• Off Site Visits

  Thu 19 Sep 2019 Headteacher

  It has been a very busy first month of the new term with off site visits to Flamborough Head by Year 6, South Bay beach by Year 4 and Danby by Year 3.  These visits are all about using our school Locality Driver to enrich our childrens' learning experiences.

  The Year 6 Flamborough visit was a geography one to learn about coastal features. Year 4's visit was to use the beach to create art works and learn beach craft skills.  Year 3's visit was a history one to learn about how to survive in the Stone Age!

  Once again, two of these visits could not have taken place without the PTA subsidising the bus and familes kindly making a contribution to the costs.

• Skip2B Fit

  All Key Stage 1 and 2 classes enjoyed a very active Skipping or Box 2BFit workshop with Dave Gibson this week.  It is a few years since Dave visited Wheatcroft and he was very impressed with the excellent attitude and hard work of all our pupils in his workshops. Well done!

• New House Captains

  Fri 06 Sep 2019 Headteacher

  Following a very rigorous election, Year 6 pupils have elected their new House Captain for the year.  Every child who stood for election received some votes and some won by just one vote - very close!

  Congratulations to all the Year 6 pupils who prepared their presentation/speech and did so well. 

  Well done to Scarlett, Betsy, Betty, April, Toby, Ted, Finley and Rio.
