Today Nursery and Reception enjoyed a beach themed memorable day to start our new cornerstones topics.

Early Years had a wonderful memorable day as part of their topic learning all about farm animals.  'Farm on wheels' were invited in to share some of their amazing small animals with us.

The children were enthralled throughout and were a credit to Bloxwich Academy (Primary) with their listening skills and their impeccable behaviour. Well done children! What a super day we had!
