The children of Year 1 went on their first every residential and had a fabulous time at Whirlow. They all had lots of fun taking it in turns feeding, grooming and looking after all of the animals. They went on woodland walks, went searching for bugs and insects, picked conkers, rode on horses and saw real pumpkins growing in a field! So many things to learn and do and brilliant friendships and memories were made.

Also this week Y6 went on their residential to Whitby discovering all of the wonders and history of the town and Y4 who have been studying the Greeks visited Sheffield’s very own Amphitheatre to get a feel of what it would be like back in the day.

The children of Y5 went out on a trip to Mam Tor a 1,696 ft hill near Castleton. The name Mam Tor means Mother Hill and is so called because of all the mini hills below it.

The children set off on their adventure in the morning, caught the bus to Castleton and then began their walk. Once they reached the summit they all had a picnic lunch together, before their descent back down to Castleton and on the bus back to School. Well done Y5 you all did amazing, especially as you had to deal with the wet and every changing weather.

A very warm welcome back to all of our children, families and staff at Wybourn community primary school and nursery.

We would especially like to say a big hello to all of our new starters and FS2 children who have just joined us and began settling in over the last 2 weeks. Thank you to all of our current and returning children who have been helping, supporting and have made the new children feel very welcome.

We’ve had a very busy start to this academic year and children have been going out on visits to the local library, swimming and this week Y1 will be out on a trip to Western park.

Reminder:

We have information about events happening over at Wybourn Nursery and other linked schools over the summer-please ask at school main reception or nursery reception for more information.

Friday food market will continue as normal through the summer but will be over at Wybourn Nursery every Friday at 2:45pm

It’s been a very busy term and so much has been happening at Wybourn as we all get ready for the summer break.

We’ve had the summer fayre with bouncy castles, balloons and ice cream. Nursery had a wonderful visit to Cannon hall farm and we welcomed all of our lovely families to come and share assembly with their children, as they come to the end of their current academic year.

There is so much change at this time of year and we are very proud of all our current, leaving and new children and how they have all handled their transition days. There has been so much fun, smiling faces and enjoyment.

This week on Tuesday we will be holding our annual school water fight and would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a lovely summer. Stay safe in the sun, have lots of fun and we look forward to welcoming you all back in September.

Tuesday 23rd July is our last day for children and it is forecast to be extremely hot. Please send your child to school with a sun hat and wearing sun cream.

We will be having a school water fight around 11:30am, please send your child to school with a full change of clothes including underwear and shoes. Children are also invited to bring in a toy to play with but we ask that no valuables are brought in.

Thank you.

Last week at Wybourn:

Y2 children went to Pizza Express and got to make their own pizza from scratch and take it home to show, eat and share their creations.

Y5 had a brilliant day down at Rother valley. They got to play games, ride bikes and after all that fresh air and exercise had a well-deserved picnic lunch.

Meanwhile over at Nursery, all the children took part in Barnado’s charity raising event ‘Big toddle’. All their little feet walked around the park and back and received a medal for their amazing efforts. Thank you to everyone who sponsored the children who have (so far) raised an amazing £788.50!!

This week we continued with our Urban and Rural school swap. Our Y5 children headed across for a fun filled day at Oughtibridge. The children that visited Wybourn had an amazing adventure as they took part in our wonderful forest school. They all learned to work as a team and build dens, create a camp fire, explore the colours and nature around us and finished off by toasting marshmallows.

This week was filled with happy memories but sad goodbyes as our Y6 children had their last week at Wybourn. The children were all given a class book to have signed and they created and made their own t-shirts to keep as a memory of their time at Wybourn primary school. The last day was full of fun and happy tears and on Thursday night the children enjoyed their Prom. They danced the night away, had a buffet and picked their prom king and queen. We are so proud of them all and wish them all the best in their next education adventure to secondary school.
