Music
“Music is taught very effectively as pupils learn to play instruments and sing to a good standard. Music and singing play a large part in the school’s life. Pupils participate enthusiastically in making music and singing in special events at the school and in the local community. Pupils sing in tune and in harmony using three parts with good tonal quality.” – OFSTED

Sports
Achieving the gold mark for Physical Education since 2018!
“The primary physical education and sport premium is spent very well. Pupils have benefited from access to a wide variety of after-school clubs, competitive events and special activities. As a result, increasingly more pupils participate in a wider range of sports” – OFSTED

A huge thanks to Mr Bridgewater for coming to visit Year 5 this afternoon. As part of our Lent unit, Mr Bridgewater spoke in detail about the Sacrament of Reconciliation and explained how it is a celebration of God’s forgiveness. The children asked some wonderful questions and also discussed how they can truly show they are sorry through their actions. #restm #year5stm

Fun in the sun! Year 1 had a wonderful time yesterday. We took our RE learning outdoors to explore the meaning of a quote from the Bible – (Matthew 18:14 “Let the little children come to me.“ The children reflected on why they are special to Jesus and how He always welcomes them. #year1stm #restm

Zoom to the moon! This week, Year 1 have been working like historians by learning about the famous explorer Neil Armstong. To start, we learned about his early life which led to his career as an astronaut. Our main focus for lesson was the moon landing and we used video sources to learn more. We wanted to experience was it was like for ourselves, so we re-enacted the launch, time in space and the moon landing. We were fascinated with his discoveries and couldn’t believe that they have contributed to technology today.

We have enjoyed working like scientists in Year 1. Over the last few of weeks, we have been making predictions and testing materials for waterproofing and carrying out experiments to discover which objects float and sink. The children used stem sentences to help them to understand and use scientific vocabulary. #year1stm #sciencestm

Thank you to our wonderful Year 1 parents who attended our Year 1 Art Gallery today. The children enjoyed sharing their art work and explaining the skills and techniques they have learned in creating their masterpieces. They spoke clearly and confidently, using subject specific vocabulary about their favourite piece of work. Our parents enjoyed having a go at an observational drawing and left the following feedback about their experience.
“I really enjoyed seeing the art work produced by the children. The methods explained can be taken home so that we can continue to work on and encourage the children’s growth and understanding.“
“The children’s art books are very informative, the girls love art and they both explained the meaning of how they do and understand Art and how the artist thinks.“ #year1stm #artstm #oracystm

✨📚A huge thank you to Staffordshire Libraries for welcoming our Year 6 children this afternoon! They had a brilliant time catching up with Terry and sharing their current favourite books.
Next, they were captivated by an excerpt, read by Terry and a little help from Mrs Ravenscroft, from "The Funny Life of Teachers" and had a good laugh learning about the mysteries of the staffroom!
Terry's wonderful performance of the poem "Sick" had everyone entertained and the children proudly recited their rendition of "A Cautionary Verse" from World Poetry Day.
To top it all off, they explored the bookshelves and chose books to take home and enjoy. What a fantastic visit! Thank you so much, Terry! 📚✨ #readingstm #englishstm #year6stm
