Friday 28th February 2025
What a wonderful start to the new half-term – the sunshine has even made an appearance! It has been brilliant to see so many happy, smiley faces back in school. This week, Year 3 children were able to build on their British Values understanding by learning about Sikh faith at a Gurdwara. They had hands-on experiences such as exploring the articles of faith, engaging in Sikh practices and even tasting some delicious food in the Langar. On Friday, Year 2 enjoyed their visit to the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham and were able to learn all about plant growth.
BeSMART Cup winners who will have a special treat next week:
Mrs Evans and Mrs Sturrock’s class for being such a smart, helpful, kind class and always trying their very best. They could have it most weeks! The adults that work in this class are very impressed with them and their super attitude to learning.
