Guard of Honour

Eight children from Year 5 and Year 6 formed a Guard of Honour for the athletes’ parade during the Olympic Opening Ceremony.  The children had a tour of the Olympic Park and met some of the athletes.  Parents and friends were able to follow their progress on the day and the children left with some wonderful memories. 

 

We are a London 2012 Get Set School.  We learnt about the Olympic and Paralympic Values.   We have been very lucky to have Ellie Simmonds and Lord Sebastian Coe visit our school.

World Book Day – March 2013

We celebrated World Book Day on Friday 8th March. As part of this year’s event we invited children to dress up on that day as a character from their favourite book or a book they had at home.  This gave the children the opportunity to wear and share some of their favourite characters and stories. We conducted a whole school survey on the books that they brought in, to determine who was the children’s undisputed favourite author at Willand School.
