We always welcome our parents into school to help us in many ways. Dr De La Pena has been helping Year 1 find out about their amazing bodies.  Have a look at Year 1’s page and see what they’ve been learning. 

We are unable to use our wonderful three-acre field due to a natural spring which leaves our field flooded for most of the year. However we have been shortlisted in the ‘Tesco Bags of Help’ initiative to win £5,000, which will allow us to install vital drainage. The Tesco scheme, in conjunction with Groundwork, sees grants of £5,000, £2,000 and £1,000 – all raised from the 5p bag levy – awarded to outdoor community projects. We are desperate to beat two other projects to win the top grant, as second and third place prizes will not be enough to fund a permanent solution to the issue.

Voting is open in stores until February 25, with the nearest sites including Bromsgrove Express in Marlbrook, Barnt Green Express, Rubery Metro and Frankley Express.

Well done to our amazing Singing Group who went to the Genting Arena in Birmingham to perform in a choir of 6,583 people! Have a look at the photographs on the Curriculum > Music > Young Voices page to see just how much fun everyone had. Mrs Landon said everyone performed brilliantly and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thank you to everyone involved – we love our music at Lickey!

The theme for our assemblies this half term is appreciation. The new year is a good time to reflect and be thankful for what we have, for saying thank you to others for all they do for us and doing things for others to show our appreciation. Look out for the pupils of Lickey Hills being appreciative in their words and actions. 

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to Lickey Hills Primary School and Nursery for 2017. 

Beautiful singing and wonderful costumes ! Everyone visiting said how much they enjoyed the Nursery and Reception class performances of old and new Christmas songs. It was great to see everyone joining in and enjoying the opportunity to perform on our stage. I’m sure you’ll hear lots of the songs over again this holiday! Well done EYFS and merry Christmas to you all. 

Congratulations to everyone in KS1 for their excellent Christmas performance ‘Baubles’. What a super story you told with your songs, dances and clear, confident voices. Our visiting families and friends passed on many lovely comments about your show. Well done all – a great team effort! 

Many thanks to everyone who attended the concert and prize giving at Holy Trinity Church, Lickey last Sunday. Our fabulous choir will be singing again on December 14th at St. John’s Church, all welcome.
