Teaching Writing Presentation
A message from Abigail and Megan in Year 6…
Dear Parent/Carer,
We would like to invite you to an evening in school to discuss how we teach writing. We will consider how we help children become better writers and develop techniques that they can use in class. We will also take the opportunity to discuss how you can help your children at home.
Please join us on Monday the 29th February at 4:30pm.
School Lumiere Festival 2016
All of the classes are preparing for a whole school Lumiere Festival that will be taking place on Wednesday 10th February 2016 from 6pm until 7pm. Everyone is invited to come and look at this light spectacle and celebrate the children’s work. More pictures will follow after the event has taken place. Keep an eye out for the latest news on the Newsletters each week…
A great turn out of parents, carers, children and staff made the night a huge success. The school was lit up with displays from each class and we also had a fire show. Even though the night was freezing (the hot chocolate helped!) everyone seemed to have a brilliant time. Here are some pictures from the night.
Top 100 Schools for progress
We have been rewarded for all our hard work and commitment to giving our children the best start in their education. West Cornforth Primary School is placed in the top 100 schools in the country for pupil’s progress and we have received a letter from the schools minister, Nick Gibb, confirming it! This is a fantastic achievement for all of the staff and children at the school and we are extremely proud! Well done!
Anti-Bullying Week 2015
This year the theme for ‘Anti-bullying Week’ was:
In school we split the classes into family groups and worked together to understand what bullying is and what we can do if it happens to us or someone we know. The pupils showed that there is nothing good or positive that comes from bullying.
Gymnastics Festival 2015
From Reception to Year 6, all classes took part in our intra-school gymnastics festival. All of the classes prepared a routine and performed it in front of each other. We have some excellent gymnasts of the future in our school!
After every class had performed, they were sent back to their classrooms to vote for their favourite. The winning class, who will go to a Gymnastics Festival in Spennymoor, was Year 6. Well done everyone!
Children In Need Talent Show
On Friday November 13th we raised money for Children In Need. Everyone donated money so that they could dress up in their pyjamas or as their favourite hero/superhero! Year 6 organised a talent show that was judged by some of the adults in school. It was 50p per person to enter. The children showed that they are fearless and determined as they went on stage and performed in front of the whole school. More than 45 people entered.
Visit by Zoolab
Zoolab, a company that specialises in animal handling experiences, came into school and worked with each class. The children experienced a range of different animals and even got to hold some. They were very brave!
