Ambitious and Enriching Learning Opportunities

Our children in Reception have made a great start to the year. Loving the smiles in their year group photo. Thanks to Hampshire Chronicle

Our year fours have designed Saxon style brooches and learnt how to make a simple loom and weave cloth as part of their history focus on Anglo Saxons - we think their work is pretty impressive!

Just before half term, our year four children prepared fruit and vegetables using 'claw' and 'bridge' grips as well as peeling and grating; they created some interesting smoothies as part of their Design and Technology learning.

This coming term our pupils are stepping into the past.

Weeke are taking part in Cut your Carbon Month. Our Eco-Team want everyone to take part. Find out more on the link: www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=NkN9TZtCcDs

Just to say we can't wait to have our whole school community back for autumn 2.

In design and technology lessons, year 3 children have been using computers to make prototypes of their zoo gift shop packaging as well as practicing key skills like cutting, scoring and joining.

Some of our musicians visited St Cross in Winchester to perform to an audience. Very proud - well done to all of them.

We Winchester. There are so many enriched and memorable experiences for our children that are on our doorstep. Year 5 trip to Sparsholt learning to Kayak.

Well done to our girls' football team who won 3-2 against St Peter's School in their league game. It was a very close match!

Our Year 5s are learning essential and significant skills to be historians. Mr Kirkham (our headteacher and resident historian) is very impressed. Now they are finding out and discovering why crime rates changed between the 18th and 19th century.

Year 5 enjoying their extra physical and fun exercise as part of our Walktober initiative. Great to see so many children car free with cycling and scooting to school.

Children in Early Years have been learning about repeating patterns in maths, using natural objects to recreate their own ideas.

At Weeke Primary School, we pride ourselves on being a supportive and inclusive community where every child thrives! We understand the importance of a smooth drop-off and pick-up experience for our families. With ample parking available nearby, we make it easy for you to get your child to school safely and efficiently. But that's not all! We are committed to promoting sustainable and environmentally-friendly ways to travel to school. We encourage our families to consider walking, cycling, or using our Park and Stride initiative. Every small step counts towards a healthier planet and a healthier community! What we are doing to support: 1. A bid for up to three covered bike and scooter racks (2 for our pupils and 1 for staff) 2. A further bid to provide e-charging points in the staff and visitor car park 3. Regular and termly initiatives to encourage alternative travel to school such as walking, cycling and park and stride 4. Daily check-ins and records with our Travel Tracker to monitor the modes of transport What you could do as parents: 1. Continue to work with us and support children's understanding of eco-friendly ways to travel 2. Continue to respect our neighbours and ensure you park in the ample designated spaces within the surrounding area 3. Consider carpooling and sharing the driving to not only support the environment but each other Let's work together to create a brighter future for our children and our environment!
