A wonderful violin lesson with Olivia today! The children have been learning to read notation and have practiced playing a piece with the bows for the first time. Lots of practice and effort got them to this stage and will allow the children to really build on this in the coming weeks.

Year 3 and 4 had a visit!
This morning Year 3 and 4 had a visit from Indi from Telford Gurdwara to talk about Sikhism. He was absolutely brilliant and gave us loads of information! Indi talked about the discipline he must follow in his life since he was baptised and talked all about the Gurdwara. He showed us the 5 K’s and explained what they meant to him and why he carries them. Did you know Sikhs are vegetarians and they never cut their hair! Sikhs believe that we are made in the image of God and God is perfect therefore we must look after what God has gifted to us. We learnt so much about Sikhism and the beliefs that Sikhs follow. Thank you Indi!

Summer Term Trips – Year 4
Good Afternoon,
Children should have brought home a letter today with details of two trips during the summer term (details below). Please be aware that the first of these trips is on Wednesday 17th April which is next week! We will send reminders out for both events.
On Wednesday 17th April – half day. The children will be attending Chetwynd Deer Park to complete Spring Explorers Activities. This is a day run by the Volunteers at the Deer Park that includes pond dipping, nature activities and bug eating challenges! The children will need to wear usual Forest Fun clothing and suitable footwear – not forgetting a small rucksack to carry a water bottle, snack and any waterproofs needed. Children will walk to the Deer Park with school staff.
On Tuesday 4th June – All day; 8.30-3.30pm. The children be attending Lichfield Cathedral. The children will be exploring the theme of ‘Spirituality, Well-being and Courageous advocacy’ concepts which are found within spiritual development. The children will engage with interactive stations and explore what each theme means for people of faith as well as what it means for us in our everyday lives. For this trip, we will leave at 8:30am and arrive back at school for 3:30pm. Children will require a packed lunch for this trip and will need to be at school for 8:15am for a prompt departure at 8.30am. Any children who are in receipt of free school meals will have a meal provided for them from our school kitchen. Children should wear usual school uniform for this trip.
