A massive thanks to all children and families for their donations for our Number Day. We managed to raise £42.13, which is an increase on last years total. We have had a certificate of thanks, which is now displayed in our school office.

 

Last night, eight of our Year 5 children participated in a ‘Quicksticks’ Hockey festival at Aldersley Leisure Village.

The children were split into two teams and competed in games against other schools around Wolverhampton. Our ‘A’ team, played three games winning 3-0, losing 4-1 and then winning their final game 1-0. There were some great performances – including the top goal scorer for the team – Kacper.

Our ‘B’ team competed in 4 games and were unlucky to lose their first two games 2-0. However, they improved in the last two games, losing 1-0 and then 3-1 in their final game – despite deservedly scoring their first goal by Madison.

The children all improved with every game, thoroughly enjoyed themselves and showed great sportsmanship – which is all you can ask for.

Thank you to all the parents that came to support their children representing our school.

Today we welcomed many parents and carers into early years to make pancakes with their children. They were able to choose a healthy fruit topping, and the pancakes were then devoured by the children with great enthusiasm. Parents commented “thank you so much for inviting us to join in with this today, we have really enjoyed it.”

A wonderful community event !  Thank you to our Early Years leader – Mrs Murphy – for organising.

Last Thursday, some of our year 1 and 2 children were selected to represent the school in a Multi-skills event. They were split into teams of boys and girls and had to complete a number of different activities that would test their balance, coordination, speed and agility.

The children did extremely well and finished with a combined score of 1023 points! Each child received a certificate, which was presented during praise assembly.

Congratulations to our Confirmandi, who on Tuesday last week, were confirmed at St Michael’s Church by Bishop McGough. The children looked very smart and were supported by their families and staff from the school.

Many thanks to Miss Higgins, who helped prepare the children for their confirmation.

The children had a great nights sleep and were up early this morning to pack their bags and strip their beds before breakfast.

After breakfast, the children made the beds ready for the new school and are currently on a farm walk. Once back, the children will have lunch and then get ready to return to school.

The children have had a fully packed day and are now settling into their beds ready to go to sleep.

After having lunch earlier, the children then went and experienced what it was like to be in an Anderson Shelter during the war. They found this very interesting and were able to show off their knowledge of World War 2. Following that, the children then went on a material trail around the local environment – demonstrating their knowledge of different materials and their properties.

The children were then very excited to get the opportunity to feed the sheep (very hungry sheep).

We then all came back inside after a play and the children had their lunches, that their parents had kindly packed for them. Then, after tidying up and setting up for Breakfast tomorrow, the children went into the playroom and played in the soft play area, dressed up, drew pictures, played instruments and read books.

We were then joined by the staff joining us overnight. Mr Morgan opened up the shop and the children were able to spend their money buying gifts.

Finally, the children enjoyed a hot chocolate and a biscuit, had a wash and brushed their teeth ready for a bed time story, excited for their day tomorrow.
