Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Today, we have been celebrating Safer Internet Day.
To explore this year's theme 'All fun and games?', children across the school watched assemblies created by our 'Digital Heroes' team and completed a range of thought-provoking activities . The assemblies and activities allowed them time to consider the importance of being respectful online and helped them learn how to be sensible and safe users of the internet (especially in relation to games).
The wonderful assemblies can be viewed by following these links:
Following on from our lessons this week, please take some time to have a chat with your children to find out what they enjoy doing online. One of the most important steps to keeping your children safe online is understanding their online use and letting them know you are interested in what they do and that they can come and speak to you about their worries.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Weddy Friends are delighted to announce that we are once again participating in the Christmas Card Project with Art Projects for Schools Ltd (APFS).
This is a great opportunity for your child to get creative and design a piece of art that you can later purchase. You will be able to purchase the unique artwork on a range of products including mugs; wrapping paper; gift tags; a pack of 12 coloured cards or 6 larger, gloss-coated, luxury Christmas Cards.
Ultimately, we hope the children will enjoy the chance to be creative and feel a sense of achievement seeing their artwork printed on items to share with family and friends.
Children will be bringing their artwork home over the next couple of weeks. If you would like to order, simply visit https://www.apfsorders.co.uk, and input the unique artwork code - which will be found on the label on the reverse of the artwork - and your child’s first name and surname.
Orders must be placed by midnight on 8th November2021. Any orders placed after this date will be classed as a late order and will be subject to a postage fee. Re-orders can be placed through the same site using your unique code.
Please note, once you have placed your order, you must return your artwork to school (No later than 9th November 2021) to be submitted to us so that we can print your order.
Orders will be dispatched to school on 25th November 2021.
All money raised from this project will be used by Weddy Friends to directly benefit the pupils of Weddington Primary School.
Kind regards,
Weddington Primary School and Weddy Friends

At Weddington Primary School, we are proud supporters of Macmillan Cancer Care. Macmillan are a phenomenal charity which are close to many people's hearts, providing care and support for those whose lives and communities have been affected by cancer.
One of the ways we raise funds for Macmillian is through our immensely popular 'Coffee and Cake' afternoons - however this year, COVID has again put a halt to this hugely popular event. Nevertheless, our brilliant Ms Robertson is on hand with a very brave alternative... Ms Robertson has decided to willingly shave off her hair to raise funds for this crucial charity!!!
To support her and, more importantly, Macmillan please visit: https://bravetheshave.macmillan.org.uk/Shavers/fiona-robertson/ to make your donation.
Can you help Peter Everitt raise £1000?
Last year, Peter announced he would like to raise £1000 so Weddington Primary School could purchase new outdoor equipment. He is still determined to secure the money needed and will therefore be completing in the Sandman Triathlon.
More details can be found on the flyer CLICK HERE.
If you would like to make a donation to this amazing cause, please visit his JustGiving Crowdfunding Page: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sandman2021?utm_term=JrJWR8mYp
Following on from the success of last year, Weddy Friends are excited to be hosting their Scarecrow Weekend again this year.
For details of how you can get involved, please see the poster here.
Good evening,
Please see below the arrangements for pick up at the end of school for Key Stage 2 children:
3KY - Dismissed from KS2 hall door.
Please do not approach or block the door.
3CM - Dismissed from the 3/4 playground .
Parents to keep the playground free to allow the children to line up safely. Please stand at the edge of the playground when collecting your child.
4DC/4LC/4BC - Dismissed from the 5/6 playground.
Parents can wait on the edge of the playground nearest the tree line to allow the 3 classes space to line up safely.
5WP/5BS - Dismissed from the 5/6 playground.
Parents can wait on the edge of the playground nearest the tree line to allow the 2 classes space to line up safely.
Home walkers will be dismissed from the 5/6 playground and will leave via the bike shed gates.
6SB/6ER - All children will be walked around to KS1 gates by class teachers to alleviate the flow of traffic as most children are home walkers.
Parents collecting any Year 6 children are asked to wait at the front of the school away from the main gates.
We hope this helps to reduce the congestion now that the one way system has been removed.
Kind regards,
KS2 teachers.
Dear Parents and Carers,
If you have already returned the letters regarding who can collect your child from school and whether they have home walker permission, this is the information we will use going forward.
If you have not yet returned these, we will continue to use last year's permissions until Friday 10th September. After this time, the children will be kept in school until someone with parental responsibility can collect from school.
Could we please therefore ask that, if you have not already returned collection / home walker permissions, that you write in to your child's teacher as a matter of urgency to express your wishes for this academic year.
If you do not have the letters regarding this which were sent out at the end of Summer term, permission can be given via a signed, hand-written letter. However, we will also send printed letters home on Monday for those who have not already informed teachers of their wishes.
Kind regards
Weddington Primary School
