12th June 2026

We’ve had another busy week in school. It was World Ocean Day on Monday and children in all classes enjoyed extra Geography themed activities focusing on the oceans of the world and what we can do to protect them.  We also had a visit from Sharon McGrath from Move Well Live Well; she gave an amazing talk about her epic row across the Atlantic ocean. On Wednesday, Merlins’ class performed their class play to a huge audience. We were all so impressed with their wonderful acting, amazing costumes and super singing. Thank you to all family members who came to watch and helped to raise £150 for Birmingham Children’s Hospital. And special thanks to Mr Helliker, Ms Yates and Mrs Matthews for all their hard work.  Next week Kestrels will be going on their trip to Shrewsbury – we are hoping for good weather!

We did not have a celebration assembly today so are looking forward to a rollover next week.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.

Mrs L. Edgerton

 

Lawley Leap 2026

Can You Help Make The Lawley Leap & Summer Fete Even Bigger?
We’re asking every family to help spread the word! If each school family could invite just one other family or group of friends from outside the school to come along to the Lawley Leap & Summer Fete, we could make this year’s event our biggest and best yet.
There’ll be plenty of fun, activities, entertainment, and community spirit for everyone to enjoy. Simply share the date and encourage others to join us for a fantastic day out. 🎉
Thank you for helping us make the event a great success!
