What a term it has been for our club! Rain, wind and frost – we haven’t let anything stop us reaching our goal!

Just like Strictly we have been dancing our way through the Autumn term learning a range of skills accompanying them to music and developing our creativity. Early Years have been using the ever-popular theme of Super Heros moving in different spaces with a focus on special awareness and moving to different tempos of music. We saw a lot of Spiderman, Hulk and Wonder Woman! Year 1 and Year 2 have been taking inspiration from Fairy tales and Space to create short motifs with cle

Year 2 had a great time visiting Dudley Zoo as an introduction to their Animals including humans unit. They were able to observe a variety of animals they would not normally be able to see in their local area. They saw giraffe's, a tiger, monkey's, snow leopard's, orangutan's and even got up close to some lemurs. The children absolutely loved trying to spot where the animals were hiding in each enclosure. After lunch they were able to explore the castle, see seal lions, pengu

During their Design and Technology afternoon, Year 4 created some fantastic communication devices. After researching how communication tools have evolved over time, they carefully planned their own designs and then brought them to life using recycled materials.

A fantastic afternoon at Aldersley Leisure Villa where Edward the Elder was represented by eight year 4, 5 and 6 children at the Bowls tournament on Wednesday. Our two teams wowed us and others with their great teamwork, timing, patience, and support of one another! We played over 10 games during the day it was jammed packed! Team A came 3rd in their group and Team B came 4th in their group. A great effort all round. We are so proud of our Edwards team! Well done! Mrs Harper

Our Year 3 class had a fantastic experience during their visit from the Science Dome. For an hour, the children were immersed in an exciting, interactive session all about light and sound. As soon as they stepped inside the inflatable dome, the darkened space and curved screen created a sense of wonder and excitement. The presenter was knowledgeable, engaging and brilliant at explaining tricky ideas in a way the children could easily understand. He demonstrated how light trav

Our very first 'Shining Star' - Harsimran from Y4. Harsimran was awarded this for going above and beyond to be a kind friend, especially towards a new member in his class. Any child across school can be a 'Shining Star' for super learning, brilliant behaviour, being a kind friend... the list goes on! We look forward to presenting more books across the coming weeks and months!

Year 1 visited Kingswood Trust Centre for the day to develop their geographical skills as part of their current Dimensions theme ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’. We enjoyed lots of opportunities for map reading and comparing different localities. We completed a ‘peg orienteering’ challenge around the grounds and followed a map through the forest to find our way along an ‘Owl Trail’. We collected natural materials as we walked through the woods and explored the fantastic outdoor mu

Reception took part in Nursery Rhyme week last week and had lots of fun exploring Nursery rhymes which can help to develop early language and literacy skills, numeracy skills, social, physical and emotional skills .

They asked the demonstrators fantastic questions which helped them understand and compare what life was like

Year 6 have had an absolutely amazing day, celebrating Children in Need and raising money for a FANTASTIC charity! They took part in a 25 minute scavenger hunt, where they had to find hidden Pudsey bears around school! Miss Louca had a list of clues which were given 1 by 1 to each group and they worked together as a team to hunt them around school. The children had so much fun doing this and what a great way for them to raise money! Well done Year 6!

In our Year 5 art lessons, we’ve been inspired by our Earth and Space topic to create some truly stunning artwork! We began by painting the Moon and the Sun, before moving on to design and paint our own imaginative planets. Throughout our work, we have been experimenting with different marks, textures, and techniques, as well as mixing colours to create new shades and tones. We explored how to use both watercolour and poster paints, and even added a touch of glitter to make o

What a fantastic day Year 5 have had! As part of our Earth and Space topic, we were completely immersed in a spectacular Science Dome experience. Inside the dome, we explored the wonders of our Solar System — journeying past the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and learning all about the Apollo missions. We also discovered fascinating facts about asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. One of the highlights of the day was getting to touch real rocks from the Moon and Mars — an incredible op
