May Day 2012

Syd Crowns our May Queen

Tuesday 1st May might not have been the warmest or sunniest day but the weather certainly didn’t dampen our spirits as the school celebrated a long held tradition.

Every year since 1905, Worthington has crowned a Queen of The May and this year was to be no exception! Syd, our lollipop man, was on hand to crown our Queen and to present her with a bunch of beautiful flowers. The Queen then took her place on her throne and was royally entertained by firstly our English Country Dance Group.

This year we have reintroduced English Country Dancing after a long absence. It has proved to be really popular with over thirty upper junior children wanting to become involved. It’s a great way to stay fit and have fun at the same time! It also helps to raise concentration levels and assists to further develop coordination and teamwork.

Once the Queen had offered her opinion on the dancing, it was time for the main event – the May Pole Dancing.

All the children in school danced around the May Pole and our older children performed particularly difficult and complicated routines they have been learning.

Spider's Web

This particular pattern is what we call The Spider’s Web and was expertly produced. We are delighted that we will be dancing again this Saturday morning at the May Fair held at Northenden Road Methodist Church.

All the children had a wonderful afternoon and we are especially proud of our newly crowned May Queen, her Princesses and Pages – very well done!

Our Royal Party

Easter Celebrations

: Easter Hat Parade

In the final week of the Spring Term, children from our Early Years and Key Stage One Departments produced Easter hats and joined in our annual hat parade. They certainly showed their artistic ability and filled our hall with the colours of this time of the year.

: Decorated Eggs

Our Key Stage Two children designed and decorated eggs using lots of contemporary ideas as well as more traditional images. The children certainly went to town and pulled out all the stops to produce work of a very high quality.

Many congratulations to all who contributed to what was a marvellous day.

Winmarleigh Hall Year 6 Residential

Rafting

Year 6 recently took part in outdoor and adventurous activities at Winmarleigh Hall, near Garstang, Lancashire. Their three day residential adventure began with a spot of raft building and sailing. The rafts were well built but some of the sailing skills left one or two children in the drink! Despite a few wet clothes, the children had a wonderful first day and soon dired out around the camp fire at night.

During the short week, the children took part in activities they wouldn’t normally attempt at school and there were new experiences for all, including the giant swing!

: Giant Swing

The children were given superb instruction and safety was paramount. They learned so many new things and continued to develop their team skills and their confidence throughout the week. By the looks on their faces, it certainly will be a part of their school life that they will never forget!

Small School Champions 2012

: Champions!

Our boys’ football team have really worked hard this year and thoroughly deserve the title of Sale and Partington Small Schools Champions!

Shortly before Easter, we were awarded the championship and this evening we took on the winners of the large school league for the overall crown of area champs!

On an extremely wet afternoon, our boys played so well, often dominating play – particularly in the latter stages of the first half and the early stages of the second. However, after drawing a goal back via a powerful header from a corner, it wasn’t quite enough to secure the title.

Despite the defeat, this is the first time since 2006 that the school team has gone on to win major honours and we can be very proud of their achievements this year, brought about by hard work and a superb team spirit.

Many thanks must also go to Mr Chamberlain for his superb tactical coaching skills all season and to all the parents and carers who have continued to support the boys all year.

Young Voices Concert

School Choir at MEN

Last Tuesday our school choir joined 6000 children from schools throughout the North West of England for this year’s Young Voices Concert at the Manchester Evening News Arena.

We sang great songs and enjoyed performances from some very talented artists and musicians. It was an amazing experience, enjoyed by the children, staff and parents alike.

Many thanks must go to all the children who sang so enthusiastically, both in preparation and at the event. Many thanks also to Mrs Creswell, Mrs Donnelly, Mrs English and Mrs Heath for all they have done for the choir this year.

Singing Makes You Hungry - Very Hungry!
