During the Summer Term, KS1 will get there much needed Adventure Playground installed by HH, KS2 will get their much desired climbing wall and the School Council will get their request granted for another outdoor prayer/quiet area; complete with sail shade!

 

The HSA have donated £1000 for religious images for this space and Mr & Mrs Barrett, parents of McKenzie in Y2, have donated some money for a new crucifix! Thank you for their kind donations! 

Congratulations to our Musical Theatre Group and Mrs. Simpson for their participation in the Dudley Performing Arts festival to celebrate the 100th Anniversary Year of  Roald Dahl held at Dudley Town Hall. Their singing with the massed choir was wonderful and their individual performance of The Three Little Pigs was fantastic. Well done to all of them and their families for supporting this exciting opportunity. 

Thank you to all our children and families for supporting the HSA Silver Smarties fundraiser to support the Puzzle Day held in November.

You raised nearly £600 which is amazing!

The HSA have kindly provided extra funds so that we can purchase the Primary School Super Pack. Children across the school are beginning to use them to  learn through play and develop logical reasoning and thinking skills. Year 6 have been mastering the puzzles and working with Reception class to help them to learn these key skills. We hope that Year 5 will do the same for our Year 1 children. These puzzles are a fantastic resource for all our children and I know they are enjoying using them.

 

Children from Year 5 attended a taster Business Enterprise Challenge organised by Dudley Education Business Partnership. They worked on a business themed challenge, met local business ambassadors and understood more about the world of work, they used transferable skills including communication, teamwork and problem solving.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. They designed and created an amazing building - 'Heavenly Haven' which was a community centre to be used by all.

They were great ambassadors for our school and we are very proud of them.

Y5 girls used their creative talents to make Easter Creations of Miss Costello & Mrs Finnegan! Truly Fab- u- lous! Well done girls.

A huge thank you to all our mums who spent their Mother's Day baking and selling cakes, to raise funds for Mary Stevens Hospice! Over £500 was raised this weekend! Well done to all involved.

 

Thank you again, to all those who did the baking and all those who bought these delicious cakes- yummy! 

This morning, as we begin the third week into our Lenten Journey, Mrs Finnegan held a whole school retreat; reflecting on our journey so far, forgiveness, hope and peace. Children sat in silence for part of the service and sang hymns to reflect on Jesus' journey to the Cross.
