This week, children have been learning about Holy Week as it falls in our holidays this year.
Reception enjoyed learning about the events that took place on Palm Sunday. With Palm leaves that they had made, they retold the story of that day.
Today, our children in Years 1-3 were visited by the Waste Department of Wolverhampton City Council and Rex – their mascot!
They learnt about all the different types of waste and how we can reduce, reuse and recycle items to alleviate waste!
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:
This afternoon, our girl’s football team had their first competitive game against St Andrew’s Primary School. It was an extremely close game that was end to end and played in a wonderful spirit by both teams but with the game at 5-4 and SSPP pushing for an equaliser, St Andrews’s broke and scored a 6th to make the final score 6-4!
A PCSO visited nursery today, and talked to them about how the police help others. They all had a chance to try on a hat or helmet and a jacket.
In Nursery, children have been learning about the importance of oral hygiene; they brought their tooth brushes to school and we all brushed our teeth together.
Reception have been learning about the importance of keeping their teeth clean. They used their own toothbrushes but were given a brand new one and paste at the end of the day.
Year 5 have completed a day of outdoor learning today. They did some cross-curricular science work –
testing out forces when running with parachutes. In maths, they did some measuring of perimeter to calculate a mile so they could complete their daily mile. The class then finished the day with some Irish Dancing for St Patrick’s Day. Well done!
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.
Congratulations to Ala, whose poem and nomination for her mum won the Mother’s Day hamper. Every child that nominated their mum went home with a goody bag. Thanks to Mrs Tudor and our Minnie Vinnies.
