On Wednesday 11^th December, the OWPS Choir went to Notcutts to perform some of the songs that we have been learning this term. The children represented the school brilliantly, and sang beautifully. They've been working very hard on aspects of their singing, trying to enunciate the words clearly, and include some dynamics and shaping into their songs. They were absolute stars and really enjoyed the performance. Thank you to those who came along to watch us - it was wonderful to have such a supportive audience. In the final week of term we will be visiting Napier Place and singing to the residents 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!

This child took part in performing at the Christmas show spectacular last Sunday. She and over 130 other girls ages 3 to 18, from the Peterborough performing arts school have worked really hard every Saturday since summer and delivered a high-class show on the day. They danced and sang our favourite Christmas classics. She shined at her acrobatics talent.

We will be having the Book Fair in school again soon, just in time for the FOWS Christmas Fayre on Friday 13th Dec, and after school on Monday 16th. Every purchase raises money for us to buy books for school, and this year for the first time we will have a card machine for contactless payments -so it's the perfect opportunity to do a little Christmas shopping! 

We recently took part in the St Andrews Church Christmas Card Competition, where students designed their own cards. We are proud to say the two entries below were chosen to be printed. Entries are also displayed at the Church in Alwaton during the month of December.
