Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome back, I hope you've all had a lovely, restful half-term. Unbelievably, time is going so quickly and, of course, it is my final half-term at Temple Meadow. I'm loving every minute and soaking up the many joyful things that happen each and every day. Having just delivered a STAR assembly, I already have that 'feel good' feeling as we celebrated all our STARS for this week. There are some nice things planned to celebrate my leaving and one will be a lovely pupil event (much more information to follow regarding that).
In today's STAR assembly, we took the opportunity to present Mrs Bourne with a beautiful bouquet of flowers as she soon goes on paternity leave as her wife is having a baby. Our Temple Meadow team and community wish them both all our love and fingers crossed for a safe delivery.
It was lovely to close the last half-term with our Carnival. Please see below for a comprehensive gallery of images of the day.
Some of our MPs participated in a Pupil Voice conference at West Bromwich Albion Football Club. The focus was on well-being and pupil voice. Our pupils had an opportunity to bid for £2000, and they delivered a really engaging presentation linked to mental health and well-being with a focus on developing our 'takeaway home art packs'. Again, please see our news article below for further information.
We are ever mindful of landmark world events that are in the media and our History lead, Miss Jones, has ensured that we had an in-class resource available to support an understanding of the D-Day Landings commemoration events. In particular, Year 6 have been exploring the history of the event, alongside real life stories linked to families of serving soldiers.
Thank you to those Parents/Carers that are engaging with our new Community Hub, located at the bottom of our KS1 playground, near our Clifton Street entrance.
