Year 3 had a wonderful time in the Planetarium learning all about light. We really enjoyed seeing how white light can reflect lots of different colours.

Year 3 are thoroughly enjoying their forest school sessions! Whatever the weather, the children are out there, climbing, swinging, building dens, reenacting scenes from the Stone Age, making sculptures and experiencing our wonderful forest area!

3HW started a new text yesterday, 'The Hodgeheg' by Dick King-Smith. We had great fun exploring our newly decorated corridor which was themed to match our new text. We used our observations to predict what the book could be about. We read Chapter 1 and met the main characters and discussed the vocabularywe found. We cannot wait to read more.

Congratulations to the LKS2 winner of the Guess the Name of the Gingerbread Man competition!

Well done to all of our wonderful writers (masquerading as elves!) for this half term. They all received a special certificate and personalised, golden pencil. We’re proud of their efforts and all of our wonderful writers.

Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed this week at school. The Panto was great fun and they had a wonderful time at the party! Playing games, dancing and having a tasty snack! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all from Year 3!

Choir attended Sing4Xmas this week - a city event held by Wolverhampton Music Services at St John's Church in Wolverhampton. They joined with a number of schools to sing many festive songs and even performed their own piece in front of a large audience. Many of our children and staff got to perform in some of the songs with other children and teachers, and great fun was had by all. This was a super way to end a very busy month of spreading Christmas cheer out and about in our

Year 3 and 4 hosted their fabulous Christmas Carol concert last week and it certainly got everyone in the festive spirit! They worked very hard learning their lines and songs - it was a wonderful event!

3HW have been very busy over the last few days making different Christmas Craft items ready to bring home and share with their families. We have also had fun each day finding out what our naughty Elf 'Eric' has been up to.

Well done to our KS2 choir who performed at New Cross Hospital. You are doing an amazing job at spreading the festive cheer!
