Highlights of the week
Sun, Sport, and Success! The children have been making the most of the glorious sunshine, putting our brand-new playground equipment to excellent use during break times. It’s been a busy week across the year groups: Year 3 have officially launched their Forest School programme, while Year 4 enjoyed a fantastic day at the local cricket festival. A huge congratulations to our girls' football team, who played brilliantly to qualify for the Birmingham HMS Girls Cup!
Have a lovely weekend.

3A enjoyed working outside in their maths lesson this week. They used their estimating, comparing and measuring skills to measure the capacity of different sized containers.
A group of Y4 children headed to Kings Heath Cricket club this week for a School Games Cricket Festival. They played 3 different games of fast paced cricket and demonstrated some excellent batting and fielding skills.
