• Whiteparish PTA never stop!

  Tue 25 Jun 2024

  I am sure that you all enjoyed the superb Whiteparish village fete on Saturday 15th June. The children certainly enjoyed arriving on the beach themed decorated trailer. It was a great success despite the best efforts of the British weather to derail it. I am sure that it will have turned out to be a great fundraiser. Working with the school, the PTA have lots of exciting plans to invest in the school. Building on the success of helping the school purchase a class set of iPads, they have allocated funds to match fund the purchase of some new class laptops which will support learning across all curriculum areas. Plans are also afoot to purchase new storage sheds for the playground.

• PTA part funded IPads proving a real hit to enhancing learning experiences

  Mon 03 Jun 2024

   

  The hard work of the Whiteparish PTA is making a real difference to the learning opportunities that we are able to offer at Whiteparish. Through their fundraising activities the school has been able to benefit from the PTA match funding the purchase of a class set of iPads, which can be used across the school. These iPads have arrived in school and are already getting plenty of use by the children for: research, revision quizzing, taking photos of learning and aiding in publishing writing. As a school we look forward to getting plenty more use out of the iPads and using them to their full potential in class. A huge thank you to the PTA for providing the children with this fantastic technology, and of course a huge thank you to all of you who support the PTA by volunteering and engaging with the events they put on. Your efforts really do make a difference. Next stop the Whiteparish Summer Fete on June 15th - we are looking forward to seeing you all there!

  

• Whiteparish Sporting Teams start the term strongly

  Fri 26 Apr 2024

  Over the first 2 weeks of the summer term, Whiteparish has already had a number of sporting teams out representing the school. Arthur (year 6) and Charlie (year 5), tell the story of the Year 5/6 Tag Rugby tournament:

   

  On the 18th April, the Year 5/6 Tag Rugby team went to Bishop's school playing fields to compete in a rugby tournament. In our first group we beat 2 teams St Marks and Bemerton, but lost to Broad Chalke, meaning we came second in our group. We the qualified into a second placed group, where we won another game menaing we finished 7th overall. It was a lot of fun because we improved in every match.

   

  It has not only been tag rugby where the school has been represented. A team of Year 5s went out to compete in the Salisbury Dodgeball festival. Compete they did returning to school as a medal winning team! Immy and George tell the story.

   

  On Wednesday 24th April at Wyvern St Edmunds, a team of year 5s attended a dodgeball festival, where there were 15 other schools (mostly year 6s). The sports hall had been divided into 3 courts, meaning three games at a time. In our first game we played a hard match with St Paul's ending in a 5:5 draw. Next we got our first win against St Peter's winning an easy 7:3. We won our next 2 matches qualifying us for the semi-finals. We fought Alderbury in our semi final but lost 8:2, but we won our 3rd/4th play off against St Osmunds 6:4, securing our bronze medals, meaning we left the tournament with a smile on our face. 

   

  Well done to all the children who represented the school and to all of the parents who helped with transport. It is a huge achievement for our pupils to compete against other schools, some of whom are six times the size of Whiteparish.

• Drop in and Read Session a huge success

  Mon 13 Nov 2023

   

  On the rather wet morning of Wednesday 8th November, family members were invited into school at the start of the day to share a book with their children and to support the school in promoting a love of reading, and what a successful start to the day it was! So many family members attended that the classrooms were full to the brim and we had to make use of extra spaces in the library to make sure that everyone could hear their children read. It makes a real difference to the children to be heard reading and to see the connection between home and school. A huge thank you to everyone who supported this.

  

• Year 5/6 and Year 3/4 football teams out representing the school

  Tue 24 Oct 2023

   

  Wider curriculum opportunities for children to represent the school across a range of sports is central to the school's core offer, and the sporting calendar is well and truly underway, with both the Year 5/6 and the Year 3/4 football teams out representing the school at inter school tournaments as part of the school's engagement with the School Games programme. 

  Freddie and Jacob take up the story of the Year 5/6 tournament:

   

  Year  5/6 went to a tournament on Wednesday 4th October at Pembroke Park Primary School. Our first match was against Gomeldon and was an evenly matched game with a score of 0-0. Our next match was against Alderbury, with a 2-0 loss in that game. We then faced Pembroke Park, which was tough but we manged to hold them to another 0-0 draw with some good defending. Then we faced Broad Chalke, after dominating the match we were awarded a penalty. Freddie scored and we had a win. We then had 3 extra games and didn't lose any of them, finishing 4th overall. It was great fun and we were proud of our achievements. 

   

  The Year 3/4 team competed in a tournament on Tuesday 17th October, playing a total of 11 games. It was the team's first competitive event and it was great to see them record a number of draws and wins across the competition. 

   

  As always a huge thank you to all of the parents who make it possible for the children to attend these events through their support with transport.
