Kestrels started their new topic of 'Plants' today, and we began by talking about what plants are and why they are important. We then moved on to what helps them to grow and be healthy: water, nutrients from soil, light, air and room to grow. We decided to investigate what would happen if we removed one of these variables. Hopefully, we'll see some results over the next few weeks. Green fingers crossed!
🥇 1st Place: Ash with Sing — a thoughtful performance with a strong spiritual theme and meaningful lyrics.
🥈 2nd Place: Oak with I’m a Believer — full of energy and enthusiasm.
🥉 Joint 3rd Place: Elm with Livin’ on a Prayer and Beech with Heaven Is a Place on Earth — both performances featured fantastic “rocking out” moments and enthusiastic singing.
A special mention goes to Dylan, who truly stole the show with his inflatable guitar performance!
Well done to all the children for such a super competition.

On Monday, the Merlins class had great fun investigating water resistance and friction. The pupils explored how water resistance is a type of frictional force and discussed how it affects objects moving through water.
They carried out experiments to discover which shapes had the greatest and least water resistance, making careful observations and recording their results. The class enjoyed comparing their findings and thinking about why certain shapes moved more easily through the water than others.
The Merlins also planned their own investigation to answer the question: Which shoe had the greatest friction? They considered how to make the test fair and discussed the variables they would need to control to ensure reliable results.
Martley and Tenbury Safer Neighbourhood Officer PC Jones attended our school on Wednesday accompanied by a Traffic Enforcement Officer from Malvern Council.

Year 5 and 6 had an amazing trip to Young Voices in Birmingham, where they spent the day singing and dancing to the songs they have been learning over recent weeks. The highlight was performing as part of a huge choir in front of parents, which was a fantastic and memorable experience for everyone involved. Although the children were very tired by the end of the day, it was a truly worthwhile trip that they enjoyed immensely. We are already looking forward to preparing for next year’s visit.
On Wednesday, Skylarks had a lovely morning at The Chantry. The children practised lots of different skills and thoroughly enjoyed the morning.
