Dear parents and carers, What a wonderful final week of this half term we have had with the children engaged throughout the curriculum. All of this enhanced by a trip to the theatre, a trip to the transport museum, family learning workshops, a swimming gala, rugby tournament and Leavers Gala auditions!

Year 4 Royal Ballet I had the privilege of joining Year 4 on Wednesday afternoon to watch Birmingham Royal Ballet perform ‘The Seasons’ and ‘Peter and the Wolf’ at Malvern Theatres. The children were captivated by the performance and were able to spot sequences of movements that they had learnt in their workshop last week. ‘The music was harmonious, the dancers were beautiful and the whole show was fun.’ Alana

‘The best part in my opinion was Peter and the Wolf as I really enjoyed it when they danced.’ Szymon

‘I liked all of it because they practised a lot. I preferred the second part though because there were different props in the background.’ Izaak

‘I loved all the ballet but my favourite bit was when the cat was chasing the bird up the tree. I also like the Four Seasons because they did many amazing ballet tricks.’ Lucy C

A wonderful Royal Ballet performance

‘Their jumping was good because they landed them properly and they went really high.’ George S

‘It was really good to watch because it looked like they did it all from scratch.’ Josh B

‘It was my favourite school trip. The lifts were perfect and I looked for mistakes but there were none!’ Juniper

‘I've never been to a school trip like that.

The ballet dancers made it look really easy. When I tried at home it was a complete failure.’ Lily Q

‘It was a very fun performance and I could see that it wasn't only me who loved it!’ Lucy C

‘I didn't understand the first performance of 'Seasons' but when it went to 'Peter and the Wolf', I loved it!’ Fynn

Tag Rugby Tournament The Tag Rugby Tournament we went to on Friday 17th May, which took place at Malvern Rugby Club, was a fun experience. Even though we didn’t win, we had the opportunity to play against many talented schools who played fairly and were hard competition. We tried our best and won most of our matches. At the very end, we had to be tested on our abilities against one of the best schools ever; we ended up playing against the other team of Somers Park. The referees were good as they made sure we were playing properly and that the match was fair. A great day had by all! By Molly and Ellie 6ME

Reception enjoying the train ride

Transport Museum The Reception children had a fantastic visit to Wythall Transport Museum. They looked at lots of different types of buses and even got to sit on the top floor of an open double decker bus. They enjoyed lunch in the sun with their Malvern Vale friends then enjoyed a ride on a mini steam engine. They finished their day off with the opportunity to have a sit in different types of delivery vans and even met a real milk maid!
