Some of the children who attend Ms Porter's 'Track Tuesday' club were given the opportunity to join other Peterborough primary schools for a Fun Run at Ormiston Meadows Academy.  The top three children in each race were awarded a medal and OWPS achieved 3^rd place in the boys 'and the girls race.  As a school, we came 3^rd overall.  Particularly impressive was that all of the children completed every lap; no one dropped out, despite the heat.  One of the children lost their trainer on lap one and still continued to run!  Two of our children were singled out for exceptional manners too.  Well done all, you represented the school with PRIDE.

Here at Orton Wistow Primary School, we recognise that success comes in all different shapes and sizes! We celebrate the children's achievements in school in the Achievements section of the newsletter and website.

Many of the children, however, are also achieving things outside of school.  We would like to recognise these successes too.

It might be that your child has passed a music or dance exam, gained a karate belt, starred in a show, volunteered, taken part in a sporting event, or done something that they didn't think was possible!

If you would like to share your child's achievements with us so that we can celebrate their success, please complete the Celebrating Success form which can also be found below.  Contributions will be considered for inclusion in upcoming editions of the newsletter.

We look forward to hearing about your children's extracurricular achievements!

This Week's Successes!

Millie has been nominated for the best breakthrough artist at the National Entertainment awards. However, she needs lots of votes to win and voting closes on 9th June. As a school, it is always amazing to support one of our own students at OWPS.

Goodluck!

We are delighted to invite you to a very special celebration of creativity and talent at our school – Every Child An Artist – taking place on Tuesday 8th July from 3.30pm to 4.30pm.

Thank you for your support. 

On Thursday 8th of May, we celebrated the 80th anniversary of VE Day.  The school was a wonderful sea or red, white and blue.  For our Talk Time assembly in our classes, we learnt about what VE Day is and why we still celebrate it.   

At lunchtime, we had our very own street party.  The menu was adapted to reflect some tasty food from WWII.  We listened to war time songs and waved flags. 

In the afternoon, each class completed different activities from: designing medals and commemorative plates to becoming Bletchley code breakers and solving wordsearches to learn new vocabulary. 

Join Your Child for a Special Lunchtime Experience!
Did you know you're always welcome to come and share a school lunch with your child? It’s not just for parents and carers—grandparents, aunties, uncles, older siblings, and other family members are more than welcome too!

Children absolutely love seeing a familiar face at lunchtime. It adds something truly special to their school day and creates lasting memories. We’d love to see you there!
