Young Voices

Thursday 22nd February was one of the highlights of the school calendar as we took part in Young Voices 2024. This year, we took a choir of 27 children to the Genting Arena. They had been practicing hard for weeks before and all of them were amazing as they were part of the largest children’s choir in the world. They sang with 5300 children from several other schools. We were so proud of them all! Thanks to Mrs Harper-Jones for preparing and taking the choir and Mrs Colin-Stokes and Mrs Wade for accompanying the children too.

Never giving up on trying to achieve your goals. Putting in 100% even at difficult times and being the very best they can be.

On Wednesday, Red class started their swimming sessions which went well. They were all very excited and had a good first session.

The choir have spent months rehearsing for Young Voices. On Thursday, the day finally arrived and 27 excited children went to the Genting Arena to do one last afternoon rehearsal before performing to family and friends in the evening. They were part of a larger choir of 5,300 children and the air was electric! More pictures to follow!

This week, we have been taking part in ‘Children’s Mental Health week’. The week started with an assembly introducing the theme ‘My Voice Matters’. Children have been thinking about their proud moments and ways to make a difference. It was great to see so many take part in ‘Dress to Express’. The link has tip for parents if this is something you would like to access at home.

On Tuesday, it was Safer Internet day and children are always reminded of the key messages for staying safe online. This link has ideas for parents too.

On Wednesday afternoon, eight girls took part in a football competition. The team worked together well and came up with some good results winning 2 matches and losing 1. This saw them into the quarterfinals where they came up against a strong team. Unfortunately, losing 1-0 in the last minute they didn’t progress any further.
The girls played with great respect, determination, and passion well done to; Nancy, Eva, Cora, Nevaeh, Darcey, Willow, Esme S and Sabrina (goalkeeper who made some amazing saves). Thank you Mrs Richardson.
Year 4 welcomed some of their families in to have lunch. They enjoyed one of Becky and Ruth’s delicious roast dinners.

On Wednesday, we had a final assembly for Mrs Bernasconi. She has been at Claverley for nearly nine years and in that time has done a lot to support the children in many ways. She was presented with gifts from the staff, Governors and PTA and she was very grateful for all the good wishes from the children too.

On Thursday, Yellow and Green took part in a Lunar New Year activity afternoon.

PTA – thank you for all the funding raised. The children were desperate for goals for the field. We have one set of large and one set of medium goals.

Finally, here are this week’s Super Stars!

Wishing all our families a lovely half-term!

This week has flown by with lots of learning taking place. Green class did some very interactive RE and practical maths.

Red class have been inspired by the Bookfest and children are loving the selection of books they are reading.

On Wednesday afternoon, two teams from Blue class took part in a Dodgeball competition. Both teams played very well in their pool matches putting them through to the quarterfinals. Everyone played with great determination and honesty. Unfortunately, neither team made it to the semi-finals, but to come in the top 8 out of 20 teams was very commendable. Well done to Jaxon, Jovan, Mark, Freya, Cora, Nevaeh, Orlando, Jayden, Henry, Eliza, India and Nancy. Thank you to Mrs Richardson and Mrs Wade for taking them.

Thank you to the PTA for the Krispy Kreme sale which was very popular!

We have celebrated all our Super Stars this week – well done to them all.
