Nursery Woodwork

17th July 2024Mr J Morgan
Nursery children have been learning how to use a hammer and nails safely.
Once they had their safety glasses on they set to work…they used lots of skills to hold the nail safely in one hand, use the hammer with the other hand, then keep hammering until the nail was secure in the wood.
Over two weeks they added more nails, then selected ribbons to thread around the nails.
Through doing this, they have been developing strong arms, hands and wrists, fine motor skills, two channelled attention and learning to use equipment safely!

Nursery Graduation

16th July 2024Mr J Morgan

What a pleasure it was to see our youngest children having their Nursery Graduation this morning. They treated us to some wonderful songs and shared what they have enjoyed this year!

With thanks to our phenomenal Early Years staff who have worked with them this year!

Scheherazade

15th July 2024Mr J Morgan

Our Key Stage 2 performance this year was ‘Scheherazade’ and what a performance it was! Our Year 6 superstars stole the show with some wonderful performances, but were ably supporting by some fantastic singing and dancing from years 3, 4 and 5.

We are PLATINUM!

13th July 2024Mr J Morgan

After 9 years in the making, we are delighted to announce that we have achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award for the 2023/24 academic year.

The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

You can only go for the Platinum award after being Gold for 4 years and even then you have to present a case study on a chosen area to be judged on whether you have hit the criteria needed. We are extremely proud to be one of only 5 Platinum primary schools in Wolverhampton – what an incredible achievement!

Black Country Games – Tag Rugby

11th July 2024Mr J Morgan

Today, we were so proud to have represented Wolverhampton in the Black Country Games for Tag Rugby. Our first time attending and the children were phenomenal.

They narrowly lost their first three games 4-3 (including to the eventual finalists) before winning 6-4 and 5-1 in their last two games. Every child contributed with tries and their respect and attitude was superb – and commented on by the rugby club. Well done!
