Our Year 1 children have had a magical time at Forest School this week
They explored the autumn leaves then made leaf confetti to make their very own autumn wands.
It was wonderful to see so much imagination and joy as they brought a little sparkle to the forest!
In Forest School we harvested two crisp cucumbers straight from our garden. Our enthusiastic young foragers gave them a good wash and brought them to Mrs. Humphries, who kindly sliced them up. Mrs Bate… verdict? “Delicious!” and “Nice and fresh!”
Our EYFS explorers had a fantastic day at Weston-super-Mare in the sunshine! The children built sandcastles, splashed in the waves, enjoyed donkey rides and ice creams - the perfect seaside adventure!
Huge thanks to our EYFS team and parents for ensuring such smooth organisation.
Netherbrook has achieved the RHS Level 2 School Gardening Award! A huge well done to all our amazing pupils and staff who have worked so hard. Your enthusiasm, teamwork and green fingers have paid off! As part of this fantastic achievement, we’ve received a £50 voucher!
Our Reception class had a brilliant time exploring different ways to travel. They started our journey at Cradley Heath station, hopping aboard the train to Stourbridge. The excitement on their faces as the train pulled into the station was priceless!
It was fantastic to welcome so many parents into Forest School to see all the amazing things the children have been growing. From making popcorn on the fire to creating Sidney our beautiful stone snake, the children loved sharing their hard work and experiences with you all.
What a fantastic day our Year 4 class had at the safari park! The sun was shining, and we were incredibly lucky to see so many amazing animals up close. Every single child was a credit to the school, showing excellent behaviour and making us all incredibly proud.
