Happy Easter Everyone!

By

We have made it to the end of another busy term at Willington Primary School as we close for Easter holidays. There have been some amazing activities going on across school this week including, egg hunting, singing, story telling, arts and crafts, egg decorating and even an Easter active blast!
We would like to wish all of the Willington Primary School community a very happy and safe Easter! We look forward to seeing you back in school on Monday 17th April for another exciting term!
Enjoy your break!

Year 2 Visit the Locomotion Museum

By

Year 2 visited the Locomotion Museum in Shildon to enhance their history topic and learn about the life of George Stephenson. The children got the opportunity to take part in activities, handle authentic objects and had a tour of the museum. They had a fantastic time!

Easter Celebration

By

Children in key stage 2 took part in their Easter celebration at Willington Methodist Church on Wednesday 29th March . They certainly put a spring in everyone’s step with their uplifting songs! As usual the event was well attended and it was great to see so many parents/carers and members of the community.
A member of the community sent us a message to say “An ‘eggcellent’ Easter service at Willington Methodist Church and well done to all teachers, Mr Cornforth, and the wonderful voices from years 3,4,5 and 6. Well done”.

Our Eco Team and Recycling

By

Willington Primary School Eco Team is a child led club involving hands-on learning that gets the whole school and the wider community involved in exciting environmental projects.
They completed an environmental audit and as a team decided that they wanted to focus on these three issues:
  1. Energy – they want to reduce the amount of electricity that we use in school. That means turning of lights in unused classrooms and interactive whiteboards when they are not in use.
  2. Water – using re-usable bottles on school trips instead of single ones. Since September we have used over 200 single use bottles!
  3. School grounds – we want to make more use of our school garden – planting more plants and maintaining the outdoor areas.
Mrs Wilcox and the team met with Linda from the Co-op to talk about a joint soft plastic recycling scheme. The Co-op are going to provide us with a bin and we will be collecting in school.
Click the following link to find further information about the scheme and what can be recycled.
We also have a ‘design a mascot competition’ for Year 2-6 (forms went out yesterday). The ECO Team will choose a winner from each class and the Co-op will choose an overall winner and provide prizes.

Decorate an Egg Competition

By

What a hard job our judges had when they decided on the winners of our ‘Decorate an Easter Egg’ competition! As always we had some outstanding entries and the effort put into them was exceptional. After much deliberation they finally chose a first and second place from each class. The talented children were awarded with a prize. As we had so many entries it is impossible to show them all but here are a few of our favourites. Congratulations you are all winners! 🐤🐥🥚
