Whitehouse Common Primary -

School Day Times 2011-2012

Whitehouse Common winners!

Congratulations to Dylan D and Joel from 4HB who have won the Birmingham Primary Languages Summer competition. The competition asked for pupils to create a healthy living poster in a language other than English. Members of 4HB and 5CD entered the competition with work that they completed as part of Healthy Heroes week. 5CD imagined what Planeta Salud (Planet Health) might be like, and 4HB created healthy superheroes using Purple Mash.  

Dylan and Joel created a hero called Aqua Ola (Waterwave) who has a friend called Sano Sangre (Healthyblood) and fights against Tarta Temor (Fear-cake), and have won a prize for themselves as well as for the school.

You can see all the winners on the BPL website.

Inaugural Governors Award

The Governing Body have initiated a Governors Award to reflect the "Achievers" vision statement of the school. This will be presented to children in Year 2 and Year 6 for achievement throughout their Key Stage. The first ever recipients of this prestigious award from Year 2 were Annabel and Mark. Well done to both of you!

They were presented with a beautiful trophy with their name engraved on by Mr Crosson, our Chair of Governors at the recent end of year assembly.

The Governors Award will be presented to Year 6 at their Leavers evening next week.

1960's School Staff!

1960's Party Day!

We were transported back to the 1960's as the children and staff dressed in some fantastic costumes to remember our school being opened in 1961. Everyone had a great day taking part in a variety of exciting activities and received a commemorative pen and pencil to remember the occasion by. Thank you to all the parents for providing the children with such great outfits!
