Archaeology in Mind

14th July 2022Mr J Morgan

This week, our children have been able to experience what it would be like to be an archaeologist! The company ‘Archaeology in Mind’ dug a test pit on our school field and our children have been sieving soil to see what ancient discoveries they could make. We found pieces of pottery and even copper piping that dates back to 1750! If your child has a particular interest in archaeology, there are 3 local archaeology clubs in the West Midlands for children aged 8-16.

Nursery Library Visit

13th July 2022Mr J Morgan

Our nursery children have had some very successful trips to Whitmore Reans Library. They listened to stories about owls, sang nursery rhymes and made Owl hats. They also joined the library and borrowed a book.


Look out for a range of free summer activities and a reading challenge, all taking place at Wolverhampton libraries during the summer. You can find information on the Wolverhampton Libraries Facebook page:

Last week, we had wonderful news! One of our brilliant students was chosen as the winner of the Dear Ma’am letter writing project. Congratulations to Leo in Year 4!

The judges felt that he asked her Majesty some great questions, and were impressed with their knowledge and overall enthusiasm about the Platinum Jubilee.

Their letter will be included in the book being specially produced by GoWrite.

Key Stage 2 Community Games

28th June 2022Mr J Morgan

(Written by Olivia, Y6)

To begin our exciting day, we arrived at the sporting stadium, soaked in rain due to the miserable weather, then moved to a grand hall of which we started our warm-up at. This was essential so we would be able to start our next exercise with an immense amount of energy, boost our mood up and make us confident for the day.

At the end, we were transported outside to start our first session, which was a well-known game called Capture the Flag. Personally, I enjoyed this game greatly! We had a break and moved onto our next game, which was placed in a football court called Guardians of the Galaxy. This included a set of three games, and one was my favourite so far. To brighten up out mood, we than had a spiritual yoga session, which was a really fun yet peaceful event and I loved it.  We ended our day practising Volleyball, which was extremely entertaining and one of my favourites too. I am really grateful that my classmates and i could participate in this and I would love to go again!
