Spring Vale Primary School

What a fantastic day our Year 3 children had on their trip to Bishops Wood!

As part of their learning about the Romans, the children immersed themselves in Roman life through a range of exciting hands-on activities. They had the opportunity to learn some Latin words, perform in a Roman play, build a Roman road, and even work together to construct a tent without any instructions – showing excellent teamwork, problem-solving and resilience.

The children embraced every challenge with enthusiasm, curiosity and fantastic behaviour throughout the day. We are incredibly proud of them all; they were a real credit to our school and represented us brilliantly.

Well done, Year 3! We hope you enjoyed your Roman adventure as much as we did.

A huge congratulations to Ellie-Mai from Year 3 Buttercups for her amazing achievement! 🌟

Ellie-Mai has won first place in a city-wide competition to design a Christmas Safety Poster – what an incredible accomplishment! 🎨🏆

As a prize, Ellie-Mai and her class have been awarded a special trip to Bilston Fire Station 🚒 — a brilliant opportunity to learn even more about fire safety and meet our local heroes!

We are so proud of your hard work, creativity, and important message about staying safe over the festive season. Well done, Ellie-Mai! 👏🎄

Football Kit Competition ⚽

A big thank you to everyone who entered this year’s football kit design competition – we were blown away by your creativity! ⚽

Congratulations to all of our prize winners, and a special well done to our overall winners 🏆

One of our winning designs was inspired by the Earth, representing how football brings people together from all around the world and unites communities through a shared love of the sport 🌍

Our second winning design celebrated everything that makes Spring Vale special, incorporating our school logo and motto: Together Everyone Achieving More (TEAM). The design truly reflected the spirit of our school community 🩵

⭐ Life-saving skills in Year 6! ⭐

On Tuesday, our Year 6 pupils took part in an incredibly valuable session with Mini First Aid, learning all about CPR and basic first aid. 💙

The children were fully engaged as they discovered how to respond in an emergency, practised chest compressions, and learned how to help someone who isn’t breathing. 🚑 These are essential skills that could one day make a real difference.

We are so proud of their enthusiasm, confidence, and maturity throughout the session – they truly rose to the challenge! 👏

A big thank you to Mini First Aid for delivering such an informative and empowering workshop. Same time next year!

🦎🐍🪶 A Wildly Exciting Visit to Nursery! 🦨✨

Today we had a very special visitor at nursery – the Animal Man! The children were absolutely fascinated as they met a variety of amazing animals up close.

We saw a cockroach, a leopard gecko, a baby boa, a corn snake, a beautiful kookaburra, and even a skunk! 🐾

The children showed fantastic curiosity and bravery, asking lots of questions and learning all about how these animals live, what they eat, and where they come from. There were plenty of smiles (and a few surprised faces too!) as everyone had the chance to take a closer look.

🌊☀️ Year 2 at Weston-super-Mare! ☀️🌊

Our amazing Year 2 children are having a fantastic time at Weston-super-Mare today! 🎉 Right now, they’re enjoying the fresh sea air and taking in the sights, with some brilliant photos in front of the iconic Grand Pier 🎡📸

There are smiles all around as the children explore, laugh with their friends, and make special seaside memories together 🏖️💙

A huge well done to our Year 5 and 6 cricket team who represented the school brilliantly earlier this week at the tournament held at Fordhouses Cricket Club.

Competing against 13 schools, the team finished in an impressive 6th place. Throughout the day, they showed excellent skill, determination and teamwork, batting confidently, bowling accurately and fielding superbly.

We are incredibly proud of the way they conducted themselves both on and off the field, demonstrating great sportsmanship and representing the school with pride.

Well done all! 🏏👏

✨🛍️ EYFS Adventure Street Experience! 🛍️✨

Our Early Years children had a fantastic time on Tuesday as Adventure Street came to visit for a special role play session! 🌟

The hall was transformed into a bustling mini high street, giving our children the opportunity to explore real-life scenarios through imaginative play. From running shops to helping customers, the children immersed themselves in a world of creativity, communication, and collaboration. 🧑‍🍳🛒👩‍⚕️

Role play like this not only sparks imagination but also supports important early skills such as language development, problem-solving, and teamwork. It was wonderful to see so many smiles, confident conversations, and curious minds at work! 💬😊

A big thank you to Adventure Street for bringing this engaging experience to our EYFS children—we loved every minute! 🎉

🌟 What a brilliant term of enrichment clubs at Spring Vale! 🌟

We’ve loved seeing so many of our pupils getting stuck into all the different clubs on offer this term 🙌

From getting creative in Art Club 🎨, to burning off energy in cricket ⚽, to performing in circus skills - there’s been something for everyone! It’s been amazing to see new skills, confidence and friendships growing each week 💫

A massive thank you to our staff - we really appreciate you ❤️
And well done to all of our pupils for giving things a go and making the most of these opportunities… you’ve been fantastic! 👏

We can’t wait to see what next term brings! 😄

Letters for the next round will be out soon - come to see Mrs Kelly with any ideas!

Our EYFS children had an exciting visit from a fire engine today! The firefighters showed us how the engine works and explained the important tools they use to help keep people safe. The children loved seeing the flashing lights and hearing the siren. We learnt about the different ways firefighters help in emergencies, from putting out fires to rescuing people. The visit helped us understand the role of real-life heroes in our community.
