Please find attached our SSPP Superstars for this week!
Through our partnership with Wolves Foundation, we were very grateful to be invited to WV Active to participate in a PDC Bullseye Maths experience. The venue is currently set up for the 2025 Grand Slam of darts, and all the world’s best darts players are currently in our city participating in the event.
Our Year 6 cohort visited to experience how maths is important in darts and how playing darts can support their arithmetic skills. We were very fortunate to be joined by the World no.10 player Josh Rock, who supported and spoke to all of our children.
Last night, children attended a dodgeball event at Our Lady and St Chads Academy and competed against 9 other schools! They performed really well and got better with every match! Well done for displaying honesty and a positive attitude!
Today, we gather in remembering those that have died in the line of duty for us. We will hold a 2-minute silence in remembrance at 11:00 am.
We are delighted to have welcomed Onjali Q. Raúf to Wolverhampton to officially open our incredible amphitheatre. This specially designed space for storytelling, oracy, drama and role play has been an incredible project from start to finish! Simply perfect to have Onjali Q. Raúf meet our Summer Reading Challenge participants in this space to share a story at our official opening!
Yesterday, our Reception parents had an introduction in how to support their child’s reading journey as SSPP and then they worked with their child using our new RWI book bag books and reading for pleasure books.
We were extremely blessed at the end of half term to be visited by the Local Legend – Manny Singh Kang after being invited by our school council.
Manny came into share his stories about his fundraising for Dementia UK, and how his challenges have built up over time, culminating in him receiving a Pride of Britain Award and being invited to Buckingham Palace. Through all his stories, Manny brought it back to that it isn’t him that is receiving the awards – it’s his energy and that we are all the same. We all have legs, lungs and kindness! This demonstration of humbleness was so inspiring for our children.
We surprised Manny with a book of comments about how he has inspired us and also awarded him with a Peter award due to his dedication to serving others. We also sold Samosas after school to raise money for Dementia UK – something that Manny is renowned for doing! We thank him wholeheartedly for visiting our school!
This afternoon, PCSO Trudy visited Year 5 to talk about some serious topics including anti-social behaviour, county lines and knife crimes helping the children to understand the consequences of these actions and how they can affect their own lives as well as those around them.
This morning, the children have got up and dressed, stripped their beds and packed! They then went for breakfast before remaking the beds for the next school ready for some more activities!
