Luckily, CCTV footage captured the culprit: a mysterious figure wearing a hooded cloak, with their face hidden from view. The children used a wide range of adjectives, expanded noun phrases and modifiers to describe the appearance and personality of possible suspects, creating vivid and imaginative de

Year 4 have begun an exciting new art topic based on tie-dye and quilt making. We started by learning about the colour wheel, exploring primary, secondary and tertiary colours and how they are created. The children were also introduced to complementary colours and discussed how different colour combinations can be used to create striking designs. This topic links closely with Science, as we learned about Isaac Newton and his discovery of the colour spectrum, helping the child

Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed delving into the mysterious story of Daniel Holmes, Mr Silver and the incredible “Nowhere Emporium”. Here is what we have achieved so far. We have written some fantastic setting descriptions based on the opening night of the emporium-we have included sensory imagery and figurative language to book and engage our readers. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve next. Maybe we have some future authors in our midst? Watch this space!

On Friday 12th December, our drama club had a fantastic afternoon at Sandwell college. We had front-row seats to a pantomime of Alice in Wonderland, performed by the performing arts students studying there. It was funny, silly and made us laugh out loud! We were amazed at the costumes and very excited to be in a real theatre and loved getting involved in the audience participation parts of the show. We even got to have a photo with Alice at the end!

In School Council's Autumn school survey on technology, pupils expressed an interest in using computers to create art. As a result of this, this week in Year 3, we looked at a character description of the Grinch and had a go at using an online platform called Tate Paint to create a piece of digital art. We enjoyed experimenting with the different brushes and textures available to use and adding the features mentioned in the character description, like the fence that the sneak

Our reading ambassadors confidently stood in front of the whole school and shared the story of The Grinch, setting the perfect tone for our Christmas-themed week starting on Monday. Their enthusiasm and clear reading helped bring the story to life, and we are incredibly proud of the way they represented our school.

How wonderful does our hall look with the Christmas tree sparkling away? Staff have been working so hard to decorate their classroom doors, and they look amazing — from candy cane designs and twinkling Christmas trees to Home Alone –themed doors.

Year 5 have also taken part in an exciting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) workshop that brought together creativity, teamwork and plenty of hands-on learning.

Once the building was complete, the real test began: programming. Using simple coding tools, the children learned how to give their robots precise instructions,

The choir performed brilliantly at the Christmas concert, truly getting into the festive spirit. Mrs. Wise added a special touch by making cupcakes and serving hot chocolate topped with cream, marshmallows, and sprinkles for parents and children to enjoy.
