German Exchange<br />
Tuesday 13th <strong>March</strong> we welcomed our German Exchange<br />
On pupils and teachers from Bad Laasphe. There was an excellent<br />
atmosphere as pupils greeted their partners with many older pupils<br />
excited to see their friends from Germany and younger pupils ready<br />
to form new friendships with their new partners. Following this was a<br />
very successful project day where both German and English students<br />
demonstrated fantastic team work, creativity and language skills as<br />
they designed and presented apps that they would like to have to<br />
help with exchanges like ours. It was Natalie Davis, Rosie Reeves,<br />
Elizabeth Edwards and their German partners who showed strength in<br />
all areas throughout the<br />
day and won the overall<br />
prize! In addition, pupils<br />
were then given the<br />
chance to experience<br />
some British history and<br />
culture together with a<br />
trip to Warwick Castle.<br />
Pupils took the time<br />
not only to learn about<br />
the history of Warwick<br />
Castle but used the<br />
day as an opportunity<br />
to form bonds between<br />
themselves and their<br />
partners. It was a fantastic day and all pupils were a credit to their schools. Our German visitors also had<br />
the chance to experience a day in the life of a Wilnecote pupil taking part in various different lessons. At<br />
the weekend our exchange pupils had the chance to experience family life in Britain and see the different<br />
things our country has to offer. As always it was an emotional goodbye for some as we waved our visitors<br />
off on Sunday afternoon.<br />
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff, students and their families who took part in and<br />
supported the exchange this year – it has been greatly appreciated!<br />

Wilnecote Wolves are formed and training has<br />
Wolves on the RunThe begun.<br />
In June, 12 of us are going to be taking on the<br />
challenging 10K Wolf Run course. For many of the<br />
team it will be their first time ever entering an obstacle<br />
course race. It will push most to their physical limits<br />
and it will be a challenge like nothing they have done<br />
before.<br />
To ensure we all finish the course, we have all started<br />
doing varying levels of training. One part of this is a<br />
weekly outdoor session in the school grounds. We<br />
have not let the recent extreme weather conditions<br />
put us off either. A wolf run will go ahead despite the<br />
weather and so the Wilnecote Wolves will train!
