Congratulations to the following children who were chosen to receive The Take Notice Honours Award.

On Wednesday 19th March, Year 6 went to Bletchley Park. First they made their way to the code-breaking area where they learnt how to code break, like they did back in the day, and then also got to have a go using the Enigma machine- whilst learning about Morse code. They then headed off to the mansion, where they were able to see all the old furniture and items used in those times.

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!

This child in year 2 earned his purple belt as his martial arts grading this week. He was so proud of this massive achievement. Well done!

Break the Rules Day is back! Friday 4th April 2025!

By now you will have received an email from the school office with the details of how to sign up. For those of you who weren't here last year, or even for a few of you who were, you're probably wondering what this is all about. 

On Break the Rules Day, for this one day, the children are allowed to do things a little differently. For a small donation per rule, your children can choose with you the rules they wish to break. Payments are set up on ParentMail, so you only pay for the rules you choose to break. Couldn't be simpler, just remember to keep track of your choices so you don't forget to break a rule you've paid for! Payments close at 2pm on Thursday.

Happy rule breaking!

Last week Year One put on a wonderful performance of The Robot and the Bluebird (an adaptation of the book by David Lucas), impressing everyone with their enthusiasm and talent. The children delivered fantastic songs, including a special solo that wowed the audience. Each performer shone on stage, bringing the story to life with confidence and energy. Parents enjoyed watching the show, it was a truly memorable performance! Well done Year 1!
