Sports Relief Day
We enjoyed keeping fit on Sports Relief Day. During the day we did lots of fun activities including using the huff and puff equipment.
The School Council organised a lovely treat of a fresh fruit salad at play time which helped give us the energy to jog around the field which was very tiring!

Year 1 learned about an artist called Kandinsky. He listened to music to help him paint great pictures. He liked using shapes and colours. We looked at his “concentric circles” and made our own with chalks and paint.
Oh! – we found out that concentric means circles of different sizes starting from the same middle point.

On Wednesday the 16th June all
Year 1 and Year 2 children went on an educational visit to the Black Country Museum. This visit was to link with our history topic on houses and homes. When we got there we split into four groups and each group had their own guide for the day. The children thoroughly enjoyed looking at the Victorian houses and finding out what life was like in Victorian times. The children particularly enjoyed visiting the “back to back” houses where the family lived at the front of the property and another family lived at the back. Some families had so many children they had to eat their meals on the stairs! We all had lessons in the Victorian School room, practicing writing with chalk and slates. We also found out what happened to naughty children and teachers… Some groups were lucky enough to have a ride on a tram and most of the children had the opportunity to play with some Victorian games and toys. We had a super day, the weather was glorious and the visit certainly brought the topic alive for the children.

On Wednesday 23rd June Year ½ went to St Thomas’ Church in Wednesfield to celebrate “the marriage of Sophia Clarke and Jack Jones.” The bride looked stunning in a long white dress and was accompanied by “her father” Mr Callum Webster and four bridesmaids, Ellen Potts, Millie Himan, Fraya Leek and Maya Dhaliwal. The groom was very smartly dressed in waistcoat, white shirt and trousers with a very distinguished Paisley tie and was accompanied by his best man Jake Housley. The ceremony was led by the Revered who explained the promises the happy couple were to make. The congregation were very pleased to be part of such a wonderful occasion. The wedding reception was held in the grounds of D’Eyncourt Primary School which had been beautifully decorated with balloons and silver horse shoes. The best man’s speech was enjoyed by everyone and was followed by the cutting of the wedding cake which was later eaten and enjoyed by Year 1 and 2. The bride and groom’s first dance was enchanting and was performed to a song from the popular High School Musical. The day ended when everyone threw confetti over Sophia and Jack and wished them good luck for their future lives “together!”

We are sad to be losing Mrs Slawinka who is going into a well earned retirement! She will be missed by staff and children alike.
We wish her many happy, healthy and stress free years ahead! |

Our school took part in an Egg Care Challenge to support the work of the Children's Charity Barnardo's. A fundraiser from Barnardo's spoke to the children in an assembly about work being done to help children, young people and their families. The children were offered the chance to decorate and look after a hard boiled egg for one week, while collecting kind donations from family and friends
giving our school the opportunity to make a BIG difference to the children and young people being helped by Barnardo's. |
As part of the forces topic we enjoyed a visit to the park to explore the play equipment. We discussed the forces at work including pushes, pulls, gravity and friction. |

Mothering Sunday
We talked about how important our mums are. We thought about all the things they do for us.
To say a very big ‘thank you’ to our mums we made them a special card. We cut out tulips and arranged them into a shiny collaged vase.
