DPA Harmony 2026

On Thursday afternoon, the whole school took part in DPA’s annual Harmony event for Children’s Mental Health Week. We joined with over 300 schools across the West Midlands to sing and promote wellbeing. This involved singing the ‘Connecting Together’ song along with sign language, as well as some popular classics. We also learnt about the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’.

Good Health Week

                                     

Wow, what a busy week in Reception!

We have had an amazing time, learning all about people who help us, our emotions, how to cross the road safely, Pantosaurus, water safety, online safety and how to keep our teeth sparkling clean.  Then at the end of the week the children had their personal development time where they participated in an activity of their choosing. Thank you so much to our wonderful visitors who help make this week so memorable for our little learners.  Take a look at a few photos to see what we’ve been up to.

The Toy Museum

This week , Reception children have been learning about what toys from the past were like.  They had a fabulous time playing with lots of them.  They noticed that many of the toys were made from wood.  After a lot of fun and discussion they decided that they still prefer their own toys.

Respect Core Christian Value

This week in assembly, Mrs Mason talked about how we can be kind and respectful to ourselves.  In class, Reception thought about respecting themselves, others and the environment. They popped their ideas in a magic watering can and made a respect flower grow!  They enjoyed making beautiful respect badges to show their grown ups.

Wellbeing Buddies

Our wellbeing buddies have had their final meeting of the year and have decided on a new focus for the next term which is ‘giving’.  We reflected on our successes from this term and have made some great suggestions for next term.  Well done, Buddies!
Also in the new term, our wellbeing buddies will be working with our new educational mental health practitioner, Hayley, for some training in their important role.  We will introduce Hayley officially to all children and parents in the new term – exciting times!

A Wriggly Nativity

Our Reception children have performed their nativity show for their special grown ups.  They have made their families and teachers very proud.  Their singing was beautiful, they remembered so many words to tell the story and danced like no-one was watching!  They have certainly got us all in the mood for Christmas.  Well done superstars!

Today was Chalky the Church Mouse’s 5th birthday.  The children have been so busy all week preparing for his birthday party.

We made a to do list:

wrap a present and write a tag

make a birthday card

The children worked hard to get ready for the party and then this afternoon we had a fantastic birthday celebration.  It was heard several times that “THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!”

 

   

 

Chalky is one lucky little mouse to have such amazing Ascension friends!

Conkers, Colours and Crispy Leaves

We took advantage of the lovely weather on Wednesday, to go on an autumn leaf hunt. The children enjoyed exploring the school environment and were excited to find lots of different coloured leaves.

We tore up small pieces of the leaves we found and stuck them onto a ‘sticky leaf template’. They looked wonderful when we held them up to the light!
