The Raddlebarn Strings Ensemble

The Raddlebarn Strings Ensemble performed in the Area Schools Gala Concert on Monday evening at the prestigious Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.  Our ensemble is a group of committed musicians who meet every week after school to play and rehearse together, as well as practising their pieces at home. They performed brilliantly, oozing with confidence, to a packed auditorium. We are extremely proud of them all!
Our thanks go to Mrs Muncey, their conductor and leader, the staff who support the group with rehearsals and getting to concerts, the families who encourage our musicians, but, most of all, to our wonderful musicians themselves for their hard work and dedication.

Girls’ Football

On Tuesday, our Y3/4 girls played their first matches indoors at Selly Park Girls’ School. They scored some incredible goals and worked very well as a team, with one team topping the group! Watch this space for more fixtures!
 
This afternoon (Thursday), our football team took on both Water Mill  & Bells Farm. Whilst we must congratulate our opponents on their narrow victories, Mr. Orgill and Mr. Weatherup were impressed by the improvement and positive attitude shown by our players. It was a fantastic performance and played in great spirits!

TTRockstars Day

What a fantastic day we had! It was amazing to see so many children in their rockstar outfits. Throughout the day the children participated in times tables battles. They battled the other class in their year group. They earnt points for each correct multiplication sum they completed on TTRockstars during the allotted time. The points earnt in their year group battle also counted towards a whole school boys v girls times tables battle! The children were so excited and motivated. It was great to see.

As well as the TTRockstars battles, each year group completed a maths activity/investigation linked to multiplication. Some year groups also read a maths story and then had a go at writing their own maths-based stories! The children were engrossed in their learning. 

Thank you to the children for their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn during TTRockstars Day. You’re all maths superstars!
