This week at Cradley...

What a joyful and busy week it’s been across school!

Year 5 have reached a significant milestone in DT, beginning to create their sandals – a wonderful moment seeing designs come to life. In Reception, our new ‘Heroes’ topic has launched with great excitement. The children thoroughly enjoyed reading Superworm and have been painting with worms (bravely!) as well as setting up their very own superhero headquarters outdoors.

Year 6 have been captivated by The Giant’s Necklace and were genuinely astonished by the twist at the end – we’re all looking forward to seeing their own creative versions in a couple of weeks’ time. Year 2 have bounced into their first gymnastics session with enthusiasm and energy, while Year 3 have been fascinated by the incredible advancements of the Ancient Egyptians.

Year 1 have loved experimenting with different ways to make their icebergs melt in science – lots of curious minds at work! And Year 4 have shown real perseverance as they begin sewing their Greek temples, demonstrating great focus and determination.

So many rich experiences, so much creativity and curiosity – every class embracing new challenges and opportunities. Wishing you all a restful and happy weekend!

Collective Worship

This week, we shared the story of Jesus' meeting with Zaccheus, a tax collector who was unpopular with those who knew him as he had a reputation for over-charging and taking money for himself.

We considered the importance of honesty as a value which helps us earn trust and is key to belonging and playing our part appropriately in our families and school and wider communities.

We thought about how we can put honesty in action with our friendships, in our classrooms and at home by;

- speaking kindly and truthfully

-owning up when we make a mistake or bad choice

-trying our best and giving our all in everything we do.

Prayer

Dear God,

Thank you for loving us.
Help us to tell the truth,
even when it feels hard.

When we get things wrong,
give us brave hearts to say sorry.
Help us to be kind and trustworthy friends.

Amen

Mini Market Friday 6th March (pm in school time)

Many children in Key Stage 2 have come forward to host stalls as part of this year's mini market.

If your child has signed up for involvement, they have been to a meeting this afternoon and in readiness for next week they now need to work with their fellow stall holders to do the following:

  • Prepare their stall name poster.
  • Prepare what they will sell along with a price list.
  • For stallholders who are baking, please provide a full list of ingredients.
  • Each stall needs a £5 kitty which will be added to funds raised.
  • Bring their items on the morning of Friday 6th March.

 

Every class in school will have the opportunity to attend the mining market and make a purchase or two.  Please send your child in with change to spend on that day, preferably in a purse or named envelope to keep their money safe.

Please direct any further questions to Mrs Warford.
