• Space Ted, Wills, Back from Space Adventure

  Sat 27 May 2017
  Our very own Bear, Wills, was launched into space today by a large weather balloon. As the children counted down, the balloon whisked Wills up into the air at a speed of 5 metres per second. As it was a clear sunny day we could see the balloon for a long time before it finally disappeared behind a cloud. The epic journey continued for Wills until he reached the dizzy height of 38.7 kilometres - the 3rd highest altitude achieved by the organisers! Once the balloon reached its optimum height it burst allowing Wills to return to earth, a little quicker than his ascent! He landed safely in a field about 30km away near Worcester. All components came down with him and were safely disposed of. We look forward to Wills returning to school so we can continue our space project, learning about the science and geography behind the launch and writing about Wills's adventure!

• Grand Opening of New Playground Equipment

  Fri 12 May 2017

  There was a party in the playground on Friday 12th May, as author and ‘I’m a Celebrity’ former contestant, Nadine Dorries, opened the school’s new play equipment. Funded through the Big Lottery and local donations, the exciting new equipment has transformed the playground into an adventure paradise for all the children.

  The children were delighted with the new equipment, which has been declared “more challenging than the old play equipment”. “I really like that we have an obstacle course”, said Kacie (year 4) and Charlie (also year 4) likes the dangling ropes and the climbing frame.

  After cutting the ribbon to open the playground, Mrs Dorries braved a lively question time with the children, where they discovered that she has written no fewer than seven books, that she likes to write from her bed and that she certainly would not like to be Prime Minister. Year One were disappointed, however, to learn that she has not been into space!
