Last week, Year 5 had the exciting opportunity to go to the National Space Centre in Leicester. They explored the amazing Rocket Tower by climbing 244 flights of stairs and investigated the six space-themed galleries. They even watched a show called ‘Astronaut’ in the UK’s largest Planetarium.
On Tuesday 28th November, pupils from Year 2 and 3 attended a Dodgeball Festival at Aldersley Stadium. Pupils from St Teresa’s were led through a number of drills / practices to help them learn the rules of the game, skills and technique. The whole emphasis of the day was to remember – to have fun and to participate as opposed to winning.
Key Stage 2 pupils met Wolverhampton’s local MP Pat McFadden. Pat McFadden spoke about his role as an MP before inviting the children to ask questions. The children asked excellent questions regarding education, hospitals, etc. Pat Mcfadden was so impressed with the pupils at St Teresa’s, he even sent a letter congratulating the pupils on their range of questions.
Our Head Boy and Head Girl attended a special event with Wolverhampton’s Mayor and 18 other schools today. Our Award and charter certificate reflects the work we have done to ensure we stamp out bullying in our school and city using our values of Compassion, Generosity. We are proud to actively stand in solidarity with others and work for the common good.
We were amazed to receive a special letter this week from His Majesty King Charles! Last year’s Year 6 class wrote to him in May, congratulating him on his coronation and shared their wishes for his future reign. They shared their concerns over rising energy and food costs, and their concerns about the environment and Climate Change.
We will be sending a copy to all our previous students later this term.
Well done to the 22-23 Year 6 cohort.
Everyday this week this children will be discussing what bullying is and the different types, including cyber-bullying. They will have the opportunity to role play scenarios, watch a theatre performance and create pieces of work around the important subject. St Teresa’s says STOP to bullying!
Our new play leaders have met with Mrs McHale to discuss how they will carry out their new roles each day to help children develop skills and show equality. Their incredibly active brains and ideas are really going to be effective. We look forward to seeing what new games they will lead and how they will be play a supportive role during play times.

Reporting for duty…our school leaders have been busy sorting new books into class reading hero bags for everyone to enjoy at home. The first children from each class have already taken a reading bag home and delved into all the amazing fiction and non-fiction books.
