Welcome
Although I can tell you what I believe makes Astwood Bank so special, look at the school through the eyes of the people who make it what it is – our pupils, staff and parents.
Our aim is to offer all pupils a broad and stimulating curriculum that recognises the importance of providing pupils with the basic skills of literacy and numeracy. We want the children in our care to sparkle, to reach their full potential and learn skills for life through a creative curriculum. We hope they will look back fondly with treasured memories of their time at Astwood Bank Primary School.

Did someone say HALF-TERM? 📣
Time to celebrate reaching the end of a successful first half-term with another viral challenge: The Digidi Digidi Dance 🎊
Another one for the rhythm, timings, and just a bit of fun! ✨
Happy Half Term to everyone! 💙
🌾 HARVEST SHOWCASE 🌾
And that’s a wrap on our Year 4 Harvest Showcase! 🌾🍂
After weeks of incredible hard work, the children absolutely shone today and did themselves so proud 🌟
We hope all the parents loved hearing their wonderful songs, expressive poems, and thoughtful prayers, as well as seeing all of their beautiful artwork on display 🎨🎶📝
We also loved seeing the Year 3’s fantastic dance - what excellent rhythm and timing! 🪗
And, of course, a huge well done to our expert chefs - hearing all about their class pumpkin soup making was a definite highlight, and we think it’s safe to say it was a massive success… 🎃🧑🍳✨
Thank you to all who have donated food to the school for Redditch Food Bank and thank you to everyone who came along to support the children and celebrate with us.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! 🤎
🪩 BILLIE JEAN CHALLENGE 🪩
In the spirit of Saturday night, here’s something a little upbeat 🕺✨ Our amazing Year 5s jumped onto the “Billie Jean” challenge hype, and they absolutely crushed it! 🎶🔥
While they thought they were just having a blast, they were secretly mastering:
* 🎯 Timing
* ⚖️ Balance & Coordination
* 🥁 Pure Rhythm
I think you’ll all agree, they took on the challenge and “Beat It”! 🎸👑 How do you think their moves stack up against yours, parents? 😉👇
🚲 BIKEABILITY🚲
Ready, steady, pedal! 🚴♂️✨
Last week, Year 5 had the best time levelling up their cycling skills with the Bikeability Crew 🚴
They took their first big steps toward cycling independence, from mastering the “M Check” to tackling situations they may get into on the real-world quiet roads, and they’ve learned the essential skills to ride safely and confidently. Huge well done to everyone who took part! 👏🎒
🔋 NO POWER HOUR WEEK 🪫
Our No Power Hour week at ABPS is complete ✅ Every day, we have focused on what we can do without power, whether that was reading, speaking and listening activities, drama, crafts or much more, it has been great to see what we’re capable of ‘powerless’ 💪🏼
On Friday, we enjoyed our Cosy Pyjama Day, snuggling up in our comfies to enjoy being read aloud to in the best way possible 🧸
We also found out the winner of our Short Story Writing Competition, with many showing off their imaginative talents, but our winner - Huey in 5B - taking the Gold Award 🥇
From author talks, to writing stories and our cosy jammies, it’s been a great week, and we’re blown away already by how much money we’ve raised for high quality books at school 📚
Don’t worry! You’ve still got till October 22nd to fill in your sponsorship forms for completing ‘No Power’ activities and raise even more money 💷
Thank you everyone for supporting this week! ✨
