• A King's Coronation Capsule

  Fri 05 May 2023 Mr Wallis

  To mark the historic occasion of King Charles III coronation, the pupils of Walkley Primary School have been busy creating the contents for a time capsule to be planted within the grounds of the school. The children have been writing letters to future pupils of the school and producing pictures for the children to unearth in years to come. During an assembly today, the pupils presented their work to Mr Wallis who carefully, with the help of the Chair of the School Council, secured the time capsule and using gloves (to help with the preservation of the contents of the capsule) rolled and then placed the items inside. 

   

  The children's work was fantastic; fit for a King! During our assembly, we discussed what to expect from tomorrow's hugely significant coronation ceremony and when we might suggest to the future custodians of our school would be a suitable time to dig up the capsule and explore its contents.

   

  Here are some pictures of the assembly and the children's work.

• Eid Celebrations - Friday 28th April

  Wed 26 Apr 2023

  Walkley Primary School will be holding a special day for the children in school to mark the celebration of Eid.

  Children if they choose can come to school in their FINERY or smart outfits (no football kits please!) to celebrate this special time of year.

  If it is your P.E Day, children should wear their school P.E kit.

  We look forward to finding out more about Eid-Ul-Fitr which marks the end of Ramadan.

  In school, each class will watch some videos about how Eid-Ul-Fitr and Ramadan are celebrated and children in school can share their own celebrations with their peers.

• NSPCC Assembly

  Tue 25 Apr 2023 Mr Clements

  Today, we hosted two assemblies for our Early Years/Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils in conjunction with NSPCC and their Speak Out Stay Safe campaign. Children learnt about different types of abuse and how to Speak Out to keep themselves Safe. We discussed the ways pupils can speak out at Walkley Primary School; these include speaking to a trusted adult directly, sharing concerns with the Pastoral Team via the thoughts and feelings boxes in their classrooms, safeguarding assemblies and every child's right to phone Childline. Childline is a free phone number where children can speak to a NSPCC trained counsellor. 

  These messages are in line with the Citizenship curriculum and are reinforced in Citizenship lessons and in classes throughout the year and right across school.
