At Wexham Court Primary, we believe in creating unforgettable moments for our pupils, and this year’s Holi celebration was no exception! The festival of colours brought vibrant energy, laughter, and a wonderful sense of togetherness to our school community. 

Our pupils lit up the school, dressed in bright, colourful outfits that perfectly captured the spirit of Holi.  

When it was time for parents to pick up their children, they were greeted with a delightful surprise! Watching our pupils spin ribbons and showcase their creativity added a magical touch to the end of a fun-filled day. Seeing the proud smiles on the faces of parents as they witnessed their children’s enthusiasm and joy was truly heartwarming. 

Events like these remind us how important it is to foster a sense of belonging and culture in our school environment. Through celebrations like Holi, we not only introduce children to diverse traditions but also create cherished memories that will stay with them for years to come. 

A big thank you to all the parents and staff who contributed to making this event such a success. We could not have done it without you! Your support and involvement help us continue to create enriching experiences for our pupils. We look forward to more celebrations that bring joy, learning, and unity to our school community! 

This year, our school came together to celebrate International Mother Language Day in a truly special way. Children and staff embraced the occasion by dressing in their beautiful cultural outfits, creating a vibrant and colourful display of the diverse backgrounds that make up our school community. The day was a testament to the importance of language, heritage, and the power of sharing cultures. 

In the week leading up to the celebration, we were fortunate to welcome parents into our classrooms to teach the children phrases from their native languages. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn directly from members of our community and gain insight into different languages and traditions. One memorable phrase that stuck with many of the children was "Jashan Mubarak", which means "Happy Celebration" in Urdu—perfect for the joyful occasion! 

These sessions were more than just language lessons; they were moments of connection, where children asked questions, learnt about different customs, and gained a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural diversity around them. 

This week has been full of excitement and hands-on learning for our Nursery and Reception children at Wexham Primary! We were delighted to welcome two special visitors who helped bring learning to life in the most engaging way. 

Our Nursery children had an incredible visit from Thames Valley police officers, who shared a fascinating insight into their roles and responsibilities. They read a wonderful story called PC Ben, which helped the children understand what police officers do to keep us safe. The officers then spoke about the different pieces of equipment on their vests, sparking curiosity and plenty of questions from our young learners! The most exciting part of the visit was stepping outside to see the police car up close. The children were thrilled to sit inside and listen to the sirens. It was an unforgettable experience! 

Meanwhile, Reception had an important and interactive session all about dental hygiene. A team of dental professionals from Wexham Dental Surgery visited to talk to the children about how to keep their teeth clean and healthy. They learnt the importance of brushing twice a day, eating tooth-friendly foods, and visiting the dentist regularly. The session was both fun and educational, helping the children understand how to take care of their smiles from an early age. 

Both of these visits provided valuable real-life experiences, reinforcing key aspects of our curriculum in an engaging and memorable way. Learning through interaction and exploration is at the heart of our early years provision, and we are so proud to offer our children these enriching opportunities. 

A big thank you to the police officers and dental professionals who took the time to visit and inspire our young learners!
