      • Pupil of the Week

        Published 04/11/22

        Each week, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils can be recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons. They may have excelled in a particular subject through the week; may have shown one, or more, of the school values in abundance, or they may have impressed their teacher, or other staff members with a huge amount of effort. Whatever they are nominated for, they are recognised in the whole school achievement assembly, receive a certificate to take home and get to wear one of our prestigious black and gold t-shirts.

      • Outdoor Learning Day!

        Published 04/11/22

        Since it began in 2011 Outdoor Learning Day has become the World's biggest celebration of outdoor play and learning and the farthest reaching global movement campaigning for time outdoors everyday for all children.

        Their goals are; 1. Outdoor learning as part of every school day

                                     2. A consistent minimum target for playtime

                                     3. Schools to advocate for more time outdoors

        Here at Smith's Wood Primary Academy we are proud of our Outdoor Learning Spaces and the fact that every child is given the opportunity to take part in Outdoor Learning sessions throughout the year.

        Please take the time to look at the photographs from our Outdoor Classroom Day on Thursday 3rd November.

All Things Wild was a day of fun, exploring and adventure as we got close to some of the prehistoric giants, had a dino train ride around the dinosaur enclosure, as well as get to see a range of animals still around today. Some of us were even brave enough to take on the barefoot walk. A great day had by all!

      • The Black Country Living Museum

        Published 14/10/22

        Yesterday, year 6 pupils had the opportunity to visit the Black Country Living Museum and experience what life was like for children during the Victorian era. Whilst there, the children had the chance to walk around the town, exploring the sweet shop, hardware shop and chemist. They also walked along the canals, looking at the narrow boats and watching a chain-making and nail-making demonstration. As well as this, all 60 children participated in a Victorian school lesson; learning their alphabet backwards, recalling times tables, and even watching Mr Taylor get the cane! This was all followed by some delicious fish and chips for lunch, a visit to the cinema to see a silent 'Laurel and Hardy' film and an insightful talk about coal mining. A fantastic way to end a truly brilliant Victorian topic.

      • Hello Yellow!

        Published 11/10/22

        Smith's Wood Primary Academy took part in this year’s #HelloYellow campaign to support young people’s mental health and raise money for Young Minds charity. 

        Staff and children accessorised with a little something yellow, and enjoyed taking part in a fitness for mental health and mindfulness activity. There was a lovely atmosphere around the school and lots of smiles! We raised awareness of mental health including how we can look after our mental health, people we can talk to if we are struggling, and how we can help others.

        We raised £260.60 for Young Minds. Thank you for all donations!
