What a wonderful day we had celebrating World Book Day again this year. The children (and staff!) all looked fabulous in their costumes and pjs and we enjoyed lots of book related activities, including an author visit, virtual story times and “Drop Everything and Read”
We celebrate reading all of the time at Warberry, but it is so nice to enjoy a special day dedicated to our love of books. Huge thanks to the PTA for their book donations!
The Berries and Acorns Celebrate “I Wish I Was A…” Day!
The Reception children had an amazing time celebrating “I Wish I Was A…” Day, dressing up as all sorts of inspiring professionals! It was fantastic to see their dreams come to life as they transformed into doctors, pilots, ringmasters, police officers, and many more. We were so proud of their wonderful outfits!
At the beginning of the Spring term, children in the Hawthorn class came into school at 8:00am for their attendance celebration breakfast as they had the highest attendance in the school for the previous half term. The children were able to bring their parents and siblings to share a breakfast with them. The Hawthorn class averaged 99% for their attendance over the half term leading up to Christmas which is absolutely incredible! Attendance is a key priority for us this year as our attendance in the last academic year was slightly below the Torbay, Trust and primary school national average.
Reverend John has asked us to thank the school and our families for their generous donation to the Church’s Christmas charities. Warberry school and our parents have raised approximately £70 which has been added to the collections from the church and in total they will be able to send about £1100 to the two charities: the money will be shared between the Exmouth charity ‘Christian Response to Eastern Europe’ (CR2EE) who send relief to Ukraine and Moldova; and ‘Compassion UK’ to their appeal for providing food for hungry people in Togo, West Africa. Thank you for your generosity!
