A week in the sun following a very busy term ☀️🌊

Super pleased to have passed my NPQ with BestPracticeNetwork in Leading Teaching @ElmTreeAcademy ! 😃📚📑

Group 1 from Yew class visited the Black Country Living Museum yesterday. They explored toys from the past, rode on the bus and got to visit the shop to practise buying and purchasing different items. @ElmTreeAcademy #courage #curiosity #excellence

Group 2 from Yew Class are on their way to the Black Country Museum 😀 @ElmTreeAcademy

Wow! What a fabulous experience for Yew class children from @ElmTreeAcademy at the Black Country Living Museum today! We explored transport, old toys and games and got to play lots of instruments! Victoria Academies Trust

Following our trip last week, we have experienced a music session today in school. We have used different objects to make different sounds. @ElmTreeAcademy #curiosity #courage #unity #excellence

As Mathematicians, we read who sank the boat and then experimented with different items that would sink or float based on our own predictions. It was great to see Yew class wanting to further test items from around our classroom! #curiosity #excellence #unity @ElmTreeAcademy

Open Theatre provided pupils @ElmTreeAcademy with an immersive theatre performance. It was fantastic to see all pupils fully engaged with different props and resources throughout! Lots of giggles and smiles all round. #curiosity #courage #unity #excellence Victoria Academies Trust

Yew class have been learning about road safety in preparation for their walk to Lidl. Today we walked around our car park, using the zebra crossings to cross safely. We used our checklist to look for different things as we walked around. @ElmTreeAcademy #excellence #curiosity

Yew class are following instructions as part of our immersive reading topic. Our focus story is Alice in Wonderland and today we made a potion smoothie to drink like Alice did. Great independence and food preparation skills from everyone! @ElmTreeAcademy #excellence #curiosity

It was lovely to be able to share our sports day with parents today @ElmTreeAcademy #curiosity #excellence #courage

Yew class have fully immersed themselves into our new Seeds of Writing programme, developed by Lisa at @ElmTreeAcademy We have been following lines using vehicles, tracing lines and shapes, following a maze and copying a range of patterns to help develop our control.

Continuing with our genre of instructions, we made our own fruit skewers today in Yew Class. We followed our activity sequence to cut and peel different pieces of fruit before adding them onto the skewer stick! Great independence! @ElmTreeAcademy #curiosity #unity #courage

To celebrate World Music Day Yew class have explored instruments from around the world. We loved listening to different pieces of music and playing different instruments. @ElmTreeAcademy #curiosity #courage

What a fantastic opportunity for Yew Class today! They have been out into our local community to @LidlGB to purchase the ingredients we need to make the food for our tea party with parents tomorrow afternoon! @ElmTreeAcademy Victoria Academies Trust #excellence #unity #curiosity #courage

I am so proud of our learning journey in Yew Class this term. Our focus has been Me in My World and we have incorporated following instructions, accessing our local environment and exploring traditions of other cultures. @ElmTreeAcademy Victoria Academies Trust Just WOW⭐️⭐️

A very interesting watch tonight BBC One Every child has the right to an education! Parents should not be exhausting every avenue to make this happen. Our children are so lucky @ElmTreeAcademy to have adults that champion and advocate for what they deserve. #bbcpanorama

What a fabulous opportunity!!
