Here are the children who received praise this week!
Nursery children enjoy outdoor learning every week, whatever the weather!
Welly Wednesday and Forest Friday are firm favourites with the children.
They gather in the outdoor classroom where we begin the session with their rhythm sticks. This week we used them to createĀ the sounds of the rain. Children listened to the sounds and suggested rainĀ is dropping andĀ Ā plippy ploppy, plippy ploppy.
Next they play blend in – can they keep very still and quiet and pretend to be a part of the natural environment?
Last week, they all collected one natural object and talked about its texture.
After some free time to explore, children finish the session back in the outdoor classroom where theyĀ sing their goodbye song.
Today we welcomed the music school for a special performance. They demonstrated how to use instruments such as the violin, viola, oboe, piano, cello and drums to play different styles of music including pop, folk and rock.
Today, we took part in the Primary Molineux Cup. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t the best but this didn’t damped the occasion. Our children did ever so well coming third in our group with some strong performances from Stephanie, Savannah and Monika, who scored a goal in the first match!
Congratulations to our pupils who received the sacrament of First Holy Communion on Saturday evening in a beautiful service on the Feast of Pentecost.
Please keep these children and their families in your prayers.
Today we are acknowledging endangered species day by dressing as animals and donating money to the World Wide Fund for Nature!
Today we were very proud to enter a Year 3/4 team into the annual Tony McGinn festival.
Tony McGinn was a teacher at St Michaelās Catholic Academy (part of our St Francis and St Clare MAC), and was passionate about sport, especially football doing wonderful work in the city of Wolverhampton. Sadly, Tony passed away in June 2021 after a battle against cancer and in remembrance of him, a football festival was set up in his name and we were very proud and honoured to be part of this event.
The children played a round robin event with matches against 9 other teams. The children played brilliantly, with a tremendous attitude that Tony would have been proud of!
Father Alex joined us for a special Eucharistic Adoration in Year 3 this afternoon in the lead up to the celebration of First Holy Communion this weekend.
Thank you to parents able to join us and pupils who lead the readings and prayers.
On Wednesday, the STEM response team from Wolverhampton University came into lead a workshop for our Year 5 children on forces and magnets. This linked in really well with the children’s learning in Science and they loved all the experiments they were able to take part in!
