During the Autumn Term ten of our year 5 and 6 children took part in the Primary Maths Challenge. This challenge is a fun, nationwide mathematical contest for primary school pupils aged 9–11 (Years 5 and 6). All ten of our children performed brilliantly and at the time of writing the children are waiting to see whether any of them qualify for the final round in February. Good Luck everyone!

Winners Parade their Medals Pictured here are the proud winners of medals from the recent invitational event between local school teams from Springdale, Warstones and Springvale.

Wilkinson’s Cross Country Team took part in an invitational event between local school teams from Springdale, Warstones and Springvale. They brought home a flurry of medals with individual successes across the year groups as well as a clean sweep of gold places for boys’ and girls’ teams from Yr 3  and 4 and teams from Yr 5 and 6. We look forward to another event later in the year.

The boys football team played their second game of the season and took part in a hard earned 3-3 draw at home against Lanesfield Primary.  It was a fine performance with Rio scoring two goals and Arire getting a third.

Children throughout EYFS have enjoyed a magical festive event with their parents! Everyone gathered to listen to a special letter read aloud from Santa himself, which filled the room with excitement! The children then worked with their parents to create their own letters to post to Santa. They cut pictures out of catalogues, labelled their pictures and made sure they wrote their names on. It was important that Santa knew who their letter was from!  Once the letters were ready

In Year 4 children have been studying Judaism this term. We learnt about Shabbat and have freeze framed the practices involved in the celebration.

As part of their topic work, Year 1 asked Mr Bickford to come down and tell them about his favourite places that he had lived. The children used Google Earth to visit different places around the world including the famous ruins of Machu Picchu, The Taj Mahal and the Sydney Opera House!
