Here are the children who received praise this week!
Years 1-6 took part in Outdoor Day yesterday, they had the opportunities to use their Geographical Field skills.
Year 1 were looking at signs of Autumn and the weather around our school grounds.
Year 2 walked to Clargate Park and looked for Human and Physical features along the way. They also shared their opinions of different parts of the park.
Year 3 walked to the local church and looked for different types of rocks used in buildings.
Year 4 were looking at the path of the River Severn and thinking about the Water journey.
Year 5 walked to St Edmunds and looked at the changes happening in our local community and linked this to our Catholic Social Teaching of Caring for our Common Home.
Year 6 thought about how it can be more sustainable as a school and restarted our recycling in the classrooms. They also linked this to our Catholic Social Teaching of Caring for our Common Home.
Thank you to the Learn Play Foundation who led their first of three sessions for our Year 6 children to support their learning in computing.
The sessions enable the children to think about possible careers in the creative digital industries.These involve using 3D pens, robotics and VR equipment!
Our Year 6 Liturgy Leaders are glad to say thank you for your food bank donations collected before half term.
We were inspired by Blessed Carlo Acutis, our Parish patron Saint, who lived the gospel in active service of those in need.
This food is on the way to meet local need – we thank families for giving thoughtful and generous donations.
We would like to say a huge thank you to Midlands Air Ambulance Charity for visiting us with the learning pod yesterday to enrich our safeguarding and personal development curriculum.
As part of the visit, Year 5 and Year 6 were taught life-saving CPR skills.
Pupils from Nursery to Year 6 have a learned a lot and are more passionate than ever to continue to support the charity after hearing about the call out rate and operation costs. So far we have raised £775.
School Council will meet to consider how we can top this up with another collective effort.
To support our new play leaders in becoming confident communicators and collaborators, we sent them on some training at Wolverhampton Grammar School on Tuesday.
They learnt some new activities that they could bring into school to support our Key Stage 1 children and also helped plan some sessions. To practise, they delivered training their session to children from other schools.
Many thanks to the families that attended our Concept Cat workshops. The development of language and communication is a key focus within our Early Years setting.
Parents and carers enjoyed another Stay and Read session in nursery today.
Today’s story was Baby Goes to Market by Atinuke; we set up our own market stall and children loved counting the food that Baby was given, and then counting again when baby had eaten one of each food.
We tasted Nigerian Chin Chin biscuits, mango, pineapple, plantain chips and coconut, and handled the whole fruits too.
Several of our younger classes have been visiting Wildside over the last few days. They have done some wonderful activities as you can see below:
