The Meadows Primary School

The Meadows is a small primary school in Madeley Heath. Our children care for one another, their school environment, community and the world which we all share.

The Owl class had a fantastic time @CadburyWorld on Monday. We all learnt lots of interesting facts about how the chocolate is made, about the packaging, about the people that work there and also the history of Cadburys chocolate. We even managed to taste some chocolate. 😍🍫

In Owl class this morning, the children have started a new unit-decimals. To help us with our learning we have been using 10 frames and place value grids. The children did a great job at converting fractions to the equivalent decimal.

The children at The Early years have really been enjoying our new role play area 'The bakery'. After visiting a small victorian bakery at Blist Hill on our school trip, it gave us some inspiration. The children have been busy baking and painting the items to sell in their bakery.
