PRE-PREP
Year 1 were resplendent in their costumes during this year’s World Book Day on Thursday!
PREP
Prep and Year 7/8 students arrived in costumes to listen to staff members read excerpts from their favourite books/books linked to their World Book Day characters.
Huge thanks to Mr. O’Kane for hosting and for his readings of ‘Lyttelton’s Britain’ and an intense encounter from a book about the Black Death – complete in his Christmas Truce soldier costume! Thanks also to Mrs Hill, Miss Wood and Mrs Cook for their fantastic readings of the ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’, and to Mrs Ash for her reading of an extract of ‘The Final Year’ by Matt Goodfellow.
Well done to all Prep, Year 7 and 8 students who participated in the World Book Day festivities and donated money – your costumes were fantastic!
SENIOR
World Book Day sees Shrek in his own swamp on the Navigation Hike!
A remarkable amount of recent rain turning the viewing platform for this pond into… more pond!
The mixed U13s football team narrowly lost 2-1 at St. Hugh’s after an excellent goal from Freddie, after a pinpoint corner from Danny. Well done to all on a cracking effort!

Thank you for your support!
All at Wellow and the FOW would like to take this opportunity to thank David Clayborn for taking the time to sort out the car park last weekend – what a difference it has made!
Thank you for all your effort and support, David – it certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed!
David will be in school this Saturday from 8:30am to remove the tree stump – I’m sure he would be delighted if any volunteers wish to help support!
