Exciting HugglePets News! We're thrilled to share that starting next school year, we'll be welcoming Murphy, a certified therapy dog from HugglePets, to visit us every Thursday afternoon! Murphy is a gorgeous red fox retriever who absolutely loves playing fetch and, even more importantly, helping children look after their wellbeing and learning. Alongside his handler, Hannah, Murphy will work with our children to boost confidence, resilience and social skills, and support anyone who might be struggling with school worries or personal challenges. Important: If your child has allergies or a strong fear of dogs, please email us at tm.admin@meadow.sandwell.sch.uk so we can make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. We can't wait to see the amazing impact Murphy and Hannah will have on our school community. Thank you for continuing to support our fundraising efforts, including at our Summer Festival next week, which will help us make all of this possible.

LAST CALL! Today is the deadline to hand in your £2 to the School Office for face painting at our Summer Festival on Wednesday! Don't miss out on the fun - make sure you provide consent via the MCAS app. Thank you for your support!

What an incredible afternoon we had on Thursday! Our amazing Year 6 pupils enjoyed a fantastic end of year celebration with a lively carnival theme. From delicious food and music to exciting outdoor activities, there were smiles all around as we made special memories together. A huge thank you to our wonderful staff for organising such a fun-filled event and for capturing those precious moments. We're so proud of our Year 6 children and wish them all the best as they move on to their next adventure! Well done Year 6 – you've been brilliant!

On Friday, we had a wonderful time celebrating French Friday in school to mark Bastille Day! The children looked fantastic dressed in red, white and blue, proudly showing off the colours of the French flag. Throughout the day they took part in a range of exciting activities - from building their own Eiffel Towers, to learning and performing French songs and practising their French language skills in real-life scenarios. We ended the day with a lovely whole-school French-style picnic on the field, just like they do in France to celebrate Bastille Day. It was a fantastic day full of learning, laughter and French culture. Merci beaucoup to everyone who made it so special!

Nursery Beach Day! What a wonderful time our Nursery children had on Thursday as we brought the seaside to Temple Meadow! Dressed in their fabulous blue and beach-themed outfits, the children enjoyed a fun-filled day packed with beach activities, including: Decorating cupcakes with sea creatures Playing in the sand and building sandcastles Splashing in the water trays Chasing beach balls Sensory play where they 'made' their own ice creams We even had a lovely little 'picnic at the beach' together. It was a joyful day full of smiles, laughter and plenty of seaside magic right here at school. Thank you to all our families for helping the children come dressed for the occasion - they all looked brilliant!
