  Mothers’ Day Events:    Thank you to all who came to our Mothers’ day morning or afternoon tea on Friday 28^th March - this was a huge success and we know that the children really relished spending quality time with the special ladies in their lives, whilst enjoying tea and cake.

   

  Parents’ Evening: Thank you to those who were able to attend parents’ evenings on Tuesday 25^th and Wednesday 26^th March. If you were unable to see your child’s teacher, please don’t hesitate to request a separate appointment, either via the school office or by speaking to your child’s class teacher.

   

  Year 3 Visit to Albany Theatre: On Tuesday 25^th March, our Year 3 children had a very busy day. They started the day with a visit to the old and new cathedral and even managed a quick stop off to see Dippy the dinosaur at the Herbert Museum. We then visited the Godiva and Peeping Tom statues. At 12 o'clock we watched the Godiva clock before heading to the Albany theatre for our Creature Cantanta musical performance. The children even sang on stage with a live orchestra; an exhausting day celebrating our incredible city and all its culture! 

   

  RJL Visit to Pizza Express:             On Tuesday 25^th March, RJL enjoyed an exciting trip to Pizza Express in Warwick to make their own pizzas. The children were given chef hats and aprons and were shown how to roll out their own dough and flip it over. Once the children had mastered their skills, they were given another piece of dough to make into their pizza. The children added the tomato base and cheese before the pizza chefs put them into the oven. To end our amazing pizza experience the children got to have a pizza picnic in the park before enjoying a well-earned play on the playground.

  Comic Relief Toy Sale:        We would like to say a huge thank you for all of your contributions to our Toy Sale, which ensured that our Toy Sale on Friday 21^st March was a great success! The children all enjoyed purchasing a preloved toy or book today and we hope that we have given the toys a new lease of life, as well as raising money for Comic Relief.

   

  Year 4 Swimming: Our Year 4 children enjoyed developing their swimming skills in our “pop up pool” in the week beginning 17^th March. They had a lesson every day and many of the children have made fantastic progress and are much more confident in the water! Well done Year 4!

  1RW’s Class Assembly:      We were treated to a wonderful class assembly on Friday 14^th March from 1RW, who focussed on the reading opportunities they have recently enjoyed – these have included dressing up as book characters for World Book Day and a visit to the local library. While they were at the library, they enjoyed a music workshop about the book “Rumble in the Jungle.” As part of their learning in music, they have also been learning some challenging Italian words including mezzo forte, which means medium quiet and fortissimo, which means very loud. Thanks 1RW – we really enjoyed your assembly.

   

  Year 3 Science Workshop:  In keeping with this year’s British Science Week theme, ‘Change and Adapt’, Year 3 participated in an online LIVE workshop on Wednesday 12^th March, which taught them about animal adaptation and climate change fighting innovation. The children explored all the ways that animals and crops are adapted to their habitats here in Britain and all the ways that British farmers are adapting their practice to fight against climate change. The children were especially lucky because they got to see a baby calf being born while they were watching!

  World Book Day:             Our children had a great time dressing up as book characters for World Book Day on Thursday 6^th March– thank you, parents and carers, for your support with this. Teachers went to different classes to read their favourite stories to children and everyone enjoyed the focus on reading for pleasure.

   

  Highly Sprung in Year 4:   On Wednesday 5^th and Friday 7^th March,, Year 4 participated in a Physical Theatre workshop with Highly Sprung. The children learnt that Physical Theatre is a mix of dance movements, acting and spoken words to tell a story. They played lots of different movements games which they thoroughly enjoyed but their favourite game to play was named zombie! They created freeze frame sticky shapes to retell sections of the story of The Three Little Pigs. The children were taught a series of partner lifts which were then incorporated into their final performance: a retelling of The Three Little Pigs. The children showed a great level of enthusiasm throughout the workshop and they thoroughly enjoyed it!

   

  Year 6 Aspirations:           Some of our Year 6 children participated in an Aspirations workshop at Little Heath Primary School on Tuesday 4^th March. The workshops included Severn Trent Water, a construction company, the Armed Forces, as well as the Prince’s Trust. The workshops gave the children the opportunity to listen to stories and achievements and they were able to ask questions about potential future careers. The children all came away feeling very inspired! Another fifteen children visited Warwick University to learn more about university life. First, they participated in an engineering workshop, where they had to build the tallest tower they could out of paper. The tower had to have a working light at the top so it required a lot of problem-solving to ensure the circuit was long enough! After that, the children learnt about different aspects of university, including the range of courses and societies available to them. They were given the opportunity to ask current university students questions about the application process and their subjects. They ended the day with a tour of the campus and completed a sculpture trail to see the lovely artwork in the area. Overall, the children had a great day and are excited about the prospect of going to university in the future!

   

  Year 1 Visit the Library:    In the week beginning 3^rd March, Year 1 visited Bell Green Library. They were very excited and many children pointed out parts of the local area that they were familiar with. Once there, we met the librarian and learnt about the different books that they had, which included fiction, non-fiction and poetry. We had time to browse the books and read some of them and the librarian read some of her favourites to us too. We had such a great visit and we hope to return again next half term!

  Cool to be Kind Week:   Friday 28^th February was the last day of Cool to be Kind week, which was a great success. Children were even kinder and more helpful than usual and achieved stickers for their actions. Examples of this were Lena in Year 3 helping her friend with a recorder and Joshua in Year 6 helping Miss Collins at dinner time. Well done everyone!

   

  Bikeability:      5JK were excited to begin their Bikeability sessions on Friday 28^th February. They were taught about how to stay safe when riding a bike by two of the instructors and could identify faults that would make a bike unsafe to ride, such as a worn tyre. The class are really looking forward to their session next week. 

   

  Year 6 Library Quiz: Over the last few months, a group of Year 6 children have been reading three different books ready to compete in a quiz at the local library. In preparation, they read the books and tried to remember all of the characters, settings and main events. On Thursday 27^th February, they competed against three other schools in a quiz to see which team has the best knowledge of the books. Amazingly, our team won with a total of 35/40 points! They will now be competing in the final at the Central Library. Well done Year 6.
