Friday 5th December 2025

What an exciting week it has been at Temple Meadow as we welcome the festive season! Christmas is truly arriving in school, and the children have been busy enjoying a range of memorable experiences.

Our Year 6 children took part in an incredible fieldwork project exploring our local community. They visited two contrasting locations to compare features such as traffic and litter, even conducting surveys with members of the public. Before returning to school, they carried out a litter pick and collected an astonishing 28kg of rubbish in just 30 minutes! This hands-on learning not only supported their geography studies but also showed the importance of caring for our environment. Well done, Year 6!

 

Year 1 had a magical day at Dudley Zoo, where they explored the zoo, saw a variety of animals, and even met Santa in his grotto. It was a wonderful festive experience that the children will remember for a long time.

Reception rounded off their superhero topic with a fantastic Superhero Day! The children came dressed as their favourite superheroes and enjoyed creative challenges and activities throughout the day. It was a brilliant celebration of imagination and fun.

We were delighted to welcome Mr Taylor back to school for an engaging talk with Year 6 about the Second World War, further enriching their learning.

We are thrilled to celebrate some fantastic written English work produced by two our Year 5 children this week. Their creativity, vocabulary choices and attention to detail have been outstanding. 

Thank you for your continued support in making these experiences possible. We look forward to sharing more festive cheer and learning adventures with you as the term continues.

New! Meal Selection on MCAS App

Families are now able to pre-select school meals using the My Child at School (MCAS) app. This is a great way to plan lunches together and ensure your child gets their preferred choice.

Key Points:

  • Log in to MCAS and click ‘Dinners’ to make your selection.
  • Meals must be booked by the day before and paid for in advance (or have sufficient credit).
  • Families entitled to free school meals still need to select meals via the app.
  • If no meal is booked and no packed lunch is provided, the School Office will contact you.

We recommend booking weekly – you can select up to three weeks in advance!

Christmas Jumper Day Reminder

Children are invited to wear a festive Christmas jumper alongside their usual school uniform on Wednesday 10th December 2025. We kindly ask that each child brings a £1 cash donation to support Save the Children UK.

Thank you for helping us make a difference!

Christmas Dinner Reminder

We’re looking forward to a wonderful day filled with festive cheer! Children are invited to enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner in school.

If your child is not in receipt of Free School Meals, please ensure you make a payment via the MCAS app in advance for their school dinner.

School Council Visit to Oldbury Council House Last Tuesday, some of our School Council MPs had the fantastic opportunity to visit Oldbury Council House as part of UK Parliament Week.Inside the council chambers, they learned all about budgets, rights and representation, and spoke proudly about how Temple Meadow's School Council shares the voices of classmates in pupil parliament meetings.A real highlight was meeting the Mayor of Sandwell, who explained his role within the borough. Our MPs were very curious about where he bought his special robes! What an inspiring day for our young leaders!
