FSF Club is reborn for 2012!

Due to popular demand, we are continuing last year’s Fantasy and Science Fiction Club on Tuesday lunchtimes in Room 13 led by Mr Henson. The FSF Club is dedicated to all things fantastical for children. Members are encouraged to draw, write, or create original artworks, stories, and poems. A selection of these will appear in a mini-magazine that will be distributed around classes and published on the school's website..

The guiding principles of the FSF Club are:

• Encouraging original creative works with a fantasy or science fiction theme
• G or PG content
• Valuing children’s creative work that would not necessarily fit into class topics
• support children with an interest in fantasy and science fiction

Weka Team have been enjoying aquatic activities. We are getting ready for the Y3 - 6 swimming sports at Highlands Intermediate on Friday March 9th: 9.15am - 12pm.  To view more aquatic photos visit the gallery.

On Wednesday (15.02.12), ten of our Year 6 students were selected to represent the school as School Councillors. Congratulations to all who put themselves forward. We had a large number of children this year, with even more boys than girls! Well done to all.

Our successful students are; Claudia Kelly, Charlotte Godwin, Max Roy, Anna Charlotte, Lacey Preece, Neo Brookes, Kody Drake, George Rideout, Jessica Frost and Xavier Kere-Rako.

Children from R7, Weka Team enjoy improving their skills at Grasshopper Tennis. Children in R7 - 13 have been taking part in four half hour sessions to learn new skills and games. It has been a great introduction to tennis for a lot of children. Next stop Wimbledon!  

The Ranfurly Shield visited Welbourn School in Week 10 Term 3. All children were lucky enough to see it up close and get a class photo taken with it. The school rugby team were happy to have a team photo with it as well!

To celebrate the range of cultures taking part in the Rugby World Cup Welbourn School had a RWC Day. Classes were split so each class had children from Y1 to Y6 in them. Each class researched a different country taking part in the RWC. Flag designing, making up chants, face painting and trying different food from their country were a few examples of what classes did. We finished the day with a parade to share the way children had dressed up and then an afternoon of fun rugby related games and relays.

Photos of this event can be viewed in our GALLERY 

In week 11 of Term 3 Welbourn held WELMAD (Welbourn Music, Art & Dance). The corridor was filled with a wonderful selection of art. The Welbourn community supported the event enthusiastically and appreciated the hard work that had all the classes and children had put into their work.
