Yesterday, our Year 4 and 5 children went on a wonderful visit to Chester Zoo. Splitting off into different groups, the children explored the zoo and learned about all the extraordinary different animals we have in our world.
The children saw gibbons playing, lions fighting and even a tarantula shedding it’s skin!!! Remember to ask your children about their visit and look out for their work to do with what they learned at Chester Zoo.
This week, children from Year 2 took part in a Multi-skills festival where a range of skills were put to the test. They cheered each other on, while completing tasks involving throwing and catching, balancing and speed. The children should be very pleased with their performance and congratulated when you see them around school.
Last week, we had a whole school Times Table Rockstars Battle!
Congratulations to our Year 4 class, who achieved the most points! These were the final results…
Mohamad in Year 4 was our top rocker scoring an incredible 22,256 points! He was rewarded with a £10 Amazon voucher!
The top boy and girl in each class also received a little prize for their hard work!

Today, we had a visit from Chris Harper from Severn Trent Water. He held assemblies with our Year 2, 3 4 and 5 classes to explain more about the history of water and how the water cycle works. This included some volunteers from our classes representing different periods of history including the Egyptians and the Victorians.

Today in school started a week long battle between all years groups on Times Table Rockstars! After the first day – Year 4 are leading the way, but it’s close!
Keep encouraging your children to sign on and play to win points for themselves and their year groups! Prizes are available! If you need your login, message your class teacher!
Yesterday it was World Religion Day! Following on from our assembly from Miss Higgins on Friday – where we celebrated and found out about all the religions in our school – we asked children to send in pictures celebrating their religion on World Religion Day yesterday!
We are very proud to announce that before Christmas, our Choir raised £85 singing hymns at the market in Wolverhampton City Centre. This money was then exchanged for Just Eat vouchers and was donated to the critical care unit at New Cross Hospital to thank them for the amazing work they have been doing.
We were very proud to receive a letter of thanks from the Matron – Gerardine Hardesty – praising our children for their fantastic efforts.
Today we officially said goodbye to Mrs Harris, who has given so much of her life to our school to help and support out children at lunchtimes. She is going to enjoy her retirement with some flowers and gifts from staff to say thank you for all her time she has given.
Thank you Mrs Harris for everything you have done 🙂
Yesterday afternoon, our children enjoyed their Christmas experience of ‘Twas the night before Christmas’. Our children all received their secret packages (thank you families) and got changed into their pyjamas as their teachers unwrapped a special present that had been left for them. They then listened intently to the story of ‘Twas the night before Christmas before listening to a special message from St Nicholas himself!
Each class then did a range of activites all focussed around the story; artisitc pictures, music, stocking decorating just to name a few! What a magical afternoon had by all…. and to all a goodnight…
