What a Fantastic Day at Cadbury World! Yesterday, our Year 3 children had an amazing time on their visit to Cadbury World! From the moment they arrived, the excitement was clear and the experience did not disappoint! The children enjoyed an immersive journey through the history of chocolate and the fascinating story of Cadbury. One of the highlights was the Bean to Bar educational session, where they learned how cocoa beans are transformed into the chocolate we all know and love. The handson activities and demonstrations had the children fully engaged and eager to learn - all perfectly linked to their English work on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Travelling by coach together added to the adventure and staff were incredibly proud of the children's excellent behaviour, curiosity and enthusiasm throughout the entire day. A huge thank you to our brilliant Year 3 children for making the visit such a joy, and to our staff team for ensuring the day ran smoothly from start to finish. It was a truly memorable experience - full of learning, excitement and of course, a little chocolate magic!

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Amelia, a muchloved child from our local community. Many families will already know that Amelia's story touched people far beyond our area. Her bravery, her bright spirit and the remarkable community support surrounding her journey were widely recognised, including national media coverage as she set herself the goal of receiving 8,000 birthday cards for her eighth birthday. Thanks to the extraordinary kindness of people across the region and beyond, Amelia not only reached her target – she received tens of thousands more. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Amelia's family, her friends and everyone at Highfields at this incredibly difficult time.

Year 4 Explore ThinkTank! Last week, our Year 4 children had an inspiring and funfilled day at Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum! From handson science exhibits to discovering Birmingham's fascinating industrial past, the children enjoyed a full day of curiosity, creativity and STEM learning. Travelling by train added an extra layer of reallife experience and the children were fantastic ambassadors for Temple Meadow throughout the day. They especially loved exploring the interactive galleries and spending time in the outdoor science garden! Thank you to our staff team for making the day such a success.

What an amazing day our Reception children had on Wednesday at Sycamore Adventure Centre! They had the best time exploring the water and sand areas, riding the bikes, and enjoying the soft play, slides, tunnels, and swings. A particular favourite was the incredible sensory room, along with so many other exciting activities throughout the day. Our children represented Temple Meadow brilliantly - their behaviour was fantastic, and they were an absolute credit to our school. We are so proud of them! A huge thank you to our wonderful family volunteers for supporting the trip and helping to make it such a great success.

After School Club Fun! Our Year 1 and Year 2 children have been busy getting creative in After School Club this week! Using bright colours, paper, and lots of imagination, the children have crafted their very own handmade flower pots. From bold, rainbow-coloured petals to carefully designed stems and leaves, each creation is completely unique and they look absolutely fantastic! It's been lovely to see the children taking such pride in their work and supporting each other as they built their colourful bouquets. We hope you enjoy seeing some of their finished designs!
