Top Tip for the Summer Holiday

With the summer holidays nearly here, school children all over the UK and their families are getting ready to enjoy some unforgettable days out together.

Every year we work closely with attractions to provide summer offers exclusive to our partner schools...and this year we're bringing you more than ever before! That's discounts on local and national attractions, museums, theatres, theme parks, sports activities, events, festivals and even West End Shows.

This is the perfect opportunity for families to plan their outings and enjoy amazing experiences for less.

We're bringing back our famous 15% off days out for families with the promo code SCHOOLS15.

Moffat hot food serving trolley - free to a good home!

We have a Moffat hot food serving trolley that failed its last PAT testing due to the electric cable. We now have a more compact serving trolley and need the space the Moffat trolley is currently taking up.

If you have any use for it or would be kind enough to take it to scrap for us, please get in touch.  Thank you.

We have enjoyed lots of exciting activities in Wrens this week.  We hope you all had as much fun as we did on Monday at Sports Day.  We were so lucky with the weather and the children did themselves proud with their enthusiasm and sporting abilities.  It was a great afternoon!

On Wednesday morning we had a lovely walk down to the church and really enjoyed exploring the features of a Christian place of worship before having a run round on the Village Green. Please see our news article for more details.

Yesterday, Reception enjoyed spending their morning in their new class with Miss Rixon. They came back full of excitement about the different activities they had done in the morning.

We also finished our topic work on dinosaurs this week by finding out how palaeontologists discover what dinosaurs ate.  Did you know that as well as looking at their teeth they also investigate fossilised dinosaur poo?

In maths, we have been looking at maps and directions as part of our work on "visualise, build and map".  We drew our own pirate island maps to support our pirate themed continuous provision activities.  We also produced some excellent maps of the route we took to walk to the church.

Thank you for sending in your Little Wandle and library books this week.  We will be sending home forest school clothes at the beginning of next week but the children will need to keep their PE kits in school until Thursday as we have our final Kidderminster Harriers football session on Tuesday and our final house sports event on Thursday.

This week in English, we have carried on with a focus on the book The Tiger Who Came to Tea. The children drew a picture of the tiger before annotating it with adjectives to describe it. They then used these adjectives to compose expanded noun phrases. They have also been thinking of verbs and adjectives to describe the tiger. Next week they will compile their work to write a character description about him.

In maths, Year 1 have continued to practise telling the time to o'clock and half past. Any extra practise of telling the time at home would be greatly appreciated. They have also been looking at the days of the week and months of the year and ordering these. Year 2 have been learning how to use the language of position. They have used this to describe movements and turns, including making quarter, half, three-quarter and full turns both clockwise and anticlockwise.

In history, the children sorted images into pictures of healthcare and hospitals from the past and present. They justified how they knew when the images were from before by writing some sentences that identified similarities and differences between healthcare and hospitals from the past and present.

In art this week, we started a new topic about expressionist art. The children really enjoyed looking at this style of art and made really thoughtful suggestions for what the artist might have been thinking and feeling when they created the pieces.

There are no Little Wandle books going home this week so we can carry out an audit of the books.

In English, the children have been continuing to work on our biographies of William Shakespeare.  They have gathered some key facts that they will need to include in their final pieces of writing.

In maths, we looked at interpreting data in the form of bar charts. We will be moving on to drawing bar charts in the next lessons.

We are coming to the end of many of our topics for this year and this week has been the culmination of many of them:

In DT, the children have tested and evaluated their slingshot cars and completed the work on this topic.

In geography, the children explored the many different advantages and disadvantages of both local and imported food and wrote a balanced argument explaining the same.

The children have also completed their work on birthdays in France. The children have enjoyed this topic and performed really well throughout.

We also had sports day this week which the children thoroughly enjoyed and took part in with great enthusiasm.  Well done to all of them who took part in the different races.

Timetable

Tuesday: KS2 performance at 6.00pm.

Wednesday: KS2 performance at 6.00pm.

Thursday: House Rounders Tournament in the afternoon.  Please bring in PE kit.

In geography this week, the children worked collaboratively to decide which energy source they felt was best suited to a proposed plan for a city. They had to consider the human and natural geography of the area provided on the brief and give their reasons for their choices. Groups worked to create a short video presentation which provided their reasons for their choice, the advantage of their energy source, the disadvantage they had to consider as well as provide an example of where in the country this energy source has been used successfully.

In DT, the children were able to put their recipes to the test by creating their very own Bolognese sauce. The children worked with a wide variety of ingredients and cooking equipment to create a sauce that had the right balance of flavour. They worked brilliantly in their groups and took home a sauce they could be proud of.
