Our KS2 Play Leaders have noticed a skipping craze recently. So they have set up a time challenge skipping zone to encourage more pupils to get involved. Who will beat the record by the end of the week? 
Click here (Netball talent) for a copy of the flyer sent to parents of our Tuesday Netball squad. We are encouraging these talented young players to get involved outside of school too- grow your talent, ASPIRE & ACHIEVE!
Please contact Mrs Dehal or Mrs McHale if you wish to discuss any of these local teams further – we can help if needed.
Year 1 have been learning about seasonal changes from spring to summer in science. They wanted to find out if the wind always blows from the same direction so they made windsocks and have started to observe and record.
Wolves foundation helped us understand our personal responsibility and how to apply modern British values to be model citizens in our city. We are very proud of our Y3 competition winner and he is delighted with his Wolves Goodie Bag!
Year 3 have spent time with chickens, sheep and tortoises; climbed trees and finally had lots of fun in the great play hall before another story of The Christmasaurus with cocoa before bed. “I love it here” one of them told Mrs McHale. A truly wonderful residential trip!
Wow, our chicks are changing rapidly as they mature into hens and cockerels. The egg tooth will soon disappear and tail feathers will grow. What other changes can you see? What do they need to stay healthy?
Science week has started with lots of knowledge and vocabulary. Ask your child to tell you about a new scientific word they have learned today. (Hints- ‘eggsperiment’, NASA, chimpanzees, DNA).

Students took part in Children’s Mental Health Week by undertaking activities throughout the week.
This year’s theme is ‘Let’s Connect’. Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections for all, during Children’s Mental Health Week – and beyond. People thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing.
When we have healthy connections – to family, friends and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health.
For Children’s Mental Health Week 2023, we’re encouraging people to connect with others in healthy, rewarding and meaningful ways.
Throughout the week, students looked at Mindfulness techniques and created artwork which connected together to create a whole school piece of art. The school council held a cupcake sale to raise money for CAFOD to make connections to those less fortunate. On Friday pupils enjoyed yoga sessions, learning strategies to stay calm and raise awareness for looking after their body and mind.
