Thursday 10th April 2025
This week, we have continued to make the most of the sunshine. We have enjoyed the first two of our inter-house football competitions in Years 3 and 4 but lots of other year groups enjoyed spectating and cheering the teams along too. Year 5 had a wonderful D&T day; using all of their new knowledge to design and build their own bridges. The children are so excited for their Easter break; we wish all of our families a relaxing and happy holiday. We look forward to welcoming you all back to school on Monday 28th April.
BeSMART Cup winners who will have a special treat next week:
Mr Banfield’s Class, they have shown resilience and determination in all aspects of their work. They have been amazing, completing tasks as asked and following the BeSMART code. They have definitely made this week enjoyable. The adults that teach this class have been incredibly impressed with their determination and effort this week.
House Points
After 7 weeks of working hard to win the house point battle, Ironbridge have successfully taken first place! Their hard work both in and out of class has paid off and Year 3 and 4’s contributions in the inter-house competitions this week have helped them to secure the winning place. They will be rewarded with their ‘house celebration’ in the first week back after Easter.
