Today has been the final week of the play leaders course. Children in year 4/5 have been learning how to coach and mentor others and carried out their own games for other groups applying their skills. We can’t wait to see their games in action at break and lunch times.

Wow, what a World Book Day!

We decided on a WBD with a twist this year in the hopes of not only inspiring a love of reading by showcasing different books, but also inspiring us as individuals. Our focus book Salt in his Shoes, based on the life of Michael Jordan, did just that. We unpacked the…

We were lucky enough to have been involved in a fantastic event this week to help promote cooking and healthy eating.  The school food showdown, funded by Tamworth County Council, is based on the Ready Steady Cook format.   Children were chosen at random to represent the red or green team. Recipe…

The children have had a fabulous day learning all about Australia. We have read a story about Koala bears this morning and this afternoon completed some beautiful pieces of Aboriginal Art. A great start to the week - well done Reception!

Class 1 had a lovely time planting the flowers that they have studied in their science lessons. They have added a lovely bit of colour to the outside area. Thank you to the class 3 children for their help too.

Years 1 & 2 have a great time exploring Elford Hall garden. They were identifying plants and trees whilst on the walk. They also spotted lots of trees and discussed whether they were deciduous or evergreen. Great fun and scientific exploring!

We really enjoyed our Chinese New Year lunch today. We explored new tastes and all opened our fortune cookies.

Year 4 and 5 have been contributing and planning activities to become amazing sports leaders. We’ve thought of key aspects of play to make it fun and safe. We are looking forward to testing our ideas out before leading our own activities.

Today we combined our science and DT skills to create our own switches. We were able to use these to control different components. We then evaluated our designs looking for what went well and where we could improve.

Following their surveys in each class, and working with Helen from Phunky foods, our ambassadors have led an assembly to help educate all on how to keep your teeth healthy.

Fantastic work Phunky Foods Team!

Wow!

What a fantastic afternoon at our French cafe!

Class 3 and Madame Stevens set up the perfect spot to enjoy a french snack and drink surrounded by french music and french inspired art work and research. Class 3 had designed their own French menus and encouraged children across all…

Today Class 2 were lucky enough to have Mr Keen come in to talk to them about being an electrician. He really helped us to bring our science and design and technology learning to life. Thank you for giving up your time Mr Keen.
