Exhilarating Experiences!

It’s been a busy term again at school. Year 2 went to the mosque in Birmingham to support their learning in R.E. and Years 3 & 4 held a moving Easter performance for families. Our Early Years classes visited Ash End Farm, went litter picking around Meriden for Earth Day and held a wonderful Mothers’ Day celebration (tissues were needed!) Events coming up include Year 3’s trip to London, Year 4’s residential trip to Oakerwood. Years 3 and 5 are camping out and Year 6 are going for a week at Red Ridge for some climbing, rafting and biking!

Our fundraising team has been hard at work since Christmas, organising events for the children,such as the Valentine disco, a fun Easter hat parade, Mothers’ Day gift sale, a ‘Break the Rules’ day and the first Meriden ball! Over £3000 was raised in the spring term which will go towards new iPads for the children.We are so grateful to them for their hard work!

Once again a huge ‘thank you’ to BIFFAand BRI Wealth Management who sponsored us for the ball. A lot of our costs were covered by their sponsorship and we are very appreciative. Also, special thanks to The Strawberry Bank Hotel. The venue was perfect and the food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be repeating this event next year, so please do look out for details in the future and come and join us.

Coming up we have Fathers’ Day gifts (w/c 12th June), Bags to School (8 th June) and Sports day refreshments (26th May).

Last,but not least, our amazing Summer Fair is on its way! Come and join us on Friday 30th June 5-7pm for funpacked fundraising!
