The Attendance Premiership
Ever Day Counts! Forget what's going on in the Barclay's Premiership, everyone at Wardley wants to know which class is winning the Attendance Premiership.
Each class plays as a team and tries to score as many points as possible during the week. Points are awarded for the overall attendance percentage as well as the number of children who achieve 100% during the week.
At the end of the season (each term) the team in first place will get to hold aloft the mighty trophy during a ceremony which will crown them the THE ATTENDANCE CHAMPIONS.
The league will be updated weekly, so you can see the class positions.
In addition, there will be a player and manager of the month whose photos will be part of the attendance displays in both buildings.

Every Picture Tells
The arts company Every Picture Tells came to work with the Early Years children to produce some art and craft work related to traditional stories. Firstly, the children listened to an alternative version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. A storyboard was used to help to tell the story and afterwards, the children had the opportunity to produce a baby bear picture. To finish off the visit, the children took part in a mini quiz: Guess the traditional story. The children were excellent at the quiz and guessed all the answers correctly! A fabulous time was had by all.

Artsmark Silver Celebrations!
We are extremely proud to announce that the school has achieved the Artsmark Silver award for our high level of provision to the arts. By gaining the Artsmark Silver award, the school has shown it's commitment to the wider development of pupils and teachers and to raising the profile of it's arts provision both within the school and the local community.
The arts cover the four artforms of art, drama, dance and music. Over the last couple of years, we have been developing and increasing the provision we offer to the children through organising a range of activities to enrich and broaden the curriculum, such as visits to arts organisations, artists coming in to school, various competitions, and events within school.
The awards ceremony was held at the Northern Stage in Newcastle and it was a fun filled event, with music and dance performances from various schools around the North East. Heather Seymour and Adam McIntyre accompanied Miss Gillie and Mr Malik to collect the award and to celebrate the achievement.
Thank you to all of the staff and pupils at Wardley for their hard work and dedication to the arts.
