On Saturday 8th July Lapal Colts under 7’s played in the Wordsley Wasps football tournament, I am so pleased to say the boys made it to the final and won !
They were undefeated in the tournament and won 2-0 in the final.
Each and everyone of the boys were amazing, focused, committed, dedicated and supportive of each other.
All the hard work and training shone through.
A day the boys will never forget!
The children in year 2 have been working scientifically within their 'growing plants' unit. They planted their sunflower seeds a little while ago and asked questions such as: How long will it take my seed to germinate? How long will it take my sunflower to grow 5cm? How tall will my sunflower grow in four weeks? The children have been busy making sure their sunflowers get the sunlight and water that they need to grow tall and strong.
Well done, year two!
This week, year 6, were visited by SGT Tuck. The children were able to ask questions about how crimes and punishments had changed over time and what were the most common crimes are now. We found out that one of the most common crimes 'theft' this is something that is very similar to crimes in the 1800's. We also found out that there is a law that can still be enforced now from the 1800's - to be in charge of a horse whilst intoxicated. This has allowed the children to prepare for their trip on Thursday to the West Midlands Police Museum.
Miss Davey loved meeting her new class yesterday. They had a great day getting to know one another, playing music with the boomwhackers and creating a mini art gallery display based on Peter H. Reynolds's book, 'The Dot'.
The children have had a lovely day; they have met their new teachers and explored their new classrooms. During our special transition day, the children in year two read ‘The Rainbow Fish’ by Marcus Pfister and discussed our school value of kindness. We then explored what makes a good friend and wrote recipes for friendship. We used our recipes to create our friendship potions. Take a look at our very own rainbow fish. We shared a little bit about ourselves, created scales and popped them on a whole class fish.
Congratulations to our Year 5/6 Maths Championship finalist team. The children completed a range of challenging logic, reasoning and number challenges whilst competing against other Dudley Schools. By aiming high, showing great teamwork and applying their fantastic maths knowledge, they finished 6th overall out of the 12 finalists. We are all so proud of how well they represented Lapal's values of perseverance, cooperation and excellence.
One member of the team even won a special individual prize of 2 tickets to the SpongeBob Musical at Wolverhampton Grand, for his great estimating skills.
The team also couldn't miss the opportunity to have our photo taken with Mayor of Dudley, Councillor Andrea Goddard, who presented the awards.
