Here are our children that have been nominated for praise this week.
Yesterday, our Year 5 children took part in a national STEM Challenge – Road to RIAT! They used their skills from a variety of curriculum areas: Maths, Science, English, PSHE and Design Technology to compete in a Glider Challenge and then they had to design a sustainable aircraft for the future!
Yesterday, four of our Year 4 children attended a spelling competition at Wolverhampton Girl’s High School, competing against other schools in Wolverhampton. They did extremely well and should be so proud of themselves!
Yesterday in school, we were acknowledging ‘Red Wednesday’ to support Aid to the Church in Need. Children participated in their own class assemblies and liturgies #RedWednesday2022.
Today, our Confirmandi children had the opportunity to go to St Michael’s Church. We celebrated this special retreat day there with other schools in our academy. This opportunity meant the children could learn more about the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Today, there was a launch assembly for the children to apply to become Mini Vinnies with guest speaker, Mary Rooke.
Mini Vinnies are 7 to 11 year olds based in schools and parishes across England and Wales, and in several other countries across the world. They come together to form a part of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in England and Wales, a voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms.
Mini Vinnies meet to pray, discuss and support however they can to help make a difference in their communities.
The children were encouraged to apply to become a Mini Vinnie and they will meet regularly to discuss projects they want to become involved in to make our school, community and world a better place.On Friday, we welcomed our school community in to watch our Year 2 Class Assembly on Anti-Bullying! The children gave out an important message of ‘Reach out’ if you need help and ‘count on me’ if you are a friend to someone!
Well done Year 2!
On Friday morning, our Early Years Team invited our school community in to participate in sharing activities and rhymes with our families. A really wonderful morning was had by all!
Here are our children that have been nominated for praise this week.
On Wednesday, in partnership with Wolverhampton Wanderers Foundation and the PDC, were invited to Aldersley Leisure Village to take part in a maths workshop with darts. The children got to meet professional darts player ‘Alan Souter’ (who has just qualified for the quarter finals in his debut Grand Slam), meet Wolfie, and learn maths in a varitey of ways while learning how to play darts!
A truly wonderful experience, the children will not forget!
