What a fantastic day we had on Friday raising money for Comic Relief!
Children and adults had a fantastic time raising money for Comic Relief. They took part in lots of activities, including activities which helped them learn about other children in the world and activities which gave them opportunities to raise money.
- They took part in a sponsored mile with Miss Hunt
- A whole school dance performance (in front of parents) with Mrs Denwood
- A session telling jokes with Mrs Francis wearing funny beards and spectacles
- Making red nose cookies with Mrs Woodward
- Listening and finding out about the story of Hassan with Miss Burgin
- Making a Whiston Wish by making someone else smile with Mrs Hall
- Being active on a trampoline with Live and Learn
Our Sport Leaders will count up asap and we will let you know how much money we raised altogether.
Finally, a big thank you to all our parents, staff and children for supporting us to make a difference to others on Comic Relief Day. We raised a fantastic £862.15!!!
Take a look at the new design for FS2 outdoor learning environment - hopefully summer 2017
We are really excited that the school governors have agreed our new plans to extend and create an exciting and immersive outdoor learning environment for FS2.
Hopefully, these will be completed in the summer of 2017.

Whiston's Got Talent
Over the last two weeks we have had a wonderful opportunity to watch our very own talents of today and tomorrow, perform their routines in the semi-finals of our very own Whiston's Got Talent competition.
The audiences were blown away with the musicality of singers and musicians, the skills of the acrobats and the confidence of the comedians, to name but a few of the different talents presented.
A well done to all of the children.

Welcome back and a Happy New Year
Happy New Year! 2017 has started with huge energy and enthusiasm here at Whiston. It is lovely to have the children back at school and many of us will enjoy being back into a routine once again.
As we start this New Year, we continue to encourage high standards of attitudes to learning and behaviour and also we continue to embed our ‘Values’ education, where children have an opportunity to observe, explore and celebrate the values of others. The values we are exploring and developing in January are ‘determination and resilience’ and over the next couple of weeks the children will set themselves challenging targets to try and reach by the end of the year!
Citizenship Award
Congratulations to all the children who joined me last term for a fabulous treat of ‘Afternoon Tea.’ We had a thoroughly lovely time. Each half term teachers choose one member of their class for our special Citizenship Award. This award is given to children who think of others by showing kindness, showing they care or just someone who is uplifting and goes that extra mile for others.
