Fri 22 Oct 2021In the final part of their art project, Year 3 & 4 used a variety of tools to create a collaborative sculpture with artist Claire Witcomb.

Y3 & 4 Football success
Thu 21 Oct 2021Yesterday some of our Year Three and Four children competed in Walsall’s Football Festival competition. Eight other schools were in attendance and we competed in three matches. The weather was far from ideal and came down heavily for most of the tournament.
Despite the challenging conditions they all represented the school with excellent behaviour and sportsmanship throughout and even won all three matches with some excellent scores!
A special mention has to go to Mason for a final winning goal within the last 30 seconds of the third match!
