  • Celebrating International Mother Language Day: A Joyful Celebration of Culture and Diversity

    Published 14/02/25, by Attia Mian

    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.

  • A Magical Author Visit: Year 5 & 6 Meet Michelle Harrison

    Published 13/02/25, by Attia Mian

    Excitement filled the air as our Year 5 and 6 students gathered for a special visit from the acclaimed children’s author, Michelle Harrison. Known for her spellbinding books, including A Pinch of Magic and The Thirteen Treasures, Michelle captivated the students with her engaging assembly, offering a fascinating glimpse into her world of storytelling.

    She shared insights into her writing journey, revealing the inspirations behind her books and characters. Michelle spoke about the importance of imagination, perseverance, and creativity in storytelling, leaving the students motivated to explore their own writing potential.

    One of the highlights of the assembly was when Michelle read a short extract from her latest book, Twice Upon A Time. As she brought her characters to life with expressive reading, the students sat mesmerised, hanging onto every word. She also shared some behind-the-scenes stories about her writing process, from initial ideas to final publication, giving the children a deeper understanding of what it takes to be an author.

    After the assembly, students had the wonderful opportunity to meet Michelle in person for a book signing. Michelle took the time to chat with each student, answering their questions and encouraging them to keep reading and writing.

    The visit from Michelle Harrison was truly inspiring. Her words ignited a passion for storytelling in our students, many of whom left the event feeling inspired to write their own magical tales.

    We are incredibly grateful to Michelle for taking the time to visit our school and share her love of literature with us. We look forward to welcoming more authors in the future and continuing to nurture a love for reading and writing in our students!

  • This Week’s Visitors for Early Years: Learning Through Real-Life Experiences!

    Published 06/02/25, by Attia Mian

    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!
