Year 4 trip to Tyseley Recycling Centre

Today Year 4 went to the Recycling Centre at Tyseley in Birmingham. We had a great time!!! One of the children said, "I didn't know rubbish could be so interesting!" I have put a couple of photos on the blog to show you a bit about our morning. Hard hats on and we are ready to go!! This centre recycles so many things and uses the energy it creates to provide heat for 40000 homes! The Tyseley Site deals with the 350 million tonnes of rubbish that the people of Birmingham produce every year! I bet that's the first time you have seen plasterboard on a blog!!! It will be recycled to make.......bedding for cows to lie on. Over the next few weeks the pupils in class 4 will be thinking more about their environment and how we asa a school can recycle more.

Year 4's Recycling Work

In preparation for their trip to Tyseley Recycling Centre on Thursday, the children in Year 4 have been thinking about the importance of Recycling at home and at school. Why not visit the Year 4 work page on our website to take a look at some of the great presentations they have created!

Year 5 Recorders

I was fortunate enough to hear the Year 5 children playing their recorders today, following the Tobin music system. Here is my video of 'Merrily We Roll Along'. Keep up the music making, Year 5!

Rotary Community Award

A huge well done to the children in Year 6 who are continuing to work towards the Rotary Junior Community Award. A group of seven of our Y6 children attended our PA meeting last night as part of the requirements for attaining the Rotary Award. Rotarian Don Field also attended the meeting to receive monies that four children had collected from Sainsbury's in Mere Green. The scheme is organised by Mrs Curwen and Mrs Ball and I am truly grateful to them for volunteering their time to offer this extremely valuable opportunity to the children.

Fire Service Visit Year 5

Year 5 children had an educational afternoon with the West Midlands Fire Service today. The learned about safety at home, road safety and the problems that are caused by hoax calls. Thanks go to the kind staff at Sutton Coldfield Fire Station.

Great work by Year 3!

I really enjoyed looking at Year 3's wonderful art work in assembly this morning. They all had to create an object that would fend off any 'nasty beasts' as part of their literacy work. Here are some of their excellent results....
