When children are healthy, happy and safe, curiosity is ignited and learning is optimised. In this section, you will find out what children in school and nursery have been learning this week.
The Reception class braved the weather this week and had a lovely day at the Exotic Zoo. We saw lots of animals from different areas of the world, and it was a great start to our topic 'Amazing safari'.
Year 4 had the most amazing time at Wolverhampton Grand theatre watching ''The Boy at the Back of the Class". The children were engrossed in the story and their behaviour was exemplary.
Y5 recently wrote some persuasive letters about plastic waste to various snack companies and local MPs. We were delighted to receive a response from the MP for South Shropshire, Mr Philip Dunne. 
Children in nursery are settling back in really well after the Easter break, our new friends are enjoying some super activities!
Year 6 have been recalling their knowledge on 3D shapes and nets.
In pairs they first revised the properties of different 3D shapes and then used their notes to help them make an accurate 3D net.
Here are some of their creations!
Y5 have had a great week learning about Wartime posters. We designed our own persuasive posters encouraging people to join in with the war effort.
Year one are learning about portraiture in Art this term. This week we have been learning about different artists who paint self-portraits and we have used mirrors and sketching techniques to draw our own self portraits. Here are some examples of our fantastic work! 
Now that the vegetable patch has been dug over and tidied up, we are looking forward to getting some planting done 
.
The children are hoping to plant vegetables, fruit, and some flowers to keep the bees and other insects happy.
We have sown some seeds last half-term, and they are growing well. If you have spare plants that you would be willing to donate to school, we would be very grateful. Plants can be either sent into class with children or taken to the office.

The Reception class have been investigating parts of a flowering plant. We dissected different flowers and used magnifying glasses to get a closer look. We then created our own flowers using collage materials.
Y5 have enjoyed British Science Week in school. We joined a live science talk, worked in groups in a Lego workshop and investigated time and forces with pendulums! 
Children in Nursery had a lovely day learning all about St Patrick's Day. They joined in making some fantastic leprechaun masks and showed them to lots of teachers and children in school! Well done children 
Year 6 Lego workshop for British Science week!
Each team built something from a different period in time. They worked so well together and their creativity is outstanding!
