  • The Smith's Wood Jubilee Jamboree!

    Published 27/05/22

    We have had a fantastic variety of fun filled lessons and activities this week to help us celebrate our Queen's Platinum Jubilee. From solving the Queen's Mystery in Maths, writing the Queen's biography in Literacy; to making biscuits for the Street Party in D&T - we have had an incredible week! 

     

    Our Friday has been just as fabulous; dressed in red, white and blue, and a visit to each Year Group's stall at our Jubilee Fete - we had lots of fun! We are delighted to have added a royal theme to our learning this week and to take part in completing our '70 Things for 70 Years' theme in our School.

     

    The 'Design a Coronation Portrait' winners are; 

    Olly - 3LB 

    Liam - RHP

    This was a hard choice as there were lots of entries and the standard was very high. Well done everyone!

  • Year 5 Girls Show Off Their Roar-some Football Skills!

    Published 26/05/22

    YR5 Girls were transported to the wonderful world of Disney, most notably Pride Rock, for some Lion King themed football coaching with the Aston Villa professional footballer Nat Haigh.
    Smith's Wood playing field was transformed into an African savannah where giraffes, elephants and even lions roamed free!
    Our very own Smith's Wood lionesses bravely attempted to escape an elephant graveyard, navigate a perilous jungle and outwit a dangerous clan of hyenas whilst protecting their own Zazu!
    An excellent array of skills were on display in earnest. Well done to the Year 5 girls for completing the numerous complex levels and showing an abundance of both determination and resilience.

  • Year 6 Kingsbury Water Park Trip

    Published 20/05/22

    On Friday 13th May - there was nothing unlucky in year 6, as we headed to Kingsbury Water Park. This was a reward trip for pupils who had completed the target amount of SATs Bootcamp sessions; many of whom had put in 8 extra hours across the previous two weeks!

    Pupils enjoyed a picnic lunch and an afternoon of being themselves playing on the play area and participating in a multitude of sports in the beautiful countryside setting. We are very proud of the extra effort shown by these pupils and staff!
