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!

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!

Lyra travelled to Disneyland Paris with her dance school, The Hebden School of Dancing, after fundraising an incredible £1000 towards the cost of the trip to dance on the performing arts stage. 
Very proud parents and big brother and memories that will last a lifetime. Well done!

Molly was awarded the coaches trophy this season at Peterborough Lions Rugby Club in the tag rugby category (U9). She won the award for listening to her coaches, helping lead the team and demonstrating the values of the club when playing other local teams. Well done!

Another 2 Can Learn! This time Year 1 families joined us for a session to help the children make bunting. This is all in preparation for some upcoming VE Day celebrations. Thank you for coming. We can't wait to see it all on display.

 

Last week. Y5 pupils had the opportunity to work alongside an adult to create a Greek Salad wrap. This activity encouraged the children to focus on seasonal produce, a range of chopping, slicing and grating techniques and finished off our topic, learning all about the Ancient Greeks. Thank you to all of the adults, who came to support the Year 5 2 Can Learn.  We thoroughly enjoyed having you to join your children making the Greek Salad wraps, as part of our DT unit of work and hope many of you choose to replicate the salad again at home. 

Year Four had an amazing time at Grafham Water this week. They were brave, resilient and amazing ambassadors for our school. Thank you to the staff that took them on the residential and well done to all the children for getting stuck in and making the most of it! We are all sorry to have missed Mrs. Granville falling into the middle of the lake!
