Thursday 1st May We will be enjoying Green Day again this year. On Thursday 1st May we would like to invite the children to wear something green/flowery in exchange for either potted herbs, plants for the sensory garden or a suggested £1 donation for the Primary Allotment Plot. (Please note, we would prefer not to have donations of seeds as we already have quite a lot!) Thank you in advance for your support.
The Welcome Committee had a lovely time welcoming four new reception children who have recently joined our school. They organised an egg hunt and Easter themed craft in the front garden. It was so lovely to see the older children working together with the younger ones

Both teams did an amazing job, with one of our teams being placed the highest scoring primary school in the West Midlands. Well done children!

Well done to the Year 4 children who competed in an archery competition last week. It was a fun event based around a story about a castle and involved completing challenges with an archery theme. The children were brilliant ambassadors for our school and have been invited to compete in a regional competition in a few weeks.
