Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Dear All,
On behalf of all of the staff at Weddington, we would like to wish you a wonderful Christmas Break.
Thank you for supporting all of Christmas events that have taken place over the past few weeks. We want to thank our loyal and dedicated staff for all of their hard work in putting these events together. Your children are truly amazing and we have enjoyed watching them perform and get excited for Christmas.
Merry Christmas everyone.
We had the most fantastic experience today when Google Expeditions came to visit us, bringing with them their virtual reality equipment.
The children in KS1 were given phones loaded with Google Expeditions (available for you to download at home free of charge) allowing them to explore virtual reality worlds in 360 degrees detail. As they moved the phones around they could explore different parts of the virtual world which had been selected by their teacher.
They had out of this world educational experiences looking at the solar system and coral reefs with their teachers able to point them to points of interest, giving facts as they explored.
But of course it wouldn't be Christmas without exploring the North Pole and Santa's workshop!
KS2 were able to experience the Virtual Reality on another level by using special viewers (children under 7 should not use the viewers as their eyes are still developing).
This gave the children a 3D 360 degrees view, allowing them to be more submersed in the virtual reality world. Again the children were given a mix of educational worlds and some fun finding Santa and his elves.
We would love to be able to take advantage of this app and give the children the opportunity to learn fantastic facts in a fun engaging way. This is where WE NEED YOUR HELP please! Do you have any old phones running Android KitKat or newer or any Apple phones running iOS8 or above that you would be kind enough to donate to school? If you are able to donate any phones, please ensure they have no personal data on them and you have removed the SIM card and memory card.
We know the children would draw so much from this style of learning. Just look at our photos and videos to see for yourself 😊 Videos can be found on our Class Pages section.
We would like to say well done to all of the children and staff, who all worked really hard to show the inspectors our wonderful school. The inspectors identified a considerable number of strengths and provided some good advice about how we can improve our school even further.
As with all school inspections, until the report is published, which we expect to be in the next 2-3 weeks, I am unable to share specific outcomes. I will ensure that as soon as we receive the full report, you will be provided with a copy.
Thank you to all of the parents and pupils that completed the questionnaires and for the notes of praise that were sent to the inspectors
Unfortunately not the ones with chocolate chips.
