Wilden VA Nursery and Primary School

Our garden is blooming beautifully with edible delights!

Come along if you are a current year 6, 7or 8 child who attends or used to attend Wilden Primary for a reunion

How does a small school in a beautiful Victorian building keep their children cool whilst still learning in this heatwave...?

..Our EYFS coordinator Mrs Bawden builds an outdoor classroom of course!

All our staff are working hard to ensure our children remain safe in this heat whilst still focussing on their lessons.
KS2 are lucky enough to have air conditioned classrooms
KS1 have taken their classroom outside with a water fountain, cool shaded desks and all their usual equipment so there is very little disruption
Nursery children are building dens and learning with water and sand
Years 5&6 are making Blood smoothies when learning all about our bodies!

The weather doesn't stop our children from learning and having fun!
"The small school with a big heart where we learn together and grow as a family"

Our Bee Orchids are flourishing on our pavilion field, what a joy to see!🥰

Our smaller seeds at Wilden have been in touch with nature this week!. Today we enjoyed a wonderful visit from a Beekeeper! We learnt all about the Queen bee, bee varieties and how precious they are. We also got to taste some delicious raw honey! One of our parents also generously gave up some of her time to show us her week old chicks! They were absolutely adorable!

Our May day was a wonderful success. These amazing images by https://c3photography.co.uk/ really capture the children's hard work and enthusiasm! Thank you to all who visited: families from our past, present and future really put a smile on our faces!

A busy Friday afternoon at Wilden today with lots of active children! We have 2 clubs happening, Bollywood dance and Multi Sports which today is Archery! There's already been a few bullseye's!

May Day is nearly upon us, the children having been practising their dancing, and bouncy castle and coffee bar have been booked! Come along on Monday for some traditional dancing, ice cream, pimms, burgers and games with our local scouts. Open 11am-1pm with dancing after 12. We look forward to welcoming back Humble Home Gifts & Furniture, Bux Kitchen

It's a perfect weekend to get our garden sorted! We'd welcome any support at 1.30 - 3.30 tomorrow (Sunday) to get some planting done, and we'd also welcome any expert gardening advice, it transpires that neither myself or the PTA have much garden knowledge!
