Wrekin Walk update

As we get closer to our charity event, Climb Against Cancer, we have a few reminders for the day:

  • Car parking charges will apply- please follow the instructions on the pay machines. There will be additional areas to park such as Ercall Woods and near the Buckatree hotel should the bottom of the Wrekin be busy.
  • Police will be in attendance and illegal parking on double yellow lines will result in penalties.
  • We recommend car sharing where possible to minimise the amount of traffic at the bottom of the Wrekin.
  • Please ensure children have sensible footwear, sunscreen, hats, a small rucksack for their lunch and a water bottle.
  • Please bring cash to buy merchandise on the day.

Reminder for T-Shirt colours:

Message to parents regarding the activity out of hours

We are writing to inform you of some recent activity that has happened, out of hours on our site.

We believe at this stage that it is probably young people trying to find something to do. Even so, it is important that our site remains private during the evenings and weekends whenever the school and nursery are closed.

We are kindly asking parents/ carers who live locally to the school to support us by keeping an eye out and reporting any usual or suspicious activity around the nursery premises especially when school is closed.

School have already reported our concerns to the local police and the business watch security teams.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Staffing changes

Dear Parents/Carers,

Schools seem to go through cycles when it comes to staff staying or moving on to new positions. It appears that it is our turn to have more staff alterations than is usual.

As you already know Mrs Thomas is leaving to undertake a promoted post from September.

It is with sadness that I must inform you that both Mrs Arthurs (Year 6) and Miss Jones (Year 6) will also be leaving us at the end of the year.

Mrs Arthurs and Miss Jones have contributed so much to our school and of course will be sadly missed by everyone.

I know you will join me in wishing them the very best of luck.

We have already put plans in place to ensure continued stability when they leave.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Careers Day photos

After a fantastic careers day on the 14th June we are sending career day photos to the kind volunteers who came in. This would only be for children whom we have photo permission for. If you would rather not have your child in any of the photos sent, please let the office know by Friday 28th June.

Radio Shropshire ‘Climb against Cancer’

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you will now be all aware, we are taking Years 1 – 6 to ‘climb against cancer’ on the 3rd July next week.

We hope that Radio Shropshire will attend and help us not only promote the event across Telford, but also help us capture the event through photographs and film footage.

There is a slim possibility that a team from Midlands Today or similar will also attend. This of course is dependent on what is going on nationally and with it being on the eve of a general election, they may well be busy!

I have today spoken to Telford and Wrekin communications team, who would also like to potentially come and join in the fun!

We have a small number of children who have on their record, ‘no consent’ for photos etc. If that is your child, you will soon receive a phone call from our admin team to discuss arrangements.

If you do not receive a phone call, yet believe you ticked ‘no consent’, please contact the office to discuss.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

KS1 Sports Day

Well, year 1 and 2 did not let us down with team support. I’m sure the rest of the school heard them chanting for teammates and their houses last Wednesday.

They ran, jumped and crawled their socks off! It was a close competition and we were so proud of all their efforts.

All our children loved watching parents get their competitive side out and commando roll into winning positions! Thanks for all the extra points you scored. We’re sure they contributed to the winning total.

And, there could only be one winner. A very special well done goes to the house winners…WENLOCK!

A huge thank you to Miss Jones, the crossbar team and all the additional adults who helped total points, set up races and generally organise the day. The afternoon ran incredibly smoothly thanks to your efforts.

What an exciting start to Summer 2 in Miss Buckingham’s Class!

Wow, we have been extremely busy in our class so far in our final half term of Year 1!

We began the half term with Healthy Lifestyles Week, completing a circuit with gymnast Dominick Cunningham, using the Crossbar inflatables, going on different inflatables in the hall, meeting Dan Udoh, doing Zumba with Miss Lowe, riding our scooters and bikes in the playground and much, much more!

We had a fantastic careers day dressing up, meeting a farmer who works for the UK’s largest salad producing company (he drove his tractor to school to show us!)  and having a session with West Mercia Search and Rescue.

This half term has been all about sandwiches! In literacy, we are writing instructions for making sandwiches, and in DT, we have learnt about healthy foods and made ourselves a healthy sandwich!

Last week, we showed our competitive spirits breaking into houses for a brilliant sports day! We loved cheering on our teams and showed great sportsmanship.

On Thursday morning, we had chicks come into our classroom. They were only 1 week old! We put them in the middle and observed them interacting with each other, stretching their wings, running around and some even pooing! We all got to stroke the chicks too – they were so soft!

We cannot wait for what the last four weeks of Year 1 has in store!

Curriculum Governors Involvement

Governors enjoyed listening to the children enthusiastically talking about their experiences during Healthy Lifestyles Week. Governors were impressed by the recount from the curriculum lead, explaining the developments across foundation subject assessment. This was evident whenever the Art and EYFS subject lead confidently discussed their areas of expertise.

Baby Chicks and Making Sandwiches in DT -Miss Hill’s Class-Year 1

What a  busy week it has been!

The children loved sports day on Wednesday and were all very keen to participate.

They have had a brilliant week meeting and holding the cute chicks.

The children have also made sandwiches this week in DT. They practised the skill of slicing and grating as well as assembling a sandwich, using their chosen ingredients. Here are some pictures of them making their final product.
