  The whole school enjoyed our annual visit from Image Musical Theatre this morning as they presented their version of Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant.

  Some of our pupils were given acting roles in the play and did a fantastic job. Everyone else participated by singing the songs.

  A thank you to the PTA who pay for this visit every year.

• BBC Children in Need Day 2018

  Fri 16 Nov 2018

  Wheatcroft pupils and families supported this annual, national fundraiser by wearing spots and/or stripes to school and donating lots of money!

  A huge well done to every Year 6 pupil who baked and brought in a wonderful selection of cakes and biscuits to sell to pupils in every class. Mrs Kirby led the assembly at the end of the day and announced the grand total raised of £355.00

  Last year, we raised £205.00 so this is a big increase -

  THANK YOU!

  

• Remembrance Day - WW1 Centenary

  Fri 09 Nov 2018 Headteacher

  Over the course of this week, all our classes have been doing work on Remembrance and learning about poppies and the centenary of the end of the end of the Great War in 1918.  Mrs Hayes organised a special Remembrance board in school which all the classes have contributed poppies to with people and animals they wanted to remember (see photograph).  Mrs Earle collected over 200 poppies made by each class and put them into a 100 banner which is attached to our Filey Road fence (see photograph of Year 2 with the banner). Year 1 made poppy pebbles and Year made a 3-d poppy from cardboard.

  As always, we held a special Remembrance assembly which included all pupils taking part in a two minute silence. Year 6 pupils George, Lucas, Mina and Cassie read John McCrae's Flanders Field poem from 1915. We also sang our remembrance song -We will Remember accompanied by Year 6 pupils as well as playing the national anthem.
