Dear Parents and Carers

Despite the extremely cold weather outside, we’ve still had plenty

of fun inside. During some lunchtimes Mrs Patel and all the

lunchtime supervisors have organised a range of indoor activities.

Thank you to them all and to the children for being calm and

sensible despite being cooped up inside. On Thursday we had an

array of amazing book characters in school as we celebrated World Book Day by

dressing up. Meanwhile, it was also (incredibly given the weather!) the first day of

Spring and for all of our Welsh families: Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus! Mrs Whitehead

Bad Weather This week we had some extremely cold weather. If we have snow, then our aim

is always to keep school open. However, should we need to close the school

then we will notify parents as early as possible through the following ways:

School Expansion

Update

Bit by bit the renovations to

the old building are

happening so that once the

building work is complete,

both old and new parts of the

school will be fantastic.

Over half term the Reception

classrooms had sections of

vinyl flooring fitted (so the

children can do as much

‘messy’ learning as they

want!) and brand new toilets

with delightful dinosaur

doors and easy to use trough

sinks.

In Year 1 our brand new

tables and chairs arrived to

add to all the other new

furniture, making them just

as good as the Year 2

classrooms.

Hockey – match report

On the 14th February a group of year 6s competed in a hockey

tournament which took place at the Play Football Arena. This was

the Birmingham Area Finals, following on from our success at the

Sutton event earlier in the year.

The team consisted of Harry, Greg, Francesca, Zoe, Joshua and Tom.

We won our first game 4-1. The positions were Greg in defence who

was substituted by Harry, Tom who was centre mid substituted by

Joshua and Francesca and Zoe were left centre mid and right centre

mid. Zoe scored 3 goals and Tom scored 1. The next game we played

well, winning 2-1 with Tom scoring 2 goals. After that match we drew

0-0. The next game would decide whether we were through or not.

Unfortunately we lost 4-3 in that match with Francesca scoring

alongside Tom and Zoe.

It turned out we scored enough to get through due to our goal

difference. In the semi-finals we managed to win 4-1 with Tom

scoring 2 goals and Zoe with the other 2.

In the final we were facing the team we had previously lost to in the

group stage, but we managed to succeed in the game with Tom

scoring 1 and Zoe scoring 1. It ended 2-0 to Maney we won the

tournament.

We would like to thank Mr Wigley and Miss Collister. We would also

like the other three children Poppy, Vincent and Danny who helped

us to get there in the first place.
