Welcome back everyone! We hope you’ve had a lovely half term break.

This week has been very busy in school. We were visited by the Shropshire Music Service Folk Band on Tuesday and the children really enjoyed the performance. They got to join in singing the songs and some children got to perform with the band as well.

On Wednesday, the children took part in the first part of their pedestrian training. They learned how to cross roads safely and look for potential dangers when crossing. The children behaved sensibly and we were praised highly by Mr Hughes (the instructor) for the maturity shown when out and about. Well done to everyone! The next part of the training is next Wednesday so children need to ensure that they have a warm, waterproof coat on this day.

Next week, children will need to bring in their winter PE kits on Monday and Thursday. Children need to make sure that they have warm clothing as they will be outside. Also, on Tuesday, we are going to Shrewsbury Abbey to visit the WW1 memorial and the Wilfred Owen memorial. Children will need to make sure that they have a warm, waterproof coat and sturdy shoes for walking to and from the Abbey.

Have a great weekend!

What a busy week to the end of our first half term! We had our Harvest Festival this week and the children were fantastic! The children who took part in the ‘Open the Book’ element of the service performed wonderfully. I was very proud of each and every one of them. All of the children behaved and sang beautifully!

We have been writing our persuasive leaflets this week, encouraging men to join up to the forces during World War One. There has been some excellent emotive language used in their work and it is clear to see that the children have really tried their best.

Well done to everyone this half term. I hope you all have a peaceful and relaxing half term break. See you all on the 5th November! Don’t forget that it is school photos on this day.

This week, it has been assessment week in school. The children have tried really hard and have given their all. Well done to all of them!

During P.E. lessons, we have been trialling the initiative called ‘The Daily Mile’. The children have been fantastic when we’ve been outside running. The enthusiasm, positivity and encouragement that the children have been showing each other this week has been wonderful to see. We looked at inventive and different ways of travelling around the playground.

We have also been rehearsing for our Harvest Festival. The children have been learning and practising the songs which we will be singing during our Harvest Festival.

Next week, the children will need to bring their PE kits into school on both Monday and Thursday. Thanks.

Enjoy your weekend!

This week, the children have been looking at a new genre in writing – persuasion. We will be looking at persuasive leaflets used during the First World War and will hopefully create our own leaflets in this style.

We have also learnt about democracy this week and talked about voting for our new Head Boy and Head Girl as well as their deputies. We listened to all of the manifestos delivered by the candidates and then voted using specially created ballot slips.

We also learnt about Malala Yousafzai during our R.E. lessons as part of our ‘Important people of different faiths’ unit. The children listened very maturely and asked some very sensible questions during that session.

Spellings have been given out today and the children will be tested on these on Thursday afternoon. The children are to continue working through their WW1 project checklist for their homework.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

This week we have been writing our setting descriptions with a focus on life in World War One. The children have produced some lovely, descriptive work as a result.

During Topic, we have been looking at artifacts from World War One. We looked at replicas of some of the food that would have been eaten on the front line and also looked at the outfit of a British soldier. It was really interesting to find out more information about life in Shropshire at the time of the war.

I hope everyone who went to Kingswood had an enjoyable time. All of the children were fantastic and really tried their hardest in each of the activities even if they were a bit nervous. Well done to each and every single one of them!

Have an enjoyable and restful weekend!

Welcome back everyone!

I hope you’ve had a lovely summer and are now getting back into the swing of things! This week, we’ve been looking at writing setting descriptions in Literacy. We’ve been using lots of descriptive language to make our writing even better. In Maths, we’ve been looking at rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000.

This week, we have started our new topic which is World War One. On Wednesday, we took part in the whole-school celebration party to commemorate the end of World War One. We really enjoyed sitting together, eating our picnics and singing wartime songs.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
