Year 3 were Scientists this afternoon, looking at how light reflects and travels. They made their own periscopes using cereal boxes and mirrors and were absolutely amazed at how they could use them to see around corners and over and under things. The children even went into Year 6, where they saw Mrs MacDonald, and were keen to explain how their periscopes work. What great enthusiasm and enjoyment for Science Year 3!
Year 2 had a great afternoon discussing friendships. Using their knowledge of instructions, they came up with a recipe for making a good friend. A handful of kindness, a spoonful of sharing and a sprinkle of helpfulness were some of the ingredients mentioned. Well done Year 2, we think you perfected the recipe.
Congratulations to everyone who has been working hard in and out of school this week, displaying all of our school values!

As part of our WWII topic, Year 6 have been learning about how Anderson Shelters were used to protect families from air raids. This afternoon, the children started the process of constructing individual shelters in a fun Design & Technology lesson. There was a lot of sawing, gluing and precision involved. Amazing effort from all the children, we cannot wait to see the final structures.
The whole school went on a musical journey from the 1930’s to modern day with the Coventry Music Rock Band, enjoying some Blues, Rock and Roll, Metal, Funk, Reggae, Disco, Ska, Brit Pop and Pop. Who knew there were so many different musical genres?
Along the way, we heard classic anthems from Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Queen, David Bowie, Oasis, Walk The Moon, and Coventry’s own The Specials…
We sang. We danced. We ROCKED!
Year 6 were Artists this afternoon, discovering the theory of colours in particular looking at warm and cold colours. They created their own portraits and used oil pastels to highlight the difference between the colours. Well done Year 6 for showing great enthusiasm for art and producing some fantastic pieces of work!
It’s fantastic to see so many of our children using our school values in and out of school. Congratulations to all of our Stars of the Week and pupils receiving their Bronze Certificate. And, a special mention to both football teams, who played exceptionally well this week, and showed fantastic sportsmanship. Our school community are really proud of you all.

Today, Rhupinder from Young Carers led a whole school assembly in aid of Young Carers Awareness Day to raise awareness of the challenges faced by young carers and campaigns for greater support for them. The children shared their views by answering different questions and they listened well to the personal experiences of children who are young carers in Coventry. More information will be sent home. If you believe your child may be a Young Carer, please make an appointment with either Mr Ray or Mrs Smith.
This afternoon, Year 3 were visited by Warwick University students on behalf of UNICEF. We had a workshop delivered on Nutrition and the importance of a healthy and varied diet. Furthermore, they spoke about the work they do to support those children, who are in need in less developed countries around the world. They also informed us about how we can get involved by doing simple things within our local community. Finally we created group posters on what we had learnt from the session.
