Caring for each other – Football fundraising
Fri 14 Mar 2025Thank you to all the parents who supported the cake sale and for those that wore football shirts today. The girls’ team are all very thankful. We wore the shirts today to celebrate girls’ football as last Friday was the Biggest Ever Girls’ Football Day but pupils were not in school due to the INSET so we wanted to mark it this week. The cake sale raised £300 and £296 has been raised so far, today. This means you have helped us to cover the cost of the mini-bus for the match next week in Birmingham and 75% of the new kit for the girl’s team – amazing news. Thank you to Isha, Naiya and Humaira who went the extra mile today and added a game of guess the sweets. We also have penalties being taken at the end of the school day. A super day at Lady Bay.

Be Ready – Science week
Fri 14 Mar 2025We have been very lucky and excited to welcome lots of parents in this week to talk to the children during Science Week. It is always a fascinating week and brilliant that parents give up their time to talk to the children about the jobs they do. We started off the week with Dr Irving talking to the children about the human body. He delivered 2 assemblies for years 3,4 ,5 and 6 and discussed a range of topics. He told the children the different functions of the organs. It was really informative and the children asked lots of questions. Mr Gordon came in to talk to the children in year 2 about light and how cameras can be used in science to detect problems inside the human body. Mr Dickinson spoke to the children in year 6 about aerospace engineering and his work at Rolls Royce. Mr Hodkinson delivered a session to the year 5 children about MRIs and the human brain. Our last speaker was Mr Beriro who delivered two assemblies to the children in key stage 2 about Geology.
Some really fascinating talks which the children thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you so much to all the parents who gave up their time to deliver them. If there are any other parents working in different areas of science that would like to come and talk to the children, please contact us as the children learn so much from these sessions. Sorry I couldn’t include pictures from all the
sessions.

Growing together – OPAL play
Fri 14 Mar 2025What a lovely week of weather! OPAL is so nice in the sunshine. The children are all really enjoying OPAL and it is clear to see by their interactions on the playground. It is so lovely to see the mixture of age groups and it seems to be having a positive impact on relationships between the children. We are certainly seeing positives with the types of play being seen too. Thank you for the donation of the sink and to Mr, Middleton for installing the sink in the mud kitchen.
We are still open for any donations you may have. We are looking for the following –
Wellies of different sizes
Suitcases and pushchairs (as they are very popular)
Wheelbarrows
Any den making material
Thank you for your ongoing support with OPAL and for everything that has been donated so far.
This week’s pictures show the girls in year 4 having some chill time in their den and a group of year 1 children enjoying the mud kitchen – very messy hands.

Fri 14 Mar 2025It was fantastic to welcome back Mrs McCarthy to deliver the year 4 Roman Day this year. It is always a fantastic enrichment opportunity where the children are immersed into life in Roman times. The children learnt about what life was like for a Roman soldier, how they fought in different formations and also got to act as soldiers too. A super way to enrich year 4’s learning.
