Head teacher’s update

Well done to all of our children who have been so sensible and helpful on such a wet and windy day!

It has been a very busy week, with children representing the school in football and gymnastics.  As always, the children represented our school brilliantly  – thank you to all of those who took part.

It was a privilege to be invited to lay the wreath at the Wall Heath Cenotaph, on Sunday.  I was so proud to see so many of our children there in their uniforms to participate in the parade.

Staff and pupil feedback to the change to the start of the day arrangements has been positive.  Please ensure that you are still supervising children in reception and years 1 to 4 into the school grounds and to the relevant doors.  The prompt start to school day at 0850 provides very valuable learning time, in the classrooms.  It has provided us with time to practise maths fluency as well as spellings. Your assistance with ensuring that your child is in school on time, is very much appreciated so that they do not miss this valuable learning time.

We look forward to next week, when we have non-uniform day and school discos to look forward to!

 

 

Year 6 Step back in time to discover our ‘green and pleasant land’.

History

In Year 6 we have been thinking about what our local area might have looked like in the 1700s, compared to today.

The children looked at maps to identify the features which have remained in the area to the present day, and how important place names are as a clue to the past.

Collective Worship

Our thanks to Father Chris who led our act of worship, this week. Father Chris taught us a new hymn, which he led us in with his electric guitar.  We then learnt about Joseph, The Dreamer.   We thought about Joseph’s capacity to forgive his brothers and how he was able to show the value of generosity, despite having been treated so badly, by them.  Father Chris asked us to reflect on the story throughout the week, and think about how we can show patience, forgiveness and generosity in our thoughts, words and actions.

Chalky’s Birthday

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

make decorations

make party food

get a birthday cake

get ready for party games

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!
