Year 6 were very excited to see this week’s VIP reader reveal themselves to be our very own Mrs Hands! Thank you for coming back to us and sharing your Year 6 classic, Alfonso Bonzo! We love and miss you x
On Wednesday we were visited by Dr Robyn, Dr Rosie, Dr Emma, Dr Stephen and Dr Luke from the University of Warwick and UHCW. We had the most wonderful afternoon, the children all listened so carefully, joined in and learnt lots of new things about their bodies and looking after themselves.
The children learnt all about healthy eating and making good food choices, wrote pawscriptions for their poorly bears, dressed up in scrubs, gave their teddies a check up, bandaged up their injuries, checked each others heart beats with real stethoscopes and raced around an obstacle course to see how it changed their heart rate.

What a wonderful term and a fantastic year!
We’ve had an amazing last week with our highlight – the wedding! The children were beautifully dressed and we had a fantastic celebration after a lovely ceremony. The beautiful bride was given away by a very proud father of the bride. The best man did a great job of looking after the ring. The bridesmaids looked lovely with their bouquets. The priest was very reverent and after walking out to the wedding march, the party began!
Myself and Mrs McCloskey are so very proud of all of the children and how much they have grown, progressed and achieved. They have grown their wings and are ready to fly into Reception – wherever they go.
We thank all our parents for all your support all year and thank you for all the kind words, cards and gifts (though not needed!)
We wish all our children well whichever school they move on to and we know that they are ready to take on the world! Well Done Nursery….Keep shining bright!
Reception have had a fabulous day celebrating King Charles. We made crowns, danced outside and shared a picnic. Below are some photos of our day.

We had a very creative morning in Nursery making Lenten crafts and it was lovely to see mums, dads and grandparents come and join in with the fun.
Today we explored the weather. We looked outside and talked about what we could see. Then we made snowy pictures. Afterwards we put on our hat, gloves, coats and wellingtons and went outside to play and build in the snow.

This term in P.E. Year 6 have been learning to play badminton. They’ve learnt how to serve both on the forehand and backhand, how to play defensive overhead clears and how to play attacking smash and drop shots. Today they put all of these skills into use as they played in their very own tournament.

🏸 Group 2 winner – Layla

Today, as a school, we are celebrating ‘Safer Internet Day’, the annual, worldwide celebration of raising awareness of the many benefits and challenges that we face online. We kicked the day off with a whole school assembly, supported by members of the school’s Digital Council, and, throughout the day, children will be continuing to explore the message of ‘Let’s talk about it’ in their classrooms.
The following letter was also emailed out to parents on Friday and contains further information and activities so that this important work can continue at home.
Year 5 really enjoyed their ‘Engineers without Borders’ workshop today in which they explored the importance of electricity, learnt how access to it is not equal, considered the engineers’ role in bringing about access to electricity and the challenges they face and created their own model turbines!
