Year 5 Farm Visit

Last week, 5RW travelled down to Wick Court farm in Gloucester. Once we arrived, we were given our first jobs straight away. Group 1 had to walk over 2 fields at 7pm to feed the cows! Over the course of the week, the children and staff all carried out different tasks on the farm: feeding the animals, picking plums, planting trees, cleaning out the stables and cooking food. 

On the last day of the trip, the children had the opportunity to choose their activity for the afternoon. Some children went searching in the woods for materials to build dens, others chose to stay in the warm to weave and some decided to build crowns out of woodland objects. The staff at Wick Court were sad to see us go and told Mr Watters how fantastic and well behaved the children were. 

5RW had a fantastic week on the farm and we can’t wait to hear about 5RB’s trip in March!


What an exciting week we’ve had. Posing with the horses this morning.

Today we’ve been cooking!


A beautiful frosty morning today on the farm! A busy day filled with lots of jobs!


Fun on the farm! Look at those happy faces! It’s been a rather muddy journey today!


Now we know why they said ankle wellies wouldn’t be okay!


This morning, one group has gone out bright and early to pet, feed and clean out the beautiful horses.

Theatre Visit – A Christmas Carol

In a blink of an eye our Year 11s are a term through their final year of GCSEs.  In readiness for their English Literature GCSE, and preparation for their Mock examinations all Year 11 attended an adaptation of A Christmas Carol.  The performance was held at Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham on Tuesday 26th November.  The show presented an excellent portrayal of Charles Dickens’ classic Victorian novel that explores the importance of family and being charitable to those in need.

Jumpers

National Christmas Jumper Day

As part of our continued fundraising activities, pupils and staff will have the opportunity to dig out their favourite festive jumper to support Save the Children.

Due to the Key Stage 2 theatre trip, we will hold our Christmas Jumper Day slightly early on Thursday 12th December. All pupils are invited to wear a Christmas themed jumper in addition to their usual school uniform in return for a donation on £1.00.

A prize will be on offer for the most ‘Christmassy’ jumper, and we hope that this day will bring some festive cheer, as well as raising money to help children who are in need.

We look forward to seeing some of the entries; please ensure that school uniform is worn underneath the jumper.

The House System

Bloxwich Academy Primary

Children at Bloxwich Academy Primary have taken ownership of the new house system. Four new mascots have been chosen to represent each team. Voting took place across the school, with every child completing a ballot slip. After a tense wait, votes were counted and children found out the results:

| Brindley Bears | Stephenson Sharks | Telford Tigers | Watt Wolves |

Whilst this was all taking place, school council met and discussed how housepoints should be awarded. After a very thorough debate, children made the final decision that housepoints should be awarded for a variety of things, including fantastic work, awesome behaviour and for following the Bloxwich values.

Children across the school are now working hard to make their own valued contribution to the weekly team's score; collecting as many points as they can before the winning team is announced in assembly.
