Woodthorpe Primary School

This week, Cygnets have been learning all about the Arctic. Yesterday we learnt how Inuit's build their own igloos out of snow. We decided to have a go at making our own igloo using our den building equipment. We cooked food on our pretend fire and made our own sledge.#WPSYR

Connecting science and geography knowledge, Year 4 worked in groups to recreate the water cycle ahead of our river trip to Dalby Forest tomorrow! #WPSYGeography #WPSYY4

Reception loved World Book day last week. We made our own bookmarks, read lots of stories, and had a wonderful visit from Year 3. A huge thank you to all our parents for the amazing costumes, it certainly made World Book day come alive. #WPSYR #WPSYReading

Kingfisher class loved celebrating World Book Day! We loved making bookmarks for our reading buddies in Year 4! 📚❤️#WPSYY1 #WPSYReading

Cygnets loved their visit from Farmer Carl this afternoon. We gave the lamb his lunchtime milk, and stroked Henrietta the hen. Farmer Carl talked about what Spring is like on his farm and asked Miss Wheeler to hold the lamb whilst he talked about his other animals. #WPSYR

Eagles had an amazing trip to Lotherton Hall! We explored the Wildlife World and saw some incredible animals, then stepped back in time for a WW2 evacuation experience: we learnt Morse code, practised wartime first aid and even took part in an air raid. #WPSYY6 #WPSYHistory

Row, row, row your boat. What an amazing DT week Reception have had this week learning all about different types of boats! We did incredible boat designs before using our recycling from home and wood from our woodwork area to make our boats and bring them to life. #WPSYR #WPSYDT

Today in the forest we used fire steels to light our very own fires! We made sure we followed the fire safety rules and showed lots of perseverance and resilience! Great work #WPSYY3 🔥🌳 #WPSYForest

Year 1 had a brilliant afternoon making hand puppets as part of our textiles unit in DT! We think they look so cute! ❤️ #WPSYY1 #WPSYDT

Reception have loved a week pretending to be Kings and Queens. We have learnt all about the Queen and King Charles and have enjoyed dressing up as them, painting ourselves as a Kings and Queens and making them in woodwork too. What a royal week! #WPSYR #WPSYhistory 👑👑 🤴🏻👸

Nursery have been learning all about dinosaurs! Together we have enjoyed talking about our favourite dinosaurs and painting them. We have also loved taking on the role of palaeontologists, just like Mary Anning! #WPSYN #WPSYHistory

In KS1, we are working hard to improve our attendance! This week, we said well done to a group of KS1 children who have been in school every day! They celebrated at our new attendance party table!❤️
