Our Anti-bullying Alliance group at Widey have so far raised over £400 completing a sponsored silence today between 9am and 3 on! We will release a final amount once it’s all in and counted. The money will go towards resources to help all children in the school with their emotions and provide a safe space for children to go during lunch time if they need it… watch this space! Well done team! Thank you to their families and friends for supporting this event and Miss Davies for organising it! 🤐⭐️🤐⭐️🤐⭐️🤐⭐️

We will miss you Mrs Wesemann! Thank you for everything you’ve done to support the Widey children, families and staff! Wishing you so much happiness in your new ventures! 💚⭐️💚⭐️

‼️Red Nose Soya Allergy‼️ Good morning everyone! We have been made aware last night that the red noses have been made out of soya beans and we have a little girl in Oak Class who is allergic to soya. We would really appreciate your support in keeping our little friend safe today in light of this news. We will ensure today that, if red noses are brought in, we will keep them in the classroom and will wash hands / sanitise before leaving. Many thanks for your support with this! ❤️ We know we are in for a lovely day with red non-uniform day, Danceathon session in the hall and a yummy biscuit made by our wonderful Becky and the team! Raising money for a worthy cause! Thank you! 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

Session 2 for our EYFS forest school learning. The children had a lovely time in their costumes and pyjamas in the forest today! Mrs Dawes and Mrs Maiden hid 30 cones all painted with different colours for the children to find in the woods! Everybody worked in their pairs and there were some lovely acts of kindness shown by the children who all helped each other! Well done! We are looking forward to next week's leaf rubbing session! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Year 4 are incredibly proud to share some exciting news with you! Year 4’s wonderful Roman writing is now beautifully displayed at Crownhill Library, where members of the public can enjoy and appreciate the children’s hard work. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to feel a real sense of pride in their work and we hope you take a moment to visit the library and see the work for yourselves! Well done Year 4! Thank you Mrs Omlo for taking the time to display this work! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
