When children are healthy, happy and safe, curiosity is ignited and learning is optimised. In this section, you will find out what children in school and nursery have been learning this week.
The Reception Class children have worked so hard to learn their parts and their joy shone through. How brave to stand up on that stage and perform in front of a big audience!
Thank you to all the staff for their hard work and to parents for providing costumes.
What a great way to celebrate the festive season!
Year 1 performed the 'Boogie Woogie Nativity' as their Christmas Performance. The children's singing and performance but us all in the Christmas mood!
Year 2 dazzled us with their Christmas Performance!
Year 5 and 6 signing and singing - what a fantastic performance!
Everyone at John Wilkinson Primary School and Nursery would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
Children in nursery had a fabulous morning taking part in their Christmas performance and party! They were absolutely fantastic at their lines and songs, and we are very proud of them! 
YEAR 3 & 4 CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCE
What a brilliant evening we had performing ‘Bah Humbug’ to our parents. The children have worked exceptionally hard learning lines, dance moves and songs. The hard work paid off!
We would like to thank the children for their commitment to the performance. The parents for their help supplying costumes and a few props! Finally to the staff for all their hard work directing and assisting.
We learnt that at Christmas it is a time to be thankful for what we have and treat everyone with kindness, compassion and humility.
Merry Christmas 
Year 6 have finished writing their own Mr Men book! Complete with all their unique characters on the back cover! 
The Reception class have been working hard to create some snowy Christmas scenes this week.
Key Stage One had an Advent experience morning in school hosted and organised by Sue and Rebecca from All Saint's Church, Broseley. We learnt all about the meaning behind advent and what the four candles represent. We made bookmarks saying 'Hope' for the first Sunday of Advent and made crowns for the kings. Thank you for such a lovely morning, we really enjoyed it!
Year 1 have been learning about electricity in Science this term. This week, we constructed a simple circuit and learnt about what a circuit needs to be complete. The children then made their own Christmas Decorations and lit them up using a simple circuit!
Year 4 have been working on their art skills to build up to making a multimedia image of a Viking Longship travelling to the UK from Scandinavia.
We explored different effects to create the background of the sea, including using wax resist, scumbling and blending. We also created a weave for the flag on our ship.
Thank you to our fabulous PTA for taking the time to organise, support and participate in the fabulous cinema trip. It was a lovely morning for both the children and adults.
