Refugee Week

By

This week the children have been finding out about life as a refugee, and then writing based on their experiences. They have, shared refugee stories and books,

travelled in boats, interviewed an Aid worker in our own refugee camp and shared their prayers and wishes in our cardboard shelter. It has been a thought provoking and often emotional week. The children have approached this topic with empathy and incredible maturity, as well as producing some amazing writing. We even had a visit from the local press. Look out for us in The Northern Echo tomorrow or Monday.

World Book Day Winner

By

As part of our World Book Day Activities the whole school took part in a competition organised by Vision for Education to design a new cover for their favourite book. We are very proud of Anna in Year 4, who was runner up in the whole region with her new design for the cover of Alice in Wonderland. You can see a picture of her receiving her award below.

This half term Year 3 are taking part in pedestrian safety training. You may spot us in the local area, in our high-visibility jackets, looking for hazards and learning to keep ourselves safe. We will be out in all weathers!

Carols and Candles

By

Thank you to everyone who came to our Carol and Candle Service today (Friday 16th.) It was lovely to have so many families join us to listen to our children’s beautiful singing and help us get in the mood for Christmas.

Mr Rudd treated us to his traditional performance of the Twelve Days of Christmas. As it was his last day at St. Wilfrid’s, we followed this with our own goodbye anthem to him based on the songs Schools Out For Summer and Another Brick in the Wall.  The children then presented him with cards and a picture made of self portraits they had drawn to remember us all. We wish him a very happy retirement!

You can see some photographs of the afternoon below.
