Today was the first Gardening Club and we concentrated on weeding. It was very cold today but the children worked incredibly hard. As we took out more weeds we got to see lots of worms which were fun to look out for. We have already discussed ideas for what we would like to plant: flowers and vegetables. 

Pupil Parliament visited the the Houses of Parliament today. We went into the House of Lords, House of Commons and other beautiful rooms. We then learnt a little bit more about Parliament and campaigning giving us ideas for what we could do in school.

Dear Parents,

 

As always, I am incredibly proud of Waddesdon Village Primary School and all that we achieve. I am delighted to inform you that, in the recent primary performance tables, the school are placed as the 12^th best school in Buckinghamshire for overall performance at the end of key stage 2 in 2017:

I would like to say a big thank you to the parents for their continued support and to the children and staff for their hard work in achieving this.

 

 

Kind regards,

Year 1 learnt all about Road Safety when walking round Waddesdon village today.

Pupil Parliament visited our link school, Jubilee Wood Primary School today. We had lunch with them and found out more about the work they do with Citizen's UK. 

Today we made cheese and chive bread. 

The Eco Buddies visited the secondary school today to see what they were doing to be more eco-friendly in school. We had a tour of the school then talked to Mrs Bridges. It was a great visit. We have lots of great ideas and hope to do more work with Mrs Bridges and the school this year.

 

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am delighted to inform you that the school will be open on Monday 8th January. This decision has been made by Bucks County Council and the school site is deemed safe for children, parents and staff to enter.

The side path, which provides access to Little Oaks is partially in use but cannot be used to access the back of the school building. On arrival at school, all children can enter the school grounds via the double gate and park gate as normal and, once the bell has rung, can enter the school via the school hall (KS2) and, as normal for Year 1 and Year 2 children. This will work in reverse at the end of the school day.

The Reception Class is not in a useable state. This means that Class R children will be based in the school hall and surrounding shared areas until further notice. On arrival at school, Class R children will be met at the school hall doors as usual. At the end of the day, they will be dismissed via the school hall doors.

Fresh Start will be providing a packed lunch for those children who have lunch orders and have selected a packed lunch preference on the Fresh Start Meal Manager for when they attend school trips.  If you have not chosen a packed lunch substitute for school trips then you will need to provide your child with a packed lunch even if you have ordered a hot lunch. No hot meals will be served until further notice.

The Year 1 phonics and reading workshop is still going ahead on Monday 8th January for a 6pm start.

I must thank you for your continued support at this time and look forward to seeing all the children back at school on Monday.

Kind regards, 

Laura Forchione
