Reception had a fantastic time soaking the playground with the fireman’s hose when West Midlands Fire Service came to visit.

In Science this term, our Year 6 pupils performed a heart dissection to understand more about the respiratory system. They acted with both precision and care during the whole procedure! We most certainly have heart surgeons of the future in our school!

Class 5 became ‘Master Chefs’ when, as part of their Design and Technology, they cooked up a seasonal vegetable soup. Soup has many healthy benefits which is why it is served at soup kitchens across the country. A soup kitchen is a place where free food is served to those who are homeless. Soup kitchens depend on volunteers, particularly at this time of year, so please contact your local one (Dudley) if you’d like to know how you can help.

Our ‰inal word goes to our School Councillors who have been particularly busy this term helping to engage sta‰‰ and pupils at Blowers Green in ‰undraising activities.

On the 12th November we encouraged everyone at Blowers Green to wear odd socks! It was a great way to highlight Anti-Bullying Week and celebrate what makes us all unique! The theme of Anti-Bullying Week was 'Change Starts With Us', which encourages us all to make small changes to

create a safe environment for everyone.

We all ‘got together’ this year for Pudsey Day to help raise money for Children in Need. Making posters, dressing up or decorating ourselves

with something spotty was a really fun way to promote and raise money for such a good cause.
