The pupils in KS2 are now officially ‘Dementia Friends’ after their wonderful training with Mrs Charlton at the end of February. They spoke maturely about how they can help people who are living with dementia. Some of the pupils’ comments include:

‘We shouldn’t point or laugh at someone who has dementia’

‘Help people by being kind and polite’

‘Think of ways to help people, such as labelling their clothes or helping them home’

Our WRPS family are, as always, the kindest one there is.

Two classes went along to the village green to plant flowers which will be ready to make the village colourful in the Spring. We were delighted to be asked to help, and it will be a proud moment for us, when our hard work begins to ‘pop’ through the soil! Recently, we had a visit from Ted, the mascot, to present our school with a certificate!

Mrs Firth was very proud to have the pleasure of taking two of our fabulous Year 6 pupils, who are ‘Ambulance Mini Medics’ to visit University Hospital North Durham in December, to deliver Christmas presents with representatives from Tesco in Durham. They donated all of the gifts, and we were thrilled to go along and visit, alongside two pupils from Bowburn Junior School. The Treetops ward were very grateful for the generosity of Tesco, and we thank them for their help.  Many thanks to the ambulance service, and Robin Raymond for his continued support.
