On Monday, some Year 6 pupils had the amazing opportunity to visit Westminster in London to discover the Houses of Parliament. Each child was selected as they are one of our 'young leaders' (this means they are either a House Captain, Peer Listener, Wellbeing Warrior or SWAG representative). These 12 children have also been attending a club each week in the lead up to this visit to learn more about politics. 

The day started with going to Birmingham International and taking the train to Euston Station. Once we arrived, we had to get the underground tube from Euston to Embankment, where we walked along the River Thames towards the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Our morning was spent being given a tour of the Houses of Parliament from Gill, who showed us the House of Commons and the House of Lords, which was an incredible experience. After the tour, we were able to have lunch with our local MP - Saqib Bhatti - who asked us all about the debates we've been having in our parliament club. 

Not only did we get to tour the Houses of Parliament, but we also had the chance to go onto Downing Street and have our photos outside number 10, where we even saw the famous 10 Downing Street cat named Larry! Throughout the day, we were able to talk to many different people who worked in politics and for our government.

During the visit to London, we also got to walk to Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and see the London Eye! Everyone had an incredible time  and were thankful for the once in a lifetime opportunity.

Year 1 enjoyed a magical space themed day filled with fun activities to bring our fantastic ‘Man on the Moon’ topic to an end. In Maths, the children used shapes and nets to create rockets. We listened to a real-life Astronaut who told us a story from her rocket in space - it was amazing! Then, we wrote instructions to make a rocket in Phonics. In the afternoon, we practically made our rocket from lots of different materials, designed a space suit and completed an obstacle course for the final stage of Space Camp. All Year 1 children impressed staff with their enthusiasm and attitude towards activities, we really did have “The BEST day ever!”

Last night, Year 4's brightest mathematicians took to the hall to compete in the house Maths competition. Tensions were high as the rounds tested our great mathletes, pushing their problem-solving skills and perseverance to the limits. After 6 maths-filled rounds full of challenges, our junior maths experts showed their determination with a last minute win by Spider house!

Well done to spider house and everyone who competed, for more pictures from the night, please see our gallery

On Wednesday afternoon, 4BB had a fantastic time enjoying their attendance reward treat at Hollywood Bowl Resorts World. As pupils had the best attendance for the Autumn term, they enjoyed a tasty meal alongside unlimited bowling as part of their reward.

"The food was really nice and we had the best time ever!" quoted Maizie.
