Thank you @HalesowenWMP for your visit today. It was a really informative and fun experience for our Year 1 and 2 children. @stmargaretsath1

What are the primary colours? What happens when you mix two of them together? Year 1 @stmargaretsath1 have been busy finding out……

Young voices @YVconcerts was an amazing, uplifting experience for our young singers. Our choir members confidently performed a wide range of songs and dance moves as part of a choir of thousands. What a very special evening! @stmargaretsath1

There are certain school days that stay with you forever. I’ve no doubt this one will for these members of our school choir. This was us yesterday eagerly awaiting rehearsals to begin at @YVconcerts. @stmargaretsath1

Year One loved their first return to Forest School even though it was a bit on the chilly side. Thank you so much Miss Evans! @stmargaretsath1

Moving Pictures in Year 1’s DT lesson were made using a slider mechanism. @stmargaretsath1

Our Gladiator themed @BBCCiN day was so much fun! Well done to Year 1 @stmargaretsath1 for raising lots of funds to help others.

Thank you to everyone who attended our maths workshop this morning. The children loved showing off their maths knowledge and spending special time with you in school. @stmargaretsath1

Phew! All 100 found and accounted for. Immensely proud of the reasons Year 1 gave for not giving up on ‘The Lost Sheep.’ @stmargaretsath1

Our foundation subjects are going with a swing in Year 1. Lots of creativity, curiosity and resilience being shown across a range of areas. @stmargaretsath1

Year 1 have begun Science and each house group has chosen a tree to observe through the changing seasons. We look forward to sharing with you what we find out. @stmargaretsath1

Year 1 loved their first taste of Geography fieldwork this week. We used a compass to locate north and drew what we could see in front of us when facing north, south, east and west. @stmargaretsath1

Year 1 learned in History that our buildings at St Margaret’s were built during the reigns of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. We studied each building from the outside to compare them and found this important piece of evidence! @stmargaretsath1

It was great to spend time with everyone who attended our Year 1 Maths Workshop. Our focus was on ways that Numicon can be used to support the children with key concepts at home and at school. We hope you enjoyed it! @stmargaretsath1

Year 1 are feeling so proud of their artwork. These paintings are based on ‘The Cat and the Bird,’ by Paul Klee. The original work made us all smile when we noticed the bird on the cat‘s brow! @stmargaretsath1

Year 1 have been enjoying their Art lessons and so far have taken a pencil for a walk to create lines and explored making marks with charcoal. @stmargaretsath1

Thank you to everyone who attended our Phonics workshop. Our reception children enjoyed showing what they have learned so far! @stmargaretsath1

Year 1 enjoyed their first ever full day trip to the Black Country Living Museum. The highlights, apart from lunchtime of course, were the school lesson, the street toys and learning lots of facts about daily life in the past. @stmargaretsath1 @BCLivingMuseum

Year 1 and Year 4’s visit to Worcester Cathedral today was extremely informative and enjoyable. The children have deepened their understanding of the cathedral as a place of worship and are knowledgeable about many of it’s features. @stmargaretsath1 @WorcCathEduDept
