Worlingworth CEVC Primary School

This term we have been reading Gruffalo stories and finding out about woodland habitats. We collected natural materials and made clay Gruffalo faces!

In Phonics we are learning to word build and write cvc words.

We love using mathematical equipment to solve number and measure problems.

This week Penguins and Willows have been researching the Arctic and learning about the North Pole in particular. Apart from Father Christmas we know that polar bears, arctic foxes and reindeer live there!

We have been finding out information from books and websites to help us with our writing.

In phonics we are learning to read and spell  sh, ch, ng and th words.

In Maths we have been learning how to tell the time so that we can help Father Christmas with his time keeping!

We have also been exploring what happens when you add salt to watercolour paint and we have created some very effective backgrounds for our collage Arctic foxes.

We have been very busy learning about Winter weather this week. We looked at the amazing winter sky colours and mixed our own tones of blue. We added black silhouettes of trees and used printing to add snowflakes and stars. We are continuing our topic on the North Pole next week by finding out about polar bears and Arctic foxes.

Well done Worlingworth, with your support and donations we raised £60+ to Children in need 2018.

We can now join in the helping of children who need our help, a very worthy cause and close to our hearts. We also raised £60+ for bags for school, so again thank you for your donations. The children wore a silly hat and bought in their beloved teddies to join in for the school day. The  teddies helped the children in guided reading and spellings and watched them during Maths, English and during the afternoon. The teddies even joined in the fun at break and lunch time! Thank you again for your continued support.

Years 4,5 & 6 have been working hard to learn some lovely, but also challenging, songs to perform to the composer herself and special guests at Snape Maltings concert hall. They did superbly, we are very proud of their voices and their enthusiasm. What a wonderful sound we made, congratulations year 4 ,5 & 6 on a powerful performance. The composer Errolyn Wallen mentioned how moved and pleased she was, so all our hard work obviously paid off

Unfortunately the organised cross country even was cancelled at Framlingham college due to bad weather, however Worlingworth did not let this stop us!

We took a trip to the local community field and completed our own cross country event, including a warm up lead by the Year 6 Sports Ambassadors and year group cross country races still with sports kits and coloured professional chest labels. All children showed super growth mindset and positive attitude towards the unfortunate news of cancellation and the exciting news of our own cross country events.

Well done to all who tried their best and many who helped each other with words of encouragement and celebration.

Remembrance 09.11.18 

100 years since the end of World War 1.

'The guns fell silent and the birds were heard again- Lest we forget, we will remember them'

Worlingworth commemorated and celebrated the bravery of those involved in WW1 with a history week. Children learnt about how WW1 began and how it ended, which countries were involved and why Great Britain got involved, life in the trenches and life after the war ended. Each class created beautiful poppy art which was a part of the Worlingworth Church Remembrance service on Sunday 11th November 2018. 

Nursery and reception made clay and printed paint poppies, KS1 used their sewing skills to create fabric poppies and KS2 used their abstract technique to create mixed media 2D poppy art. All of which looked brilliant as a display for our remembrance assembly and tea held at the school and then for the church service on Sunday.

A special thank you to Rev Burrell for speaking and bringing in a 'death penny' given out to families who had a bereavement in WW1, to share with the children during our school remembrance collective worship assembly on Friday.

Here's to all those who were brave for our country in the past, the present and the future.

A super week focusing on computing, programming and problem solving skills.

Nursery and Reception worked with beebots and directional language, KS1 really got to grips with word processing, saving and finding files, KS2 investigated and created own games using the software scratch.

All children enjoyed improving their computing skills, debugging skills (fixing programming mistakes) and challenging themselves to think more logically, like a computer.

Worlingworth would like to give a special thank you to: Bedfield Primary and University Campus Suffolk in Ipswich, for lending us beebots and Stradbroke and Debenham High Schools, for lending us laptops etc. All borrowed equipment aided such success during the week, so it was much appreciated.

Harvest festival at Worlingworth Primary School

A big thank you to all those who donated food for Harvest Festival, the display in the Church looked wonderful. The contributions were auctioned and the money raised will go to the Matthew Rusike Charity.
