Growing In Faith and Learning
Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
On Wednesday all of the children from Reception to Year 6 went to church for our Harvest Service. It was lovely to see so many parents there too. Thank you very much for all of your kind donations, these have now been taken to the Tamworth Food Bank. Thank you also to Mrs Drew, a volunteer at the food bank, who came into school and took worship.
On Thursday it was great to welcome parents/carers of children in Years 1 to 6 to the English workshop. We hope to see you again next week when we will be holding our Maths workshops.
FOSLS held a Macmillan Coffee morning on Friday and raised £223. Thank you to everyone that made/donated cakes and to those that came along and bought them.

There has been a lot going on in school this week. Owls planned and made working drawbridges, and they have also started recorders.
Falcons visited Blists Hill Victorian Town on Tuesday. The children had a great day and all looked the part in their costumes. Please take a look at the photos on the gallery page.
