Year 5 & 6 MPs at the SHAPE Primary Conference On Wednesday, our Year 5 and Year 6 MPs had a fantastic day attending the SHAPE Primary Conference, taking part in four exciting workshops throughout the day. We began with a NatWest budgeting workshop, where the children worked together in different roles to design a playground while learning about managing money. Next, Box Clever delivered an energetic session focused on the four principles of boxing – respect, resilience, focus and discipline – alongside learning some basic boxing moves. The children then enjoyed a healthy eating workshop with Choices, during which they designed their own healthy lunchboxes. We finished the day with an engaging workshop led by Creativ Hub, based in Cradley Heath, where the children learned about graphic design and created their own logos. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day and represented our school brilliantly, demonstrating excellent manners, enthusiasm and engagement throughout. We are very proud of them!

Easter Holiday Reading Challenge – Year 6 Morpurgo During the Easter holidays, children in 6 Morpurgo were set a fun challenge: Take a photo of yourself reading in the most unusual place you can find! We were so impressed with the creativity and enthusiasm - there were some fantastic and imaginative reading spots! Thank you to our families for supporting this challenge and for encouraging reading beyond the classroom - we love seeing our children enjoying books in such memorable ways!

Reception Offers Day Today is Reception Offers Day and we know it is an exciting time for many families. If you applied for Temple Meadow, we do hope you have been allocated a place with us. Once we receive our confirmed list of children, we will be in touch soon with further information about next steps and upcoming arrangements. We look forward to welcoming our new Reception families very soon!

Celebrating Wellbeing Through Yoga Over the past few weeks, children in Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 have taken part in some wonderful stretching, yoga and mindfulness sessions as part of our whole-school wellbeing programme. The children loved slowing down, moving mindfully and learning simple breathing and relaxation techniques to support their emotional and physical wellbeing. These sessions helped develop flexibility, balance, focus and most importantly, provided calm and positive moments within the school day. It has been lovely to see the children so engaged, confident and reflective during these sessions, building skills they can use both in school and at home. A big thank you to everyone involved in making these experiences so meaningful for our children. We're proud to continue nurturing wellbeing across our school community

Welcome Back, Temple Meadow Families! We hope all our children and families enjoyed a wonderful Easter break filled with rest, fun, and time together. As we return to school, we're excited to welcome everyone back for the start of the summer term - always one of the most exciting and memorable parts of the school year! Our children have so much to look forward to over the coming weeks and we can't wait to see their fantastic learning, teamwork, and creativity continue to shine. Here's to a brilliant term ahead!
