We are so proud to have so many talented children in our school. You should all be very proud of yourselves! Well done, Jess, Heidi and Peyton! 👏💚

Year 1 welcomed our local School Crossing Patrol Officer to learn all about road safety. The children explored the rules for crossing the road safely and took part in role-play activities to practise what they had learnt. They also sang the ‘Stop, Look, Listen’ song to help them remember the important steps when crossing the road.

Our Wellbeing Ambassadors continued their work on the 'Health Champions' program with Grace from the Wolves Foundation. The children were joined by Wolves Academy U21 players Max Nolan-Ruddock and Lewys Benjamin who came to support the session. The group planned their wellbeing art challenge that they have worked on over recent weeks. The group were also joined by Tom Varty who has supported at Elston Hall delivering the 'Wolf Wise' sessions last term. The Ambassadors will co

A huge well done to 10 participants of our netball club who represented Elston Hall at the most recent Netball Hub event at Our Lady & St Chads. The children played against other local schools demonstrating their netball skills in a fun and friendly way.

We look forward to future hub events ahead of the official netball tourn

Children in Year 3 have been learning all about the human skeleton and discovering how our bones help to support and protect our bodies. As part of their exploration, they used masking tape to identify and recreate the different bones that make up their ribcage. This hands-on activity encouraged the children to develop their understanding of the structure of the human body, while learning how our ribs protect important organs, such as our heart and lungs.

Elston B were back in action again, this time taking on Uplands Primary School! Elston got off to a flying start, finding themselves 1-0 up within the first five minutes thanks to a fantastic strike from Matheson from outside the box! ⚽ Uplands responded quickly, attacking down our right-hand side before delivering a cross into the box, which their striker met and calmly slotted into the bottom corner. At half-time, it was all square at 1-1, with everything still to play for!

It’s been lots of fun in Reception! We enjoyed a visit from our local PCSO, who taught us how to stay safe when out and about. The children loved learning about the police uniform and even had the chance to try it on! We also celebrated Diwali, the Festival of Lights. The children created colourful rangoli patterns, made their own diya lamps and enjoyed some traditional dancing. We had a wonderful time learning about this special festival and its traditions.

In English, Year 1 followed a set of instructions to make a sandwich – but not a normal sandwich! The children made their very own swamp sandwiches for Shrek! Soil and leaves were even included on the ‘You Will Need’ list! You’ll be pleased to know that we didn’t eat them, but we had so much fun following the instructions and bringing our swampy creations to life!

Year 1 became animal experts this week as they took on the role of poo detectives in their science lesson! By carefully examining different types of animal poo, the children investigated whether it belonged to a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore. There was lots of brilliant scientific thinking, interesting discussions and plenty of giggles as they discovered how an animal’s diet can provide important clues about what it eats.

We are incredibly proud to share that Jess has been selected to represent the West Midlands County Team at Aston Villa’s Brookvale Academy! ⚽ From playing her very first school football game back in Year 4 to now representing her county, Jess has come such a long way and improved massively!

Another fantastic win for our girls, this time against fellow trust school Palmers Cross Primary! Elston made a slow start to the game, but Jess showed great cleverness to find the corner of the net and put us 1-0 ahead. The game remained 1-0 for a while, with Elston piling on the pressure but struggling to find that second goal. That was until Jess picked up the ball in the middle of the pitch, drove forward and smashed it into the bottom corner to make it 2-0. Jess then com

A huge thank you to Tammy and Tom for taking the time to come along, watch our girls train and mak

Year 3 had a fantastic day at Tanglewood, stepping back in time to experience life in the Stone Age! When we arrived, the children impressed everyone with their knowledge and amazing Stone Age facts. They then headed outdoors to build their own shelters - Would their shelters withstand the watering can test? Every single shelter passed! What an achievement! The children also had the exciting opportunity to learn how to start a fire using flint before heading indoors to enjoy
