Both parents and children from Year 5 and 6 were invited to an online safety session with Patrick Flynn yesterday which was tailored to our school specifically, based on the results from the survey that the children took part in. Thank you to parents for attending the session as we know how informative this was and how it will help you to keep our children safe online.

For Year 6's current topic, 'Wars of the World' they have been looking at both World War One and World War Two. In small groups they chose one of the wars to research into further, focusing on a specific area such as: women's roles during the war, evacuation, weaponry, rationing etc. Their presentations were very informative and they did a fantastic job using the software sway to make them look professional. Well done Year 6!

Year One enjoyed a walk around the local area of Moathouse Estate. Using a map to follow their route, the children identified a range of human and physical features along the way. They explored different signs, street names, and landmarks, developing their understanding of how maps connect to real places. It was a great opportunity for the children to practise their geographical skills and learn more about their community.

As part of year 2's new theme 'Land Ahoy', they took part in an inspiration day. We started the day designing an eye patch and finding out our Pirate names. The children practised these and shared with the class using a pirate voice. They designed and followed instructions to make a pirate hat. They then had the chance to investigate ships and boats before working as a team to design and create their own boat. They then launched it to see if it could float - all designs were

Ros from Wolverhampton Crossing Patrol came into school to visit year 2.  She showed us her uniform and explained the importance of it in keeping herself and us safe. She also explained the importance of  her lollipop stick to stop the traffic. We recapped our previous learning about the Green Cross Code and practised crossing the road safely with a trusted adult. We then sang a song about how to cross the road safely which they remembered really well from year 1. Stop! Look!

What a fantastic turn out for our first afterschool Dance club sessions. All the children, ranging from Reception all the way through to Year 6, have enjoyed expressing themselves through dance and beginning to learn a routine to the infectious song 'Golden'. The club is being run by Spotlight Dance Company who have already been impressed with the enthusiasm and confidence of the children so far. We have also had many heads pop up at the door after hearing the infectious soun

Year 5 have launched into our new English unit with real excitement as we explore the classic poem The Highwayman  by Alfred Noyes. We kicked things off by investigating a mysterious classroom “crime scene” and making  predictions about what might have happened. The children have performed powerful lines of the poem aloud, created freeze‑frames to bring key moments to life, and begun digging into rich vocabulary to unlock the poem’s deeper meaning. A great start Year 5!

Year One have enjoyed learning all about how to cross the road safely. Ros, the ‘School Crossing Patrol’ lady, taught use how to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN and how to find a safe place to cross. We learned through fun role play and she even taught us a song to help us to remember exactly how to stay safe when we are crossing the street! What a fun morning full of learning!

Reception took full advantage of the winter weather today and took their learning outside to explore the snow and ice. We did a winter scavenger hunt to create winter trays and poured water on them to see how they will change overnight. Lots of happy/ cold faces today!

Together they raised lots of money which will be used to support the local community. A massive thank you to families that popped out to say hello and also for their generous donations!

Reception shone during their nativity performance - 'A Boogie Woogie Nativity'. Children across school and families that came to watch, absolutely loved the performance. Well done Reception, you were amazing!

Staff and children all joined together to hold an incredible assembly to celebrate Mr Grayson's retirement! HI HO Mr Grayson! Thank you for everything!
