The final week of Year 6
What a busy final week we have had - 2 performances, a water fight and the Leavers' Service. There has been a lot of laughter and a few tears too. Year 6, thank you for being such a wonderful class and we all wish the very best as you move into Year 7. Good luck to each and every one of you.
Central Warwickshire Athletics Finals
A huge well done to Elsie who represented our school at the Central Warwickshire Athletics Finals event. She did a wonderful job competing in the long jump, javelin and mixed relay. Elsie also did a wonderful job encouraging and coaching some of our younger pupils. Well done Elsie we're really proud of you!
Children's Forest
On Thursday, Year 6 visited the Children's Forest for the final time. The children played games, built a fire to toast marshmallows and observed how the forest had changed throughout the seasons. The children had such a wonderful time and they are so grateful to have visited the Children's Forest a number of times over the past two years.
Art Week 2026
For Art Week this year, year 6 looked at the documentary series 'Africa' by David Attenborough. They used their drawing and shading skills to create close-up images of African animals and animal eyes. They began by looking at the artwork of Tim Jeffs, who is well known for his detailed and realistic representations of animals.
SATs Week
Well done Year 6 for approaching SATs week with such positivity and determination - we are so proud of each and every one of you! As a little treat, the children received their Leaver's Hoodies and they finished the week with a post-SATs party.

Coventry Cathedral Visit
Year 6 visited Coventry Cathedral as part of their theme topic World War 2. The children listened to talks about how Coventry was impacted by the war, explored the Cathedral World War 2 museum and sketched the ruins. The children also visited the nearby Herbert Art Gallery to look at the Peace and Reconciliation exhibition.
World Book Day 2026
We had a super time on Thursday for World Book Day! The children looked fantastic in their book character costumes and they all enjoyed taking part in a variety of book-related activities throughout the day. The children completed a treasure hunt to find out who stole the Gingerbread Man and they then created a graphic novel based on the alternative fairy tale 'Snow White in New York.'
Loudmouth Personal Safety Workshop
Year 5 and 6 took part in a personal safety workshop with the Loudmouth performance group. They heard important messages about how they can keep themselves safe and who they can go to for support. They discussed Early Warning Signs and that they are in charge of their bodies and personal boundaries. The Loudmouth performers played some difficult situations and the children discussed how the characters could have sought help or acted differently.
Area Indoor Athletics
Selected students from Y5 and Y6 took part in the area indoor athletics competition along with lots of other schools. They competed in individual and team track and field events such as relay, speed bounce, standing long jump and javelin. All the children performed brilliantly and had lots of fun. It was lovely to see how supportive they were of each other and how well they demonstrated all our school values.
Maths
Year 6 have been working hard in their Maths lessons this week. They have been measuring and drawing angles, calculating missing angles on a straight line and exploring angles in triangles and quadrilaterals.
Year 5 & 6 Carol Concert
On Wednesday, Year 5 and 6 performed a Carol Concert to their families at St Nicolas Church. The children sang Christmas Carols, Christmas Songs and played a variety of instruments including hand chimes, guitar and piano. The children did an incredible job and we hope that everyone who attended enjoyed the festive treat!
Design Technology
Over the last week, Year 6 have been busy making tote bags as part of their design technology unit this term. The children designed, made and evaluated their bags. They all did such an amazing job and their final products were really successful.

Year 6 have been enjoying creating electrical circuits during their Science lesson. They have also been investigating how the amount of voltage affects the brightness of the bulb.

03/10/25 - Black Country Museum School Visit
What a super (and very rainy) day we had at the Black Country Museum on Friday! The children enjoyed exploring the different elements of the Museum, including experiencing what working in a coal mine was like and taking part in a Victorian school lesson. The children were so well-behaved and demonstrated our school values throughout the day.
Masterclass Art
Year 6 had their first masterclass art lesson and looked at the work of William Morris before responding to his work in sketch books.
WB 02/09/25 - The first week of school!
Year 6 have settled in brilliantly into the new school year. They have started their new theme topic on the Victorians and have taken part in science, maths, English and PSHE lessons over the week. Today was particularly exciting as we got to go and watch the Tour of Britain Cycle Race as it made its way through the village! I am really proud of how the children have settled into the new routines of the classroom and I look forward to teaching them over the coming year.
