Members of Wardley Writers Club have been involved in writing descriptions of our favourite pizza. Mr Malik, the club organiser, decided that he would judge the entries and the one which gave the most effective description would be purchased and eaten in our last session before half term.

The winning entry was by Jack Tweddell whose description can be read below.

It was a very difficult decision because of the high quality of the writing, all of which can be read by clicking on the links. Our advice is to read these on a full stomach so not to be tempted to dial the take away!

The Children in KS1 were all very excited when a package arrived from our link school in Uganda. Inside the package was: local craft work, pictures of children who go to Kikajjo Junior School and a lovely letter telling us about what life is like for teachers in Uganda.

What were trains and boats like in the past?

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:52:27 +0000

As part of the 'Va Va Voom!' transport themed topic, the Year Two children visited the Stephenson Railway Museum to find out about trains in the past. The children met a locomotive named 'Billy' which was built by George Stephenson nearly 200 years ago. They found out about how steam was used to power the engines. The children also got to sit in an old fashioned carriage. Here, they played a game where they had to guess a material when blindfolded, and then find the same material somewhere in the carriage. The children finished their workshop by designing their own trains.

Year 2 Multi Skills Event

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:05:18 +0000

The Year 2 travelled up to Heworth Comprehensive School to attend a multi skills sporting festival. The festival comprised of the children using their running, jumping, catching, kicking, throwing and balancing skills. All the children were very excited as it was one of the first times they had all represented the school in a competitive event. The Wardley children were split into four teams and competed with eight other teams from Whitemere, Bill Quay, Lingey House and the Drive. The children throughly enjoyed the event and their behaviour was a credit to the school.
