50th Anniversary Tea Towels and Shopping Bags

We are very pleased with the tea towels and bags which we had printed especially for the school's 50th Anniversary. There is a tea towel design for each year group in the school, including Nursery. Every child in the school completed a self-portrait, all of which have been printed onto their year group's tea towel, along with our special 50th Anniversary school logo. Mrs Juniper has already sold over half of these at the Summer Fayre and also with the help of Year 5 pupils at our 'Business Enterprise' shop in Sutton on Wednesday! She will be continuing to sell the tea towels, along with the canvas shopping bags, in the Library, before and after school, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday next week. Each item costs £3 and is a lovely memento of your children's time spent at Whitehouse Common School!

Four Oaks Cluster Choir

The cluster choir performed in the semi-finals of the Music for Youth competition on 6th July at the Symphony Hall. Even though they will not find out the rests until the Autumn, there were many positive comments from the staff, parents and audience. Well done to all the children that took part, we are very proud of you! For more information on the Four Oaks Cluster Choir please [click here].

50th Anniversary Celebrations

On Friday 1st July Whitehouse Common Primary celebrated the 50th Anniversary of our school with a fun packed day of activities. Invited guests, including old staff, ex-pupils and other VIP's, were able to witness the burying of a time capsule, unveiling of a commemorative plaque and a wide range of spectacular performances from the children across the school.

The school unveiled a brand new art work produced to commemorate the anniversary of the school. Children from across the school photographed each other in poses to reflect the key characteristics of a child at Whitehouse Common. These were then turned into silhouettes and were painted by the children.

Throughout the day, lots of photographs were taken and the events were filmed. Mrs Edwards then spent some hours putting these photos and clips together to bring you the video you see below. Take a look - it's well worth watching!

Area Sports

On Wednesday afternoon some children from KS2 took part in Area Sports at Wyndley Leisure Centre. WHC was one of eighteen local primary schools who took part in this athletic event. Each school was given a country to represent and ours was Trinidad and Tobago. The team spirit created by the children was fantastic with everyone encouraging one another, singing chants and playing the drums! Events included the long jump, vortex throw, vertical jump, 800m, 60m sprint, 80m sprint and relays. Well done to all of the children for their enthusiasm and effort in all of the events. Thank to the parents for coming to support the children.

50th Anniversary Time Capsule

We will be burying a special Time Capsule as part of our 50th celebrations!

This is the capsule, it can be opened in 2036. Mrs Dixon has worked hard to collect all the things that we are going to put inside it.
