Year 5 Trip to Birmingham Art Gallery Our Year 5 children had a fantastic day exploring Birmingham Art Gallery on Wednesday! The visit gave them a wonderful opportunity to immerse themselves in a wide range of artwork and exhibitions, sparking creativity and enriching their learning across the curriculum. A highlight of the day was the Ancient Greece: Life and Drama workshop, which linked perfectly with their current history topic. The children were fully engaged, asked thoughtful questions and represented Temple Meadow brilliantly throughout the day. A big thank you to our Year 5 team for organising such a memorable experience and to our families for your ongoing support in making these opportunities possible. What a creative and inspiring day for our Year 5 children!

RSPB Big School Birdwatch! On Friday, our children took part in the RSPB's Big School Birdwatch. Each class headed outside to see how many different birds we could spot around our school grounds and we were not disappointed! We spotted seagulls, crows, pigeons, magpies and blackbirds during our birdwatching adventure. The children loved getting involved and learning more about the wildlife right on our doorstep. If you'd like to find out more about the Big School Birdwatch and how you can get involved at home, visit the RSPB website: https://www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happening/big-garden-birdwatch

We've loved welcoming HugglePets back into school this term. Children have been so excited to see Murphy and the gang and it was wonderful to watch their confidence grow as they spent time with the animals. A huge thank you to HugglePets for bringing so much calm, joy and curiosity into our school!

Young Voices Wicked Worldwide Singalong 2026 What an incredible afternoon we had yesterday as our school choir joined over 500,000 children worldwide for the Young Voices Wicked Worldwide Singalong! At 3:00 pm, our children sang their hearts out as we joined the live stream from The O2 in London, where an amazing 8,000strong choir performed alongside Wicked West End star Emma Kingston. The atmosphere was magical and our children shone as they performed the specially arranged YV26 Wicked Medley. A huge well done to all our choir children - you sang beautifully, showed amazing enthusiasm and were part of something truly global and unforgettable. We are so proud of every single one of you! We also loved seeing the touches of Wickedthemed pink and green - thank you, families, for helping support the fun!
