VE Day 2020

What is VE Day?

VE Day – or ‘Victory in Europe Day’ – marks the day towards the end of World War Two (WW2) when fighting against Nazi Germany in Europe came to an end. On 8 May 1945, Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio at 3pm that the war in Europe had come to an end, following Germany’s surrender the day before.

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day we asked you to get
creative and we weren’t disappointed with the outcomes. As well as
some great artwork, our Bloxwich Academy CCF shared a message to
all key workers.

Even more online lessons!

The BBC and the government have put together daily lessons for children across the UK. If you have finished the work we have set or you fancy something different, take a look.


Oak National Academy

I’m very pleased to welcome Oak National Academy, a new online classroom and resource hub, which has launched to support teachers until schools re-open. The online classroom will provide free lessons and resources for pupils from reception through to year 10. All resources, lessons and more information can be accessed here

As part of a collective response to the crisis, 40 teachers will be producing over 180 free online lessons each week, which will cover a range of subjects from English and maths to arts and languages.


BBC Bitesize 

This week the BBC is launching its own education package as part of their Charter across TV and online – helping to keep children learning and supporting parents. You can find more information about this here

The key difference between the BBC offer and the Oak National Academy is that the Academy is a planned and sequenced series of lessons for schools and trusts to use as part of their planned curriculum offer. Whereas the BBC offer is aimed more at parents and pupils.


Please note that we are not responsible for any of this content. If there are any technical issues, please contact the BBC or Oak Academy directly. We have found that the Oak Academy videos work best on Internet Explorer (the sound doesn’t always work on Chrome, but we are sure they will be ironing out these teething issues moving forward).

Daily Live PE Workouts

Starting Monday 23rd March Joe Wicks The Body Coach is going to be hosting a free workout aimed at kids LIVE on his YouTube channel.

With the schools closed and with us all spending more time at home, it’s more important than ever that we keep moving and stay healthy and positive. Exercise is an amazing tool to help us feel happier, more energised, and more optimistic.

The workouts will be fun and suitable for all ages and even adults can get involved.  You don’t need any equipment, just tune in on YouTube at 9am each morning for a 30-minute, fun workout.

World Book Day 2020

On Thursday 5th March 2020 we celebrated World Book Day! We dressed up in our pyjamas and had various activities running throughout the afternoon. Pupils got to share their favourite books with classmates as well as partnering up with different pupils in other classes to do some shared reading. We would like to thank all of our pupils, parents and teachers for participating!

Thank you to The Sun for sending us a huge selection of books for our children to take home! They are absolutely over the moon and cannot wait to read them.

Sport Relief

On Friday 13th March, the school will once again be joining in the fun and fundraising in aid of Sport Relief.

Children are asked to come into school wearing their PE kit and participate in a Danceathon in return for a £1.00 donation. Each year group will have a 30-minute time slot where they can let loose and show off their best dance moves, before tagging in the next group to take on the challenge.

Once the Danceathon is complete, there will be a whole school assembly in which each class will take to the stage to perform dance routines which they have been learning during PE.

World Book Day

As part of our drive to promote and engage pupil interest in reading, the school will be participating in World Book Day on Thursday 5th March with the theme being Bedtime Stories.

On this special day, children are invited to come into school in their pyjamas and bring in their favourite bedtime story. This year’s World Book Day message is to share a million stories so with this in mind, the children will all be allocated reading buddies from different classes, and will share their much-loved story with each other.

Teachers will also swap classes and read to children from a different year group so that they can experience different storytelling techniques.

Rockin’ Assembly!
