Standon Bowers
Pupils in Class 4 had a super time at
Standon Bowers as the sun shone down
on them. They took part in wall climbing,
archery and den building along with
toasting marshmallows on the evening
camp fire. The setting was beautiful, the
facilities were great and the children got
so much out of their visit.
Scholar of the Week:
Callam in class 9 has been
nominated for his work in Media. Ms
Evans said ‘ We needed extra
support this week and it was like
having an extra TA who fully
supported staff and students.
Callam worked with and mentored
another student, helping him to
animate a sequence in a morning.
No complaints – just pitched in –
amazing!!’
Mrs Ansell has also nominated
Daniel because he has been
settling in so well whilst transitioning
into Class 6.
Holly has also been nominated for
being such a helpful friend.
What a great effort Callam, Daniel
and Holly. We are very proud of
you.

Make Some Noise
Make Some Noise is one of the leading music charities in the West Midlands. Their vision is that
the lives of children and young people will be significantly enhanced by opportunities to make
music. They explore innovative approaches that work towards better access to music. They
have an incredible team of professional musicians trained to work with a
variety of groups from babies, toddlers and their families, to challenging or
excluded young people, in community centres, theatres, schools or
specialist forensic and psychiatric units helping to build confidence, skills
and experience in music making. We are extremely lucky that Make Some
Noise have chosen to work with us on a collaborative 6 week project. Kurly
and James have been and will be exploring the potential of an I-pad
orchestra with James and have taken undertaken Workshops in
Beatboxing/Rapping with Kurly – Classes 3, 4 6 & 7 have all taken part.
Make some Noise have heavily subsidised the workshops and we are incredibly grateful to
them for providing us with this opportunity.
