Symphony Hall Rehearsal Day — 22nd June all children participating to

Well, what a busy week it has been this week! The children have enjoyed

lots of different exciting trips across the school, all of which are linked

to their current learning. Probably the most astonishing was that Theresa

May and many other top politicians waved to our school in the lobby of

the Palace of Westminster during Year 5’s trip to parliament! Please

see the picture on the back page! Year 2 enjoyed a fantastic trip to Wes-

ton Super Mare on Monday and Reception went on their Severn Valley

Railway trip on Tuesday. On Thursday, Year 3 went to the Birmingham Mu-

seum and Art Gallery as part of their Ancient Egypt topic. The children

behaved impeccably on all of their visits and were a credit to our school.

Meanwhile, Year 6 children were thrilled that a state of the art Jaguar

Landrover arrived in the

playground on Wednesday!

They learnt about current

and proposed car designs in

preparation for their trip to

Jaguar/ Landrover next

week. To quote Oliver in 6PE “This is my dream car, but I’d want one in

white!”

We would also like to thank Mr Mellon-Woods who has kindly made several

advertising banners for the PTA. You will see them today at Tip Top Fri-

day and at the Summer Fete!

Wishing everybody a lovely weekend. Enjoy the weather– it’s going to be a

hot one! Mrs Darby

Right of the Week: Article 10 Chosen by Year 2 UNICEF ambassa-dors Macy 2S and Molly 2B. Governments must act quickly and sympa-thetically if a child or their parents want to live together in the same country.

Year 3 Egyptian Museum

Year 3 had an amazing time at the Bir-

mingham Museum and Art Gallery yester-

day, visiting the Ancient Egypt gallery and

taking part in a workshop to handle arte-

facts! Everybody was shocked to see a

REAL MUMMY! Then we were all able to

touch real Ancient Egyptian artefacts, like

a mirror, an amulet and a statue. We lit-

erally held history in our hands!

Y5 Houses of

Parliament On Wednesday the children

travelled to London to see

the Houses Of Parliament. It

was a truly amazing experi-

ence for children and staff

alike. We observed a full

Commons and even got to

meet Theresa May and Jere-

my Corbyn. An unforgettable

lifelong memory.

Y2 Weston Super Mare On Monday Year 2 went on their trip to Western Super Mare. All term the children have been learning

about seaside holidays in the past and today. They thoroughly enjoyed playing in the sand, riding the donkeys

and eating their ice creams. The weather was fantastic and everyone had a smile on their face. A truly great

day out! Check out the school website for more photos!

P4C Question

of the week:

What is infinity?

Reception Severn Valley

Reception went on their trip to the Severn Valley Railway. We travelled to

the Highley Engine House on a steam train, where we got to see lots of the

other old steam

trains. We even

found Gordon!

All the children

had a fantastic

day!
