Jacob Seeney, 10, said: "It was very hard but I achieved my goal of getting a level two certificate."
Classes Three and Four spent a day at museums in Ironbridge Gorge. Class Three went to learn more about Victorians at Blists Hill Museum, which is like a working town. They spent Victorian money and saw bread being made.
Daniel Welch in Class Three said: "We watched a play about an old man who wanted to be in a play but didn't get in. It was funny!"
The older children went to the Enginuity Museum where they got to try out all sorts of scientific tests and learn about new technology.
A number of families and staff went bowling at the Big Apple in Rugby.
Holly Kaye, 10, said: "It was great fun and I won!"
All the children who went said they had a great time.
There was also a disco in school recently organised by Friends of Staverton School (Foss).
Thank you to everyone who went and helped organise the event.
Last Wednesday the whole school took part in Decorations Day where we all made things to decorate the school.
Two ladies from Northamptonshire County Council came and taught us how to make decorations from recycled materials.
Mrs Goodger and Mrs Seeney accompanied some children to the area carol concert at Holy Cross Church last Thursday.
Foss held their Christmas Bazaar last Friday. There were lots of stalls and events and they raised lots on money for our new outdoor play and climbing area.
Finally, congratulations to Jake Holmes who has just won the school chess tournament.

CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLINGThe two Christmas Tree community collection points in Staverton will be at The Green (Manor Road/The Orchard) and The Green (Braunston Lane/Glebe Lane). Trees left there after Christmas will be collected by Daventry District Council and taken to the composting point at Kilsby where they will be shredded, mixed with other organic waste and composted to produce a nutrient rich soil improver.
