This week is National Science week and Year 1 were lucky enough to have sessions with Sarah King a science specialist.
We had a great time today learning about how rockets launch into space.We enjoyed making rockets and testing them and learned why they are shaped as they are- to make them aerodynamic and have fins to make them stable.
We helped Sarah pump air into the rockets to transfer energy in order to launch into the air. It was great fun.
Thank you very much Sarah, we learned a lot and really enjoyed ourselves.

PARTNERSHIP DANCE COMPETITION (KS 1 and KS 2)

Wednesday 5^th February was the day that both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Dance squads had been waiting for…..The Kings Heath Partnership inter-school dance competition.

After many hours of practice, the children presented their dances to a panel of judges and dance squads from other partnership schools, from whom they also learned a great deal about showmanship and technique. If the girls were at all nervous, it didn’t show. What was clear was their enthusiasm and their commitment to do the school proud and themselves proud. They achieved both!

Thank you all, including the Year 5&6 coaches for the KS1 team, for your commitment. We look forward to doing it all again next year.

Competition results:

KS1: awarded 1^st place

KS2: awarded joint 3^rd place

Year 1`s trip to Cannock Chase Toy museum

On Thursday 30th January, Year 1 travelled up to Cannock Chase to visit the fantastic Toy museum.
We had a great day, learning about toys from the past, exploring how to play with a variety of old wooden toys and we also learned to play Hopscotch and use the diabolo too.
In the museum itself, we looked at lots of old toys and played with a a variety of old and new toys, including riding a lovely old rocking horse and dressing up.
We thoroughly enjoyed Clive`s Punch and Judy show and learned about glove puppets and string puppets (marionettes).
After lunch, we all made a peg doll toy to bring home.

Thank you so much to all of our fantastic helpers who joined in very enthusiastically and supported us during the day. We really appreciated your help.
