On Wednesday 31st January 2018, three of our children took part in the ‘Birmingham School Games Talent Competition’. It was held at the Birmingham Hippodrome. Several talents were displayed including a guitar solo, a vocal performance of ‘How Far Ill Go’ and a fantastic gymnastics performance which earned a gold medal and first place! All the children represented the Academy to the highest level and showed what super stars they are!

School Trip to the Community Sports HUB
Friday 19th May
Years 1 to 6 went to the Community Sports HUB to take part in sporting activities such as cricket, rounder’s, football, tennis and boxing. Everyone took part in each activity for 45 minutes. Despite the damp weather lots of fun was had by all. It was great to see all the children showing off what they had learnt in their PE lessons. The teachers have said that it was a fantastic day and great to see the children demonstrating their skill set out side of the classroom. This was great for the children’s physical development and we look forward to having more days like this next year.
Samir Y4 “My favourite sport was the tennis because we had lots of space to play which we don’t normally get in school.”
Tavani Y4 “My Favourite sport was cricket because we don’t normally play big games and I won a medal.”
Amira Y3 “I liked the football because it was really good playing on a proper grass pitch”
Reuben Y5 “Boxing was my favourite because the gym was really nice and I enjoyed using the bags.”

Year 5 and 6 Residential to PGL
This was the first trip with PGL which had lots of great activities for us to do. As soon as the children got off the bus they were greeted by Emma our group leader. Once the children dropped their bags off at their room they were whisked off to get ready for raft building where they were tasked in their groups to design a raft and then test it out on the lake, which I am pleased to say that they showed great team work and all of the groups rafts floated with everyone able to take to the water. After all the fun on the lake it was time for dinner and camp fire where they sat around a fire singing songs with all the other schools on site then off to bed.
After breakfast the next morning they were split off into 3 groups where they rotated around activities such as abseiling, aero ball, climbing, trapeze and problem solving. With the day done and all packed for the trip home the children wasted no time in getting a good night’s sleep. The morning of day three was making sure we were all packed and catching up on the activities they didn’t do the day before.
All in all the children had a great time and had some experiences that they wouldn’t normally get in the classroom as well as finding things about themselves that they might not have known. We look forward to next years!
