This morning, our Penguins Class delighted the whole school community with a vibrant and uplifting music assembly showcasing all they have learned throughout the year in their music lessons.
The children performed a wonderful selection of songs and flute pieces from their class music sessions, demonstrating not only their growing musical skills but also their confidence and teamwork. Their hard work and enthusiasm were clear in every performance.
We were also treated to impressive solo and small‑group items from pupils who take additional music tuition. These included guitar, flute, clarinet and a lovely piano/keyboard performance, each one showing dedication, perseverance and real musical talent.
Parents, children and staff all thoroughly enjoyed the assembly, and the hall was filled with smiles throughout. A highlight of the morning was when everyone joined in with a lively rendition of “Golden” by K‑pop Demon Hunters, which created a fantastic atmosphere and left the younger children in school buzzing to be part of it all.
A huge well done to all our performers and a big thank you to our music teachers for their support and inspiration. What a wonderful way to start the day!
Owls put in an electric performance during their recent science lessons.
This week, Robins Class have been soaring with excitement as we took part in the RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch, a nationwide project that invites pupils across the UK to observe and record the birds visiting their school grounds.
This term, our Year 5 and 6 children have been exploring one of the most important systems in the human body: the circulatory system.
The circulatory system is the body's transport network. It moves oxygen, nutrients, and water around the body and carries waste products away. The system is made up of: The heart, Blood vessels and Blood. To help support pupils’ understanding Penguins completed a practical where they became the system. Pupils have been discovering how the heart works as a powerful, four‑chambered pump focusing on, how the heart sends oxygen‑rich blood around the body, how it returns oxygen‑poor blood to the lungs and how heart rate changes during exercise.
This past week, our younger learners have been absolutely thrilled by the snowy weather!
On Tuesday, our children enjoyed a fantastic visit to the Tamworth Assembly Rooms to watch the classic pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk – oh yes they did!
The performance was full of laughter, excitement, and plenty of audience participation. The children shouted, cheered, and joined in with the actors throughout the show, making it a truly interactive experience.
As well as having lots of fun, the trip gave the children a chance to learn about the wonderful British tradition of pantomimes – a unique blend of comedy, music, and storytelling that has delighted audiences for generations. Mr Robson got a starring role and had to stand up and do a silly wiggle many times throughout the show which children and staff all enjoyed thoroughly!
It was a memorable day that brought smiles to everyone’s faces and created lasting memories.
Look out for the buildings of the future!
