One of our students was lucky enough to meet HRH Prince Edward this morning. The Duke of Edinburgh had visited the Beatsabar Music Project this morning in Wolverhampton, which our pupil had attended in the holidays! What a wonderful experience!
Yesterday, the first ever World Daily Mile Day is took place on Thursday 27th April 2023. The Daily Mile is a simple, yet effective initiative where children run, jog, wheel, or toddle for just 15 minutes a day.
Hundreds of early years settings from around the world too part – including our own! Nursery completed 5 laps of the school field!
Here is Reception after they completed the Daily Mile 10th Anniversary challenge.
Our Year 3 and 4 pupils went to Our Lady and St Chad’s last night to compete in a Tri Golf competition and I am very happy to say that we won! The children had to demonstrate different skills around accuracy and technique, with them earning points for how well they performed.
Report by Year 3 Pupils:
Bus/Group!
The coach picked us up at 8:45 and the trip was really really good because my friends were sitting next to me. The driver kindly drove us to Alton Castle and back to school. The coach was really modern because there were LED lights, a mini skink and even a bathroom. There was a table and a foot rest. We had the same coach and driver coming back. Once we arrived, we got split into 2 groups. We had Mrs Moorst and Mrs Bhatti and Flix. The other group had Mrs Byrne and Lucas. (Shantelle)
Treasure Hunt!
In the treasure hunt we had picture clues on sheets. We had find symbols. All the symbols were based on Mass and the Holy Communion like: the cross, the Bible and a cup with the Blood of Christ. (Filip)
Meditation
We were lying on our backs while one of our instructors Flix or Lucas read a Scripture from the Bible. They read The Last Supper. We wrote or drew about our selves then put it in our bags if we were going to Holy Communion.
We put our fingers in ink and everyone put their finger-prints on a cross. (Kornelia)
Nightline
In the night line we had to put a blindfold over our eyes after we had walked into the forest. We had to hold a rope without left hand and we had to do an assault course and it was really long. To do this we needed to trust each other and to tell our friends what they had to do next. This taught us to communicate with each other in life. (Gerard)
Team building
After Meditation, we split into two groups and started our team building games. The first one was with pipes we had to connect them and the balls reach the bucket without falling.
The second was the caterpillar race, where you had to get inside an orange, plastic band and whoever went the fastest crossed the finish line and won.
The last one was to pull a string and balance it all the way to the otherside without dropping a ball. (Michelle)
Yesterday, ten of our Year 5 and 6 children represented the school in a Tag Rugby Event and Wolverhampton Rugby Club. They performed so well and received many compliments from other teams and parents from other schools around our play and defending. Mr Morgan was extremely proud of them all, especially with their respectful and sporting attitudes.
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.
