The animal carers have done a terrific job all year, before and after school in all weathers.  So Spike, the Animal Man visited the team to thank them for their hard work, giving them the opportunity to meet a variety of creatures that they wouldn't usually encounter, which they really enjoyed.

 

Miss Evan is extremely proud of each of them for their dedication and all they have achieved!

 

Over the last two days, the children have taken part in Sports Day races. So many parents/carers attended to support the events so thank you!

Year 1 delivered a wonderful assembly today, where they all shared their dreams of what they would like to be when they are older. Everyone really enjoyed it. Here are just a few of their aspirations.

On Thursday 6^tand Friday 7^tof June, Year 6 were visited by representatives from a variety of professionals, as well as college and university representatives. We were lucky enough to welcome into Year 6 a Premier League official, a doctor, nurse, physiotherapist, musician and a representative from the Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton.  Children had the opportunity to ask lots of interesting questions and experience what these jobs entail – even having a go in some cases! Children also gained an insight into what education looks like at College and University.

Children were so engaged and appreciative of the whole experience over the course of the two days; it is clear to see that we have many children with high aspirations and ambitions.

Go forward and fulfil your dreams – you can do it!

Rubies are celebrating as they achieved the highest number of team points during Spring Term and were able to wear anything red to school for the day if they wished.  

Year 6 had an amazing time at Blists Hill as part of their Victorians topic. They learnt a lot about the ways in which life differed in Victorian times by visiting the stores and houses at the museum, before experiencing a lesson in the Victorian school. We also enjoyed eating chips from the traditional fish and chip shop, shortbread from the bakery and sweets from the confectioner. The children were wonderfully curious and so polite to everyone they met - we were very proud of them!

Today we enjoyed a fantastic assembly, delivered by Beth from Sandwell BEAM, who spoke to the children about the importance of looking after their emotional health. She also introduced the children to the services offered by Sandwell BEAM, which is free to access for all Sandwell residents. For more information, please go to:
