The children absolutely shone and showed their best selves during their graduation into year 6. The ceremony was introduced by some of our current year sixes, who did an excellent job of handing over the baton of responsibility. The children very proud to receive their purple jumpers, which signify their responsibility to act as role-models to all pupils. As part of the celebrations our year 5 choir sang a beautiful rendition of ‘On Top of the world’. Performance poems about their future aspirations were performed and songs were sung. All children did amazingly and we are extremely proud of them and looking forward to seeing their achievements in year 6
Wow – what a great time we had! The children and staff had an absolutely fantastic time this week at Back 2 Bear! The activities were brilliant: archery, nerf wars, angel throwing to name a few. We had a packed day on Wednesday with skill activities in groups, we went on a beautiful nature walk on Thursday and enjoyed free time with friends, toasting marshmallows and a glorious camp fire in the evenings. Special memories were made, we truly spent every second enjoying ourselves while learning new things. The tepee tents were fantastic too!
We cannot thank Spencer and the team at Back 2 Bear enough – we had an amazing few days!
Last week, members of 4BL took part in the Junior Singing Festival at the Grimsby Auditorium. The theme of the festival was Earth, Sea and Sky, and they learned songs that fitted these themes beforehand. On the day, they worked with Steven Roberts (a very experienced conductor and musical director) a live band and 300 other children from the local area to produce a performance that was fun and reflective, as well as interactive for the large audience of parents who were able to attend. The children worked hard, with only a short break in the morning, and put on a show to be proud of in the afternoon. Contenders for favorite songs were Sid the Crocodile (a humorous song with actions and voices) and The Jaguar, a reflective song about a lonely jaguar in the rainforest.
We’ve had the second instalment of our fantastic Talent Showcase! We had amazing singers, dancers and plenty of comedians. We were amazed by twin-artists who had drawn Oreo the dog and Bonny the cat! A wonderful display of talents all-round and judges and audience were very impressed. Well done to our comedian Kaitlin, our singing boys in Year 4, our wonderful girl group in Year 5 and the dynamic duo singers – Kadie and Brooke as our overall winners! You all shone and made us extremely proud. WBJS definitely has talent!
We held two fantastic sports day events that were attended by so many parents – thank you for your support on both days! The sports day consisted of 8 events. These were basketball, sack race, hurdles, javelin, discus, bean bag boccia, shot put and triple jump. Every single person gave these events 110%. Last but not least, we had the long and short distance races which were entertaining to watch and a massive well done to everyone, who competed in a race. A massive thank you to all staff, parents and especially students for making both days a success!
Something extremely exciting happened in school – we were able to open our brand-new library! Miss Stewart has been working on this project for a while: she’s researched and ordered hundreds of new books, all of which were recommended by the children! There’s comfortable seating with bean bags, cushions, and blankets so we can really use this space as an environment we can relax in with a good book. Miss Stewart has also employed a fabulous team of ‘Librarians’ to help with the upkeep and organization of the library.
