Alderman Jacobs goes for gold!

On Wednesday 13th March 2024, some of the children in Years 4,5 & 6 visited London to watch Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre

On Friday 8th of March Alderman Jacobs held their annual careers day. This was a fantastic opportunity for the children to hear about a range of aspirational careers throughout our community and in the wider world. 

Alderman Jacobs received a donation of 'hi-vis' bag tags for Walk to School Month from Barretts' Homes.

Walk to School Month takes place during October each year and encourages pupils to celebrate the journey to school on foot.

The children were very lucky last week when we had an exciting musical visitor in school. Ollie Timner used to be a member of the famous rhythm group called Stomp and he now runs class workshops with children teaching and playing a variety of different musical styles and genres.

Each Key Stage 2 class had a group session where they got to play a range of Samba instruments and compose and create large compositions as a class. The children had opportunities to try all of the instruments and perform together for an extended amount of time.

Early Years and Key Stage 1 went to a Body Percussion workshops where they learned a range of rhythmic patterns using different parts of their bodies. 

The children were enthusiastic and engaged really well with Ollie. He was inspiring and made the sessions lively and a lot of fun. We are hoping to be able to have the opportunity to be able to work with Ollie again soon!
