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 pupil in flamingos has had an outstanding weekend in her Irish dancing competition in Coventry:

She achieved 1st place, 2 x 3rd places and 1 x 4th place all in the higher ranked category.

Well done, we are very proud!

This Week's Successes!

This year 6 child, who loves everything musical, successfully auditioned for the solo singer part in Mimi and the Mountain Dragon, which will be played live with the Peterborough Youth Orchestra and local professional musicians, at The New Theatre, Peterborough, on 28 November. 

Well done, we are very proud! 

As part of our reading scheme in KS2, children embark on their journey into Accelerated Reader.  After a child completes reading a text they take an online quiz, which records their word count and then at the end of each half term, we see if we have any 'Word Millionaires' across  the key stage. 

We would like to celebrate Mason P from Year 3 as our first 'Word Millionaire' from  Autumn 1 term and look forward to seeing many more millionaires join as the year progresses. Well done to Mason, we hope you wear your badge with pride.
