the Headteacher

On Friday, Reception spent time exploring and discussing Eid. They learned about how individuals and families celebrate during Eid and compared this festival to others, such as Christmas, Diwali and Chinese New Year. Our Reception children know lots about these special festivals now!✨🎆🎇

A huge well done to Team Lickey for raising such a fabulous amount of money for a super charity! We have had a lovely day raising awareness and doing something funny for money because "funny is power" 💪🏻❤️

We'd like to say a huge thank you to one of our families who kindly brought in bunches of daffodils for everyone to take home and enjoy. We decorated a wrap for them, made observational drawings and even used them in maths to explore doubles. We are so appreciative of our wonderful Spring gift🌼☀️

Our wonderful children from Language Base went on a walk to Lickey Hills Country Park today. They met up with our partner school, Matchborough First School, and had an excellent time socialising with peers🌳🪾

Our Reception children have been learning about and naming the different parts of a plant. They used different fruits and vegetables to represent the roots, stem, leaves, flower and petals🌻🌹🌼

Year 3 and Year 4 had a wonderful morning at Lickey Church on 12th March, participating in an Easter Service for our lovely families. They sang, shared poetry and some of our fabulous, very talented children played instruments. The church was filled with joy!🐣🐥

Wishing all of our fabulous Mummies, Nannies and carers a very happy Mother's Day!🌸 This week Reception enjoyed welcoming their grown ups into school to celebrate them by sharing a delicious jam scone and by playing and crafting in their classrooms🥰❤️

👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬🧪 British Science Week, Day 5: Today we learned lots about reducing, reusing and recycling. We discovered what it means to be sustainable and we had our own 'trash'ion show with outfits made out of recycling. Dr Kirby even made herself a flower blouse! We lined the corridor and we clapped, whooped and cheered as our friends strut their stuff down the corridor in their recycled outfits♻️📦🧃

👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬🧪British Science Week, Day 4: Today we have taken part in various experiments to change the properties of materials. We drew around a piece of bread, toasted it and then drew around it again recognising that the piece of bread had shrunk in size, changed colour and had become a lot harder. We also found that we can turn liquids (water) into solids (ice) by freezing them and that we can turn solids (chocolate) into liquids by melting them🍞🧊🍫

👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬🧪 British Science Week, Day 3: Year 5 have conducted an experiment to identify whether fruit cells could be used as batteries. They experimented with a range of different fruit and tested their voltages. They found that citrus fruits work best, generating the most voltage🍊🍋‍🟩🍋

👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬🧪 British Science Week, Day 2: Year 1 went to EnviroSort, a recycling centre in Worcester. They observed recycling coming into the warehouse on a conveyor belt, going through the crusher and being packed into cubes of recycled materials. Then a forklift came along and took the packed cubes of recycling to be melted down and reused. They also had a session in the EnviroSort classroom and learned lots of facts about recycling. Did you know that black materials are not supposed to be recycled as the machine cannot spot them on the conveyor belt? Did you know that by recycling 1 aluminium can, you can power a microwave to heat 3 microwave meals? Year 1 learned lots at EnviroSort today!🚛🚮
