WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING
Lexus Birmingham Open Tennis competition
Some of our children attended the Lexus Birmingham Open tennis competition. Children got to watch tennis and take part in a coaching session on a clay court. The weather was amazing and the children were a credit to you and the school
Year 1 animal visit
Year 1 were visited by the animal man who brought in lots of different creatures. There was a snake, a cockroach, a Kingfisher, a skunk and even a bearded dragon!
The children were fascinated and very brave as they held, stroked and even wore the snake around their necks!
Big thanks to Steffan who explained and answered lots of questions about the animals.
