It was our Singathon today. We managed to sing 11 songs. If you would like to donate to the event, please do so online via parentmail/shop.

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!

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.
