Year 3 & 4 Cricket Event – Well Done! Yesterday, our Year 3 & 4 children proudly represented Temple Meadow Primary School at a cricket event against other schools – and we couldn't be prouder! The children took part in several matches, played fantastically and worked brilliantly as a team. Their determination, teamwork and excellent sportsmanship shone throughout the day, helping them reach the semifinal – an amazing achievement! Well done to all the children involved and thank you to the staff who supported them. A wonderful day of sport and teamwork for everyone

A Wonderful Day at WILD Zoological Park Our Reception children had a fantastic day on their visit to Wild Zoological today! Despite the heat, they were an absolute credit to our school – curious, polite and full of enthusiasm from start to finish. A huge thank you to our amazing staff team for organising such a smooth and welltimed trip and to our family volunteers for your invaluable support – we truly couldn't do it without you. Seeing the children's smiles and excitement throughout the day was a perfect reminder of just how important these experiences are. We are so proud of our Reception superstars!

Final Chick Update from Year 2 Our Year 2 chick adventure has nearly come to a very special close and what a wonderful learning journey it has been! Over the past days, the children have loved watching the chicks grow, change and become more confident, deepening their understanding of life cycles, care and responsibility. It has been a joy to see the children show such kindness, curiosity and respect towards the chicks throughout the experience. We are delighted to share that one of our school families has very kindly offered to take the chicks from us and give them a loving new home, where they will be safely rehomed and well cared for. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and support. Thank you to everyone who has followed along with our updates and helped make this such a memorable and meaningful experience for our Year 2 children.

Year 1 & 2 Arts and Crafts After School Club This week in Arts and Crafts Club, our children were inspired by The BFG by Roald Dahl! After watching clips from the film and exploring the story, we talked about dreams, wishes and the things that make us feel happy. Children then designed their very own Dream Jars! Inside each jar, they drew or wrote their happy dreams and things that mean the most to them. To finish, they each made a special wish and carefully "poured" in the ingredients to bring their dream jar to life. We loved seeing their creativity, imagination and thoughtful ideas shine through!

Let's Talk Magazine – Supporting Children's Safety and Wellbeing We're pleased to share Let's Talk Magazine from Protective Behaviours Training – a thoughtful and engaging publication designed to help adults have important conversations with children about feelings, safety and choice. The magazine offers practical ideas, child-friendly activities and reassuring messages that support children to feel safe, listened to and confident. It's a great resource for families and professionals alike. Together, by talking openly and positively, we can help children develop the skills they need to keep themselves safe.
