When children are healthy, happy and safe, curiosity is ignited and learning is optimised. In this section, you will find out what children in school and nursery have been learning this week.
Children in Nursery, Peridot and Emerald Classes have enjoyed a Teddy Bear Picnic in the hall as a reward for all of their hard work this term. We have had wonderful afternoon of practising our social skills, sharing a picnic and enjoying a book or two.
We have had some fantastic entries to our Easter Egg Decorating Competition across the school. Our lucky winners were announced in assembly, and awarded their Easter Egg prizes, which have been kindly donated by Asda Express in Broseley.
Earlier this week, children from Year 3 visited All Saints Church to learn about the Easter story. We all enjoyed ourselves and the children behaved impeccably. Thank you to everyone who helped.
A group of boys in Year 5 and 6 have spent a fantastic morning with the Canal & River Trust in Wombourne on a fishing trip. The boys were a credit to the school with their sensible behaviour, beautiful manners, superb listening, and consideration for their peers, environment and general public.
A huge thank you to Tony, Mark, Mark and Kenny for giving up their time to put on this wonderful opportunity for these boys.
Nursery children have been thinking about healthy eating and how to look after our bodies. They have done a taste testing of various fruits. All children really enjoyed the choices and used some lovely describing words to tell everyone how they tasted and which were their favourites.
Children in Emerald Class had a lovely afternoon in the sun at forest school! They planted some sunflower seeds and predicted how tall they would grow.
This week, our iRock bands performed for the whole school and their parents. It is wonderful to see the children's confidence growing with each performance!
A group of our Year 6 children attended the Cressage Cup Competition. Both the football and High 5 teams did really well. Emma and Miss Slarke would like to commend the children on their behaviour and respect shown towards each other and their opposition.
We have held a Mother's Day gift sale during the school day to help the children treat the special ladies in their lives. The children have really enjoyed being able to choose something special.
A group of pupils in Year 6 have spent some of their lunchtimes with our clay expert, Emma, creating some beautiful, light-up fairy house toadstools. We are very lucky to have our own kiln to enable these activities to take place.
Children at Parent, Baby and Toddler Group had a lovely time celebrating World Book Day with some exciting activities!
John Wilkinson Primary School and Nursery have enjoyed a fantastic Roald Dahl–themed World Book Day, with children taking part in making dream jars, Willy Wonka themed chocolate experiments and a Miss Trunchbull Boot Camp! A wonderful way to celebrate creativity and our shared love of reading.
