    What a monstrously creative day in Year 6! Our brilliant Year 6 pupils swapped pencils for paintbrushes and went on a monster-making mission todayand the results are spooktacular! From googly-eyed grins to tentacled terrors, these little artists let their imaginations run wild as they cut, glued, and painted their very own classroom creatures.

    In beautiful weather, Year 4 children from our Squirrel Hayes First School, Moor First School, Knypersley First School and Kingsfield First School, thoroughly enjoyed the annual year 4 transition festival held at James Bateman on Tuesday 10th June. Leaders from James Bateman and Woodhouse led a carousel of activities including crazy golf, end zone, relays, shooting, golf putting, parachute games, team building, javelin and agility activities. Well done to all the children and a big thank you to the leaders who did a fantastic job!
