This morning, we enjoyed a lovely Harvest celebration at church. This was also the first time we have taken our KS1 children to church this academic year, and we were incredibly proud of them all. They were sensible, respectful and followed instructions exceptionally well throughout the morning, representing our school beautifully.

We were also delighted to see our Worship Leaders do such a wonderful job leading the service and helping everyone take part in the celebrations. Their confidence and enthusiasm made the occasion extra special.

During our time together, the children learned about the importance of caring for God’s creation. We discussed how we can all play our part by looking after our world, including not littering and reducing food waste. These simple actions help us to show respect and gratitude for the wonderful world God has given us.

Father Jonathan also shared a simple but meaningful reminder with the children. Before eating, he encouraged everyone to pause and say the short prayer, “Thank you God,” as a way of showing gratitude for the food we have and the people who help provide it.

It has been a truly special morning of reflection, celebration and thankfulness. Thank you once again for your generous Harvest donations and for supporting our school community. We are so proud of all the children and the wonderful attitudes they demonstrated throughout the morning.

“Thank you God.” 🍂🌾🙏

The children enjoyed getting creative as they made a variety of wedding-themed crafts inspired by the story. From designing wedding cakes and creating a variety of colourful scarecrows, the classroom was filled with excitement, imagination and teamwork.

Throughout our work on Scarecrow’s Wedding, the children have developed their reading, writing and speaking skills while engaging with a story they have thoroughly enjoyed. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they retold the story, explored the characters and shared their own creative ideas.

We are also delighted that Mrs Mason, has chosen to display some of the children’s wonderful work from this project. The children were incredibly proud to see their achievements being celebrated, and it is a lovely recognition of all their hard work and creativity.

We are so proud of everything the children have achieved during this topic. What a wonderful way to celebrate the end of a memorable learning journey!

Well done, KS1! 🌻💐💒

The KS1 Team

We would like to extend a huge thank you to the Harbach family, who kindly designed, built and donated this amazing resource for our school. The children absolutely love using it and it has already inspired lots of imaginative play, creativity and collaborative learning. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and support.

We are always delighted to see members of our school community sharing their skills and talents to enhance our children’s learning experiences. If any parents or family members have ideas, expertise or resources they would like to contribute to school, we would love to hear from you.

We would also like to say a big well done to our gymnasts this week, who received the Gymnast of the Week medal from Dudley Gymnastics Group. This is an award that will continue to be presented each week, and recipients will have the opportunity to share their achievement during our Friday Praise Assembly.

As a reminder, if your child has received any medals, trophies or certificates from activities outside of school, we would love to celebrate their successes with them. Please bring these into school on a Friday so they can be shared during assembly.

Many thanks,
The KS1 Team
