Well Being
Spring is on its way...the bulbs that the children and Mrs Stowe planted last Autumn term have now started to bud and green shoots are now appearing.
We have been given 15 tiny saplings by the Woodland Trust. Week beginning 25th every class will be planting two trees and the Peacemakers will plant one of their own. If we have any gardeners out there who have any spare time available, please do let the office know.
Comic Relief - Red Nose Day on 15th March...
We were delighted to see the children (and staff) arrive at school in their PJ's to support such a wonderful charity - we wish to take this opportunity to thank parents/families for supporting us today and we will annouce the fundraising amount shortly.

The meeting will be held in the Year 1 classroom. Staff will be on hand to look after children in the Reception classroom so that you are free to listen and ask any questions. Year 1 is a very important year for phonics and reading and the information shared at this meeting will greatly benefit your child. Thank-you for your support.

Cross Country team success...
A big thank you to all of the children who competed in the Dudley Primary Cross-Country Championships on Saturday at Himley Hall. Our boys team comprised of: Archie C, Finley H, Kian J, Jonathan H and Dylan T. All the boys completed the 1.5km course! Well done to Jonathan for finishing 30th out of around 180 competitors! Our girl's team comprised of: Ellie-May C, Elly L, April T, Lacey B, Zoie C and Lexie W. Again they all ran very well- it was a challenging 1.5km course. A special congratulations to Lexie who finished 20th and has secured a place in a future county race! Thanks too for the support of all the parents. Mrs Kennedy and Mrs Cooper were very proud of all of our children.
