Leaflet Easter Crash Course SH Staff FINAL

H.S.A will be holding their ‘Family Festival’ again on Friday 15th May straight after school until 7pm.

In preparation for this they are looking for anyone who might be a little bit handy and have some time on their hands who could make some items for the games at the fair. If this sounds like something you could help with, please either give your contact details to a member of the H.S.A or at the school office.

We do still have a small stock of our 2026 school calendar which we are now selling at just £1 each! If you would like to buy one so you can have a memento of your child’s self-portrait, please ask at the school office!

On Saturday 4th April, Wall Heath Village People will be holding an Easter Trail that will take place all over the village and include a mini farm at the Horse & Jockey.

They would love for our children to be involved by creating Easter Eggs that can be dotted around the village, fixed to railings etc. as part of the trail. The eggs need to be LARGE (the bigger the better!) and made from cardboard, paper mache or anything that will be sturdy (not just paper) They can be decorated however you would like, the theme for the Easter Trail is Fairy Tales. Please remember to put your name on your egg. We are happy to collect any eggs that you have created in school and deliver them for you.

Mrs Peters and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Summerhill with the girls’ football team.  The team have been participating in a tournament and this week was round 2.  Both games played were very exciting and there was some great skill demonstrated. The end results were a loss and a win meaning that we are through to the finals!  The girls finished the afternoon with an impressive 8 goals! Well done to our girls’ football team.,

Our school council representatives have been helping me to establish the pupils’ views on behaviour in our school.  I am very grateful to the representatives and how sensibly and thoughtfully they have carried out this task. A particular thank you to the year 6 representatives who have supported our younger children to express their views.

This week I met with Wall Heath in Bloom.  Their plans for the village are very exciting and we are happy to be getting involved. Our Eco Committee will be getting actively involved in both school and the local area.

Huge thanks to our HSA who have held our annual sale for Mother’s Day, this afternoon.

One of our favourite visitors to Church of the Ascension, Lindsey Brown, led our assembly, on Monday.  Her clever and skilful use of art, helped us to understand the value of forgiveness.  Lindsey told us the story of creation and temptation.  She then reminded us of the significance of Easter,  and how for Christians it is a time of forgiveness, new beginnings and moving forwards.  Lindsey left us with a wonderful painting to display and remind us of how Christians believe that Jesus came to mend relationships.  Thank you for a thought provoking assembly, Lindsey.

As part of our English unit of work on writing instructions, Year 1 and Year 2 worked together to bake a loaf of bread as a class. The children followed each step of the recipe carefully—measuring, mixing, kneading, and watching the dough rise. After the bread was baked in the oven the children got to sample the bread which everyone enjoyed, with many asking for second helpings!

This practical activity helped the children understand how important clear instructions are, and they will now use this shared experience to inspire their own writing.

Well done to all our brilliant young bakers!
