There was great excitement and some nervousness around the school this week when the animal man visited! We are not used to seeing snakes, tarantulas and skunks (and many more exotic animals) in the school. Mo introduced the children to the animals he rescues and explained all about them. The children were amazing and enjoyed the experience while being able to relate it to their science topics.
Yellow class had a successful trip to Cosford. They were able to link their learning to the visit and had a great time.
On Tuesday afternoon, our rounders team took part in a tournament at Oldbury wells school. After winning 2 match’s and losing 1, they made it through into the quarterfinals. The team played incredibly well in very hot conditions. They displayed some fantastic batting and very accurate fielding. Unfortunately they lost by 2 rounders in the quarterfinals. Thanks to Mrs Richardson for the match report and taking the team with Mrs Preece.
Well done to them all, Jack B, Jack W, Alfie, Lexi, Isabelle, Ellie, Harley, Emma and Lucas.
Well done to our Year 4 for all trying their best in the Times Tables Check this week. They had been really working hard to learn their tables ahead of the check. Year 1 have all taken the Phonics Screening Check this week too. The outcomes of these checks will be reported to parents and Carers after the deadlines for the checks.
Today, Year 6 have been treated to an end of primary school visit to the Pioneer Centre. This is a great opportunity for them to enjoy time together as well as challenging themselves to take part in different activities.
PTA
We are incredibly lucky to have our wonderful PTA of parents who organise many events and all our families for supporting them. The money raised is really benefitting the children. They are funding the first aid training for Blue class on Monday which links to the PSHE curriculum and is a valuable life-skill. The PTA have funded the Year 6 trip to the Pioneer. They have also purchased a new sound system for school which is amazing. The Father’s Day shop was successful this week too. We are so grateful for the work they do (and you support) in order to raise the much needed funds for the children of the school.
