Dysregulated children find it difficult to focus on work which is why it’s important that year 2 children complete their emotional check in first. On Friday, we naturally had some tired children so this was a perfect time to get active! myHappymind Rudimental 💜

Sometimes it’s not easy to work as part of a team - especially when you might have got a bit out of practice over the holidays - but 5AW haven’t forgotten - they worked beautifully to “thread” the hoop in teams without letting go - everyone giving their best in PSHE lessons 👏🏻

Set a holiday project they said. Create a model of planets or find out some information about space we said. This young lady begged me to guess what her project was beforehand & I said I hadn’t a clue… #rocketman 🚀 🪐what talented chn there are in Y5! More projects to follow 👏🏻

Imagine my surprise when a space robot paid me a visit on Friday…A great example of why Welford’s children are so wonderful…❤️🤗🥰🤗❤️xxx

2F enjoyed exploring the Arts trail Handsworth Park Legacy WM looking at the various materials used and their properties. They were able to say which piece was their favourite and some gave reasons too. 💜💙

Thank you so much to all parents (and children!) in 5AW who supported our Y5 holiday project homework - I think you’ll agree that they’re all epic - all the way from excellent facts to our very own rocketman! 🚀 Such super efforts and FANTASTIC quality 🪐☄️🛸🛰️

Fortners Forest School… 2F enjoyed some time outdoors creating their own leaf artwork. They also enjoyed a little peaceful meditation too. Look at their wonderful designs…

Year 3 had an amazing visit to St Mary's Convent last week. The children were fascinated with the 'old' pictures, examples of traditional nun's clothing, winding corridors, statues and the very beautiful chapel. The children were a credit to the school 😁

Y4 enjoyed recapping partitioning place value from previous years and were able to use concrete resources independently in their starter activity today. White Rose Education
