Base 3 have done some lovely pastel silhouette art work of Stonehenge

This week Reception had a visit from the dental nurse to talk about how to take care of our teeth. The children met Derek the Dinosaur and had a go at brushing his teeth correctly.

The Reception children visited the church this week. We have included some photographs for you to see.

Mrs Branch said they all lying on the floor so that they can see the beautiful ceiling of the church!

On Thursday, the school had a music assembly to introduce drums as an instrument that may be taught in school.

After the assembly, Reception children made music on “drums” in the outside area.

A particular favourite was “We will Rock You”!

Today the KS1 children took part in a Great Fire of London workshop.

The children were immersed into life in London in 17th century by taking on the role of various shopkeepers.

They made soap and scented handkerchiefs and worked with leather.

Throughout the day, the children learned how the Great Fire of London started and how it spread through the city.

Last week we recommenced our programme of residential trips and the Year 2 children all went to Edgmond Hall, staying over for two nights.

The adventure started with the children walking from school , along the High Street then along the canal to Edgmond – they were very excited to be walking so far but they all made it!

Once at Edgmond the children did lots of activites during the day, and looked after the animals as well as exploring the grounds of Edgmond Hall and learning all about it.

In the evenings , the children did a night walk on the first night, using torches and also making wishes on the wishing tree.

On the second night, they took part in a campfire , singing songs and toasting marshmallows.

We were very proud of the children and how independent they were. They all carried their own luggage upstairs, arranged their own clothes in their cupboard and made their own beds. At the end of their stay they also stripped off their bedding and packed all their clothes for the return journey. Well done Year 2!

The children love Forest School and today was a lovely day for it. We thought we would share with you some of the things that the children get up to.

Last week we welcomed our new Reception Class into school. We are really proud of how the children have settled in.

Here are a few photographs of their first week at school.

Chloe has been taking part in gymnastics at Park Wrekin and received her certificate this week. Well done Chloe! Chloe was also lucky enough to meet Alice Kinsella who had just returned from the Olympics. We have some photos of Chloe including one holding the bronze medal. What a great experience Chloe !
