We’re really pleased to share that our Year 3 and Year 4 children recently took part in the Bikeability course in Wolverhampton. Year 3 had a great time in the “Learn to Ride” sessions, building their confidence and getting to grips with the basics, while Year 4 completed Level 1, practising control, balance and safe riding skills. It was lovely to see how much their confidence grew over the sessions and how much they enjoyed it too!

Year 6 had an afternoon of exploring a heart. They observed what it looked like to begin with before getting their hands on it and dissecting it! By dissecting it, this helped them to observe the different components and then they discussed the features of these using fantastic scientific vocabulary. Well done Year 6!

Reception had a ROARsome time on their trip to Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur world last Friday. We saw huge dinosaurs that we had learnt about in our topic 'Jurrasic Park' and enjoyed looking at them in real life! We saw wallabies, wolves, birds, lemurs, farm animals, reptiles, lots of big cats and of course, the famous capybara Cinnamon!

Year 3 had a fantastic opportunity to work with a drama teacher from Wednesfield Academy. The children worked through a variety of drama exercises to make them aware of the space they occupy and how their body language can convey different meanings for different scenarios. A big focus in this session was about being a good audience! How we listen to performers, how we react and how we give feedback when the performance has finished.

Year 3 had a fantastic afternoon learning traditional dances: the Scottish Reel, the Brazilian Capoeira and the Fijian Meke! We took part in dance tutorials for each dance to learn some specific movements and then worked in pairs to create a short performance piece in the style of one of the dances!

Year 4 had a fantastic time in their recent drama workshop, diving into a range of fun and engaging activities designed to build confidence and communication skills. The session began with a lively challenge as pupils worked together to organise themselves into height order. This encouraged teamwork, observation and communication. They then moved on to partner work, creating mirror images in pairs, which required focus and careful attention to movement. Children also explo

Year 4 enjoyed a wonderful day at the farm, where they challenged themselves, discovered new skills, and connected with the world around them. Many overcame their fears as they met the animals up close, and they learnt just how important healthy soil is in helping our food grow. The visit helped them understand the journey food takes before it reaches our plates, sparking curiosity and thoughtful conversations. To finish the day, each child planted their own sunflower seed —

Our children had a delightful day when the “Farm on Wheels” visited our nursery class! The children got hands-on experience with a variety of farm animals, learning about their names, sounds, and habits. They explored, touched, and interacted with the animals in a safe and friendly environment. The visit sparked curiosity and excitement, teaching the children about farm life, nature, and the importance of caring for animals.

Year 3 have loved taking part in their Wild Tribe sessions this term! We have developed a wide variety of skills such as listening, building a fire, appreciating the outside world and taking time to be still and notice what is around us. A huge thank you to Mrs Roberts for planning and leading this wonderful opportunity…The soggy feet were absolutely worth it!

To start, the children explored the lab, learned about important safety rules, and met a science teacher. They were then sorted into Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw House! The class investigated whether different liquids were acids, alkalis or neutral by testing them carefully. They then made their own homemade indicator and used it to c
