Published 02/05/25Here 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!

Published 02/05/25Last 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.

Published 28/03/25On 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.
Read MoreYear 2 Burghley House Trip
Published 28/03/25On Wednesday 26th March, Year 2 went to Burghley House to learn about kings and queens. We were so proud of how the children represented the school. Many members of the public commented on how smartly we were dressed and how well-behaved the children were.
We started the day by meeting William Cecil and King Henry VIII. King Henry gave us lots of information about his life and answered all of our questions. We then had a tour of the impressive building. We got to see Queen Elizabeth I's and Queen Victoria's bedrooms! After that, we spent some time in a Tudor dining room, learning about the different seats at the table and what different social classes were allowed to eat. After lunch, we played some Tudor games and learnt a Tudor dance.
Overall, we had a fantastic day and learnt so much more about monarchs.
