Have a look at the pictures from our Roman visitors in Year 3 this week. You will find them here http://www.walverdenprimaryschool.uk/year-3/

Please go to the gallery section of the website in order to see the pictures from the Guys Farm residential.

Our school choir went and shared their singing talent at Age Concern in Nelson.  The audience and the choir really enjoyed the experience and commented saying that the children were a credit to Walverden.  Thank you for all the staff and the members of the choir for taking part in this event.

As part of their personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), the children at Walverden school have been exploring values (honesty, integrity, kindness, perseverance etc.).  We have asked the children what values they believe are most important in a person. We would also like to know what values parents believe are important to teach children within our school.  You are invited to a meeting on Thursday 28th April where you will be given the opportunity to put across your views. We will select the six most popular values which the children will then vote from on Thursday 26th May when we will be holding a values election day. The top 3 will be taught during the next academic year, one value per term.

 

We look forward to seeing you there.

Just a reminder for all parents whose children are going to the Guys Farm Residential  there will be a special assembly on the 25th April at 9:10.  This will show all the fantastic things that the pupils will have been up to whilst at the residential.

Any questions then please ask in school.

 

 A letter for home was sent to each class from Year 2 upwards regarding ordering the Tackling tables home support pack.

 

Please return any order forms by this Thursday 24th March for the Tackling tables home support pack. The money and the order form must be brought together.

 

We hope to order next week and have been told it will take up to seven days to receive the packs. Once they arrive we shall get them distributed to the correct children in each class.

 

Many thanks for your support so far.

 

Hope the Tackling tables practise is going well and Beat the Best tests are encouraging for the children to learn and beat their last score from the previous week! Remember when they can complete Beat the Best in five minutes and under and score 100, you can reward them with their certificate and move them on.

 

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions if you want any of it clarifying I am happy to help.
