END OF TERM MAILING LENT TERM 2019 HEADMISTRESS: DR CAROLYN SHELLEY B.ED (HONS) PHD DIRECT LINE: 01242 258079 EMAIL:
[email protected] 29th March 2019 Dear Parents, The last two weeks of this term have been very busy across the school, including, as you know, welcoming inspectors to the school to see all the wonderful work we do, including some of our WOW days. The children enjoyed showing their work and were a great credit to the school. Thank you for taking part in the parental survey and feeding into the process - the report is now being finished and we look forward to sharing the results with you in about seven weeks time. In the second half of term, we have held some exciting WOW days linked with topic work, both further afield and at school; Year Two had a fantastic Space Day at school, dressing in amazing costumes and learning many new facts, and Year One had a fantastic visit to ThinkTank Birmingham, linking with their Science topics and returning home full of information about Forces, the Body, and fossils and skeletons! Reception invited other year groups to join them in their Space Day when they investigated constellations and the planets in the ‘Wonderdome’ an amazing planetarium in our Pre-Prep hall. The children were fascinated and they then went on to find out more planet facts and to create their own constellations in the classrooms. Lastly, we all celebrated World Book Day with a focus on poetry this year; we had fun sharing our favourite poems or rhyming stories, reading with buddies, carrying out a rhyming quiz around the school and, of course, becoming poets ourselves.
