Nursery Stay and Play Success! We had such a wonderful time welcoming our Nursery families to our Communication & Language Stay and Play session today! Families joined us to explore Nursery Phonics, Nursery Rhymes and WELLCOMM activities, discovering fun and practical ways to help children develop their early communication skills through play. It was fantastic seeing everyone getting involved, talking, playing and learning together. The children absolutely loved sharing their nursery environment and showing you all the brilliant things they can do! A huge thank you to all families who joined us this morning and afternoon - your support makes such a difference.

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!
