Wendover Junior School update, Easter 2017

Easter is almost here! We are busy preparing for our services at St Mary’s Church and children have been encouraged to do something for Lent, rather than give something up.

As always, our children are hard at work. Our focus this year is writing and it has been really encouraging to see just how much they have improved this year so far. There has been a good deal of fine work produced in other areas of the curriculum too: Year 3 have been completing artwork based on famous paintings; Year 4 are working on the Vikings and Lindisfarne; Year 5 are designing iconic buildings and presenting these to ‘the Dragons’ to seek investment; Year 6 have just begun their local study about Buckinghamshire and WW1. Outside the classroom, students are representing the school in cross-country, football, netball, tennis, swimming, multi-skills and dance. There is also a new activity this year which benefits the school – Gardening Club. Thank you to all the staff and parents who have made this possible.

Our community work continues with the school council organising a fundraising event for Macmillan Cancer Support. Additionally, we are forging links with the Pace Centre in Aylesbury and Lindengate in Wendover.
Our focus value this month is Respect. We have been thinking about why we respect people and how we can show respect for each other. We encourage everyone in school to only say positive, supportive things to each other.

If you would like to help in school, even for just a short time, please call or email the school office for further details: 01296 696822, admin@wendoverjunior.co.uk.
