Nursery and Reception enjoyed sharing songs, poems and stories with their mums to celebrate Mother’s Day. They were then given a flower the class had grown and cared for, with a love heart and a copy of the poem they have learnt.
A lot of our families have been celebrating Eid, and on Friday we were very grateful to one of our members of staff – Mrs Shaikh, who delivered an informative assembly to our older classes around the traditions of celebrating Eid.
Thank you and well done to Year 1, who produced a wonderful and thoughtful mother’s day assembly! They children thanked their mums for everything they do for them and also thanked our Mother Mary, who was there for Jesus at such a difficult time in his life.
Thank you for all the families that came and supported their children today!
Here are the children that received praise for demonstrating the values of being attentive and discerning!
Yesterday, Year 3 and 4 went to Walsall Art Gallery as part of their ongoing work for their art project. They saw an artist called Grace Emily Manning, who was displaying her work. They looked at the different pieces of art in the gallery and then had a workshop. The children then participated in a workshop where they made a sculpture out of plaster cast.
Year 2 were visited by the Little Makers team from the Black Country Museum. Following on from our visit a few weeks ago, children were reactivating their knowledge of landscapes. They created a background with watercolours, a midground using paper prints into a collage of buildings and added foreground detail using charcoal pencils. The children produced some excellent landscape artwork.
Children in EYFS have been learning about road safety, using Street Feet resources that are on loan from Wolverhampton City Council. They have practised crossing the road safely as pedestrians, pretended to be vehicles travelling on the road and learned a song called Stop, Look, Listen, Think to help them remember what to do when they are out and about.
Below there are links to some parent resources and to the song.
It is Year 5’s Class Saint day and today as in a liturgy, they reflected on the life of Saint Oscar Romero and heard how he knew that his actions could cost him his life but continued to advocate for those who were oppressed anyway. The reading came from the Gospel of Saint Luke (6 17:23), with a key focus being on Jesus’ words:
“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.”
The children reflected on the Gospel and then spent some time creating their own versions of a Romero cross.
Year 2 shared their learning about Forgiveness during this time of Lent and shared the Parable of the Lost Sheep. We responded by creating drawing prayers as the children love to draw. Our go forth message is ‘Jesus is the shepherd, we are his sheep.’
Thank you to all parents who attended and a special well done to the children who participated in planning and delivering the liturgy.
