We had lots of fun putting our skills into practice to play mini basketball games. We even had a go at shooting the ball into the big hoop.

We wanted to explore how stems work so we put a piece of celery and a white rose in water with red food colouring. After a few days you could see specks of red on the top of the celery and the tips of the rose petals.

Our parents came to our First Holy Communion workshop to join in with our learning! We read from scripture & enjoyed making some FHC crafts!

We continued our journey to First Holy Communion with a wonderful retreat day with Dan Callow. We learnt new songs and had time for quiet reflection about the Holy Eucharist.

After a short but busy half term, we enjoyed an ice-lolly & a film! 😁❤️

In Science we planted four plants and left them in different conditions - all conditions, light but no water, no light but water and no light or water. Over a couple of weeks we observed them to see which plant grew the best.

We are really enjoying developing our basketball skills.

We had our lunch in Birmingham Library, had a mooch around the children's section and even went up the massive escalators to the roof garden which was very high!

We had a wonderful time exploring Singers Hill Synagogue as part of our investigations into Judaism during Multicultural Week

We loved spending the day in our pyjamas raising money for the Book Trust! We spent some time reading outside too! 📚😁

We explored the story of the Prodigal Son through drama & hot-seating ready for our writing activity on Monday. What wonderful actors we have! 🤗🎭🎬

To celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we found out all about the Spitfire plane and we made out own out of cardboard. We re-enacted a WW2 dogfight with our planes!
