Lyfta Easter Competition

We are excited to launch our Lyfta Easter Competition! Children are invited to explore how Easter is celebrated around the world by creating a piece of artwork or poster inspired by a tradition from another country.

For example, kite flying in Bermuda and decorated palms in Poland.

We would like children to reflect on what this symbolises and why it is an important tradition. There will be prizes for winners in each phase, so we encourage everyone to get involved and be creative!

Entries are to be handed to Miss Jones by Friday 17th April.

Good luck to all who take part – we can’t wait to see your egg-cellent entries!

Exciting new additions for our Diggers Club!

We are incredibly grateful to Alcester Connected for Climate and Nature for their generous donation of a wildlife camera and a solar-powered water pump. The children were thrilled to receive these fantastic resources which will help them learn even more about sustainability, conservation and the natural world.

The wildlife camera will allow us to observe the amazing creatures that visit our school grounds, while the solar pump will support our environmentally friendly gardening projects.

Thank you for supporting our young environmentalists and helping us inspire the next generation to care for our planet!

Year 4 have had a fabulous first day at Edgmond Hall. We have experienced all weathers today but still had great fun!

It was a pleasure to welcome our Reception families into school for our recent Stay and Play session. It was wonderful to see the children so proudly sharing their classroom and learning with their families.

We received some lovely feedback from parents, including:

"A wonderful opportunity to see curiosity in action"

"Hands-on activities sparking their imagination"

"I felt connected to Reception"

"So special to see what children experience in their day"

"It's easier for me to talk to her about school"

"We had a lovely time"

"A great selection of activities!"

Thank you to all the families who joined us and to our Reception team for creating such a warm, engaging environment for our children to learn and thrive. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!

Our Year 5 pupils delivered a wonderful Easter service this week, sharing a confident and thoughtful retelling of the Easter story. We were so proud of their clear speaking, beautiful singing and the respect they showed throughout.

A huge thank you to our dedicated staff team for supporting the children so well in preparing for the service, and to our church for hosting us so warmly. A lovely way to reflect on this special time of year – well done Year 5!

✨ Glow Dodgeball – It finally happened! ✨

After being all dressed up and nowhere to glow a few weeks ago (we’re sure many of you saw Mr Woodcock’s glow dodgeball disappointment! 😄), we were thrilled that the event finally went ahead – and it was absolutely worth the wait!

The children had a fantastic time taking part, showing great teamwork, energy and sportsmanship throughout a brilliant evening of glow-in-the-dark fun. We think it’s safe to say Mr Woodcock was very pleased it finally happened!

A huge thank you to Mrs Dawson for organising such a fun event and to everyone who helped make it such a success.

🦒 Year 1 Zoo Adventure! 🐧

Our Year 1 children had a fantastic adventure during their visit to Twycross Zoo. The children were full of excitement as they explored the zoo and saw some truly amazing animals, including giraffes, gorillas and penguins.

It was wonderful to see their curiosity and enthusiasm as they learned more about the animals and their habitats, as well as enjoying the chance to explore somewhere new with their friends.

A huge thank you to our amazing staff and our fantastic parent volunteers who helped make the trip possible and ensured the children had such a memorable experience.

We are so proud of how brilliantly the children represented our school – they were curious, respectful and a real credit to us all! 🌟

🌊 Year 6 Pupils Achieve Rookie Lifeguard Qualification 🏅

We were delighted to be invited to take part in a trial project alongside Chichester University, giving our pupils the opportunity to develop vital water safety and lifesaving skills through the Rookie Lifeguard programme.

During a series of after-school sessions, the children learned how to help someone in difficulty in the water, CPR, and how to place someone in the recovery position – invaluable skills that could one day help save a life.

We are incredibly proud that 26 of our Year 6 pupils achieved their Level 3 Rookie Lifeguard qualification. They were each presented with certificates, badges and a towelling robe to recognise their fantastic achievement.

A huge thank you to Mrs Howl, part of our Sports team, and Debbie Weston (RLSS UK Rookie Instructor and Assessor) for their expertise and support throughout the programme. We would also like to thank Sarah Don for joining our Dream Big, Shine Bright assembly to present the children with their certificates and robes.

Well done to all of the children involved – you have shown fantastic commitment, maturity and teamwork. We are very proud of you all! 👏

A huge thank you to Kyle and his team at Bidford Landscapes for building this amazing outdoor classroom for us. It looks fantastic and will be such a valuable addition to our OPAL play provision as well as supporting outdoor learning.

We’d also like to say a massive thank you to Jason at MKM Leamington for generously donating the materials, and to Andy at S.E. Davis & Son Ltd for kindly donating the bark.

Your generosity and support have helped create a wonderful space for our children to learn, play and explore outdoors. We are incredibly grateful! Bidford Landscapes MKM Building Supplies SE Davies & Sons Astwood Bank
