To make the process more efficient, we are using a computer based questionnaire which should allow us to identify strengths and areas for development, more easily.

The link below will take you to the secure site where you can answer some simple questions. Although a name is asked for, I can assure you that we do not receive this information; all entries are anonymous.

I would like to express how grateful we are for those who share their views with us as we take all comments extremely seriously and use them to shape our practice.

The closing date for the survey is Monday 14th July, 12.00pm.

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.

Active Kidz Programme

The Ian showed us how to use the ball with our racket to get used to holding it correctly.

We were also lucky to have a visitor, Rebecca, from the Hancock Museum who brought stuffed animals for us to examine to see how they are suited to their habitats to inspire the children even more.

Back in February, the School Council decided they wanted to raise money for a worthwhile cause and as cancer is something that appears to be a disease that can always be linked to someone you know, they decided this was a good cause.

A letter was sent out asking for a donation and School promised to make the afternoon all about fruit. The kitchen bought star fruit as a special fruity lunchtime treat and across each phase, a variety of different activities were completed. Furthermore, all classes entered the Fruity Superhero Competition. Have a look below at the class winners who have been entered into the national competition as well as some of the fruity fun we got up to!

We managed to raise £184.00, so thank you to all those who contributed!

The Year 4/5 football team were joint winners of the Felling Schools Year 5 Football tournament. Having qualified for the finals last winter, the team competed with Oakfield, South Street and Harlow Green for the trophy.

In the opening match, Karl Young scored a great goal to give the team a one-nil win against Harlow Green. We then had two goalless draws with Oakfield and South Street. After all the matches were played, the team finished first, level on points and goal difference with Oakfield Primary.

Mr Scott and Mr Evans were extremely pleased with the children’s efforts. Mr Scott was particularly delighted with captain Aidan Willis, who showed great pace, strength and maturity in defence. He also identified goalkeeper Nathan Barnes for special praise, as he kept three clean sheets. He was also outstanding on the rare occasion he was called upon to make a save. The children have been fantastic all season and will hopefully continue to progress next year.

The teaching staff at Wardley would like to thank the parents for their continued support. Without their lifts to the competition, the children would not be able to participate in so many events.
