Winterton PrimarySchool & Nursery

Congratulations to our children who achieved Learning Characteristic of the Week certificates. In Friday's Assembly, Mrs Waters presented these certificates to children, who have been chosen by their class teacher, for either excellent progress in a particular subject or for displaying one of our Learning Characteristics. During this assembly, we also celebrated good attendance and sporting achievements. Well done everyone!

Holy Trinity and All Saints Church, Winterton will be holding Back to School Blessings service on Sunday morning at 9 am, we will bless any school bags brought to church and we'll also be singing the song we learnt in assembly at school.

What a great first day back at school! It has been wonderful to welcome the children back today, hear all about their summer adventures and see them catching up with friends again. The children have settled back into school life brilliantly and have enjoyed getting to know their new classrooms, routines and the exciting learning ahead. It's been a really positive start, and we're looking forward to all that the new school year will bring. Here's a sneak peek at their first day of the new school year!

Over the summer, our Estates Team and Miss Williams have been busy transforming our Early Years setting into a vibrant space designed to spark curiosity, creativity and engagement. Inspired by a range of Early Years approaches, every part of the new environment has been thoughtfully designed to support the development of the whole child through exploration, discovery and play. We can't wait to welcome our youngest learners into their fantastic new space! If M&S did classrooms... this might just, be it! #MarksAndSpencer

Today we said a sad goodbye and a big thank you to the wonderful Miss Howe who has been the Seal Class teacher for the last year. She has been a huge asset to our school and her calm, kind and supportive nature will be greatly missed. We wish her all the best in her new job at Reedham Primary School - luckily she is still working in our Trust so we hope to be able to keep in touch with her. Thank you Miss Howe!

Year 6 Take Over the Classroom! This week, we begin to bid a fond farewell to our wonderful Year 6 pupils. At their own request, some of our oldest Sharkswho have spent the last four years in Miss Bane's classplanned, resourced and delivered a lesson to their classmates this morning. It was fantastic to see the hard work they had put into preparing their lesson. They demonstrated maturity, confidence and excellent communication skills as they stepped into the role of teacher, supporting their classmates with the activities. Their teacher mannerisms were so convincing that they had everyone smiling! We are incredibly proud of the young people they have become. They have grown into confident, caring and capable individuals, and today's lesson showed just how ready they are for the next stage of their education. Good luck, Year 6you are certainly ready to soar!

Thank You for Supporting Our Sports Day! A huge thank you to all the parents, carers and family members who came along to support our Sports Day on Monday. It was wonderful to see so many people cheering on the children and creating such a fantastic atmosphere. We are incredibly proud of all of our pupils. They demonstrated excellent teamwork, determination, resilience and sportsmanship throughout the afternoon. Every child gave their best, and it was wonderful to see everyone encouraging one another. Congratulations to all of our house teams, and a special well done to our joint winners – Green House and Yellow House! The Sports Day Cup was presented to the winning houses during Thursday's celebration assembly. Thank you once again for helping to make Sports Day such a memorable event. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
