Dear parents and carers,

It feels like we have had just about every type of weather this week! It has not stopped us from having another productive four days in school and we are already about to start the penultimate week of this half-term. 

SATs Week

Well done to all the Year Six children for completing their SATs this week. After another long weekend, they didn't get underway until Tuesday with the GPS and Spelling papers, followed by the reading paper and then the three maths papers. We have been blown away by the children's attitudes this week and this was also commented on by Claire Drake from the Local Authority who carried out an unannounced moderation visit of the SATs administration on Wednesday. She was pleased with everything she saw and the children and staff can feel proud of what they have done this week. 

Coronation Arts & Culture Project

The project designed by Miss. Ellis and Mrs. McIntosh is now on display in our art gallery by the front entrance to the school. Each class was given a different Commonwealth country to focus on. Each class created a representation of the country's national flower and immersed themselves in the country's art and culture. The work is stunning!

Are you smarter than a Wistow pupil?

Good luck answering this selection of questions that have been asked in classes across the school this week:

1. In FS we have been learning about animals that hatch from an egg and those that are mammals. Can you name 5 animals that are mammals? (FS)

2. What are the features of a letter? (Year Two English)

3. Why did punishment become so bloody in the 18^th Century? (Year 5 History)

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. See you all back in school on Monday.

Mr. Marks
