Before half term, we were very lucky to have Anna Price, the Wolves Women Captain, visit our school to present our girl’s football team with their new kit that was a result of the Recomony and Wolves Foundation project we have been part of.

She answered the girl’s questions and shared her own experience of girl’s football. She was a wonderful role model and someone the girl’s can look up to considering she was brought up in the local area.

Yesterday, we welcomed the community into school for our Eid Celebrations. Parents kindly brought food donations for the community to taste and share, games were played, some people had henna tattoos and a lot of fun had by all. Thanks to Mrs Murphy for organising this wonderful event and for all the parents who came into school.

Yesterday, the majority of our year 4 pupils took part in their first session of Rackets Cubed at Newbridge Lawn Tennis and Squash Club. Rackets Cubed is a UK charity that delivers integrated STEM education, racket sports and nutrition programmes to improve the lives of children from underserved areas. We are currently taking part in a 5 week pilot scheme, where the children are given a maths lesson, a squash lesson and provided a hot meal!

Today, Jane Coleman from Wolverhampton Library Services officially opened our SSPP Reading Shed.  The children were excited, and will start using our outdoor resource so they can ‘read for pleasure’ during their playtimes and lunchtimes.

This week, children across all years have been learning about Ramadan. As part of their learning about Ramadan, Year 1 made dried fruit balls. Dried fruit and seeds are often eaten during Ramadan as a way of boosting energy without eating a large meal.

Some of our Year 6 children led an assembly this morning to the rest of the school and parents on Ramadan and their faith. They did a wonderful job and answered questions very informatively. Here is the presentation that they created:

Over the next few weeks, our local PCSO, Trudi Brittle, will be visiting all our classes. Today, she visited Year 6 to discuss anti-social behaviour.

Today, our Year 4 class had an educational visit from Tettenhall Fire Service. They were given tips on how to be safe at home in case of the fire. This included Stop, Drop and Roll incase they were on fire!

Today, we continued to take part in the St. Peter’s Activity Project, trying to create more opportunities for our children to be active in the local area. From the previous workshop, the top activities our children wanted to look into were: Football, playing with friends, Gymnastics, Ice-Skating and Dance!
