What a joyous and enriching experience our Key Stage 1 classes had this week! Our children truly became little time travellers as they journeyed to Warrington Museum & Art Gallery to explore how children played in the past .

The visit was a huge success, perfectly linking to our history curriculum and helping the children understand what life was like for their grandparents and great-grandparents.

The children had the chance to handle and play with authentic toys from over a hundred years ago. They quickly discovered that even without batteries or screens, playing with simple wooden trains and rag dolls could be full of fun and imagination! 

These experiences are so vital in helping our children's personal development—they nurture curiosity, empathy, and a deep understanding of the wider world. We were exceptionally proud of the excellent behaviour and inquisitive attitudes displayed by every single child, with museum staff commenting on their enthusiasm. 

Mad Science visited us today for a Mad Science Assembly! We are now offering a Mad Science After School Club on a Friday from 7th November. The deadline for registrations is Friday 10th October. You can register your children online at https://northengland.madscience.org on a first-come, first-served basis.

 Payment by instalments is available. If you have any problems or queries with booking please call Mad Science directly on 01772 628844 and they'll be happy to help!

We are thrilled to announce that the spectacular annual Wincham Halloween Disco is just around the corner! Get ready for an evening of spooky fun, fantastic dancing, and community spirit, all organised by our wonderful Wincham Family & Friends PTA.

When? Friday, 24th October Time? 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM Where? The Community Centre

This is one of the biggest social events of the school calendar, and it’s a brilliant opportunity for the children (and grown-ups!) to come together for a great night out.

How You Can Support the Fun!

To help make the stalls a great success, we are holding a special fundraising event:

Tombola Non-Uniform Day:

• Date: Thursday, 16th October 2025

• What to do: Children can come to school in their own clothes in exchange for a donation to the Tombola.

• Donations Needed: Please bring in an item for the Tombola stall (e.g., Halloween themed sweets, chocolates, cakes, decorations etc.)  Please note: This is a normal non-uniform day, not a Halloween dress-up day.

Here’s a taste of what’s in store at the disco:

• Disco & Party Games: Get your dancing shoes on and show off your best spooky moves!

• Terrifying Treats: Hot dogs and delicious baked potatoes with your choice of chilli or beans.

• The Spooky Stalls: Try your luck at the Tombola, get a gruesome makeover at the Spooky Face Painting station, play fun Halloween Games, and dive into the Lucky Dip. Don't forget to Guess the Sweets in a Jar!

• For the Grown-Ups: Our PTA will be running a Licensed Bar and Mocktail Bar for parents and carers to enjoy a catch-up.

Why is this important? Every penny raised from the disco goes directly back into the school to fund resources, equipment, and enrichment activities that benefit all our pupils. By attending, you are supporting our commitment to making Wincham a vibrant and well-resourced learning environment for every child.

Get ready for a spooktacular afternoon because the Treetops After School Club Halloween Party is here! Due to popular demand (our official naming party sold out incredibly fast!), we are opening bookings for our Halloween extravaganza on Wednesday, 22nd October 2025.  Please note, this is a separate event to the WFF event on Friday 14/10/25.

The children are in for an afternoon packed with fun and games, delicious spooky food and treats, and a fantastic festive atmosphere. We have limited places available, and we expect them to be snapped up quickly, so please book soon to avoid disappointment!

A Quick Note on Costumes:

As the children will be coming straight to Treetops directly after the school day, we kindly ask that they do not wear full costumes to school. Instead, they are welcome to bring one or two small, fun, Halloween-themed items to pop on for the party, such as a witch's hat, a themed jumper, or some spooky accessories. We won't be able to help apply face paints! This keeps things safe and sensible during the school day.

How to Book:

Book your child's place online now at: https://wincham.hivelink.co.uk/ Please remember, usual Treetops session prices apply.

Don't miss out on what promises to be a wonderfully spooky and exciting afternoon!

As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, we are delighted to invite you to our annual Harvest Assembly! This is a cherished occasion where we come together as a school community to celebrate the bounty of the harvest and reflect on the importance of gratitude and sharing.

Our pupils are working hard to prepare songs, poems, and readings that capture the spirit of autumn and thanks. It's always a wonderfully heartwarming event, and we would be thrilled for you to join us.

Date: Friday, 10th October Time: 9:15 AM

We look forward to welcoming you for a morning of celebration and community spirit.

We will be collecting for the local foodbank throughout the week, please send any donations in with the children.
