• Cross Country event at Wimpole Nov 2023

  Wed 29 Nov 2023 Becca Thompson

  It was a lovely sunny, albeit frosty, morning at Wimpole for the South Cambs School Sport Partnerships annual Big Schools Cross Country competition on Wednesday 29th November. Over a thousand children from primary schools across the district enjoyed the event which has now become a highlight of the sporting calendar.

   

  The children who took part were competing for individual honours and team pride as they raced the 1-mile course and they were cheered on and encouraged by their teammates.

   

  There were 8 races on the day with a separate boys and girls race for years 3, 4, 5 & 6 with the first three finishers in each race receiving a medal and certificate.

   

  Our children all performed brilliantly on the day. Derek McKellar came in second in the Year 6 boys race and Eira Eagling came first in the Year 3 girls race.  We are extremely pleased to say that Year 5/6 won the event overall against all of the schools which is a fantastic achievement. A big thank you to all the staff and parents/carers who helped transport, cheer on and encourage everyone on the day.

  

• No Pens Day

  Mon 27 Nov 2023 Mrs Batters

  As part of no-pens day Year 3 and 4 children shared books with children from Year 2 classes. The conversations the children had were very positive and we are hopeful that this will have embedded connections across the key-stages which the children will continue to benefit from over the coming years.

  

• Diwali Day

  Wed 22 Nov 2023 Miss Burns

  This week, Year 5 loved celebrating Diwali through stories, artwork and cooking.  A particular highlight was an assembly hosted by Eva in 5RB and her Mum, Preeti.  They told us all about the origins of Diwali, brought in decorations from home, and answered lots of our questions about the festival.  During Diwali Day, we also cooked coconut barfi and made devas out of clay.  It was really exciting to share all of our English writing from our text Asha and the Spirit Bird, particularly our tiger monologies, which were very funny.  Thank you to all who came and celebrated with us - we hope you enjoy the photographs from our fantastic day!
