A Day in Shrewsbury

We have had a wonderful day today (Monday 10th June 2024) in Shrewsbury. This morning we spent the day at the Museum with Mrs Akers, exploring the world of Peter Rabbit. The experience was fantastic, we explored old photos reinforcing our understanding of the past, we played games, sang songs, played the claves, got creative making gardens and generally had a great time at the Peter Rabbit exhibition.

We were lucky enough to have our picnic in the Quarry Park and explore the Dingle garden. We explored the garden, trying to find where we were on an ariel photo of the garden and spent a lot of time looking at the ponds, we liked watching the ducks and the fish. We admired the new sculpture in the Quarry and talked about what we thought it was made from.

Science Week – A fantastic science school by Xplore Science

KS1 thoroughly enjoyed the science show delivered by Xplore Science. We saw rockets fly across the hall, created a whoosh bottle with flames and saw heat through a thermal imaging camera. We learnt about how the structure of a bridge makes it strong, that two forces work in an opposite direction and Mrs Freeman even sat on a seat of nails!

A Victorian classroom experience

On Tuesday 7th May we went back in time and experienced school in the Victorian times. Mrs Noden took on the role of the strict Victorian teacher and rang the bell for us all to come into school. We dressed up and had our class photo taken. The boys and the girls were separated in the classroom and we sat at desks. We learnt about the classroom rules and how children would have been disciplined then. It was tricky to write on slate as they would have done in school during the Victorian era.

By break time we were feeling very lucky that we go to school in 2024! IMG_0623

Science Gadget Shop

Next week is our school Science Enrichment week. We are running the science gadget shop again this year as it has proved highly successful in previous years. Children can bring a small amount of money to purchase science related toys and games. Most items are between 50p and £2.50. Miss Evans, our science coordinator, will run it during lunchtime on Wednesday and Thursday.

Parents are asked to send a small amount of money in with their child, in a named envelope, to enable them to visit the shop. All profits from the gadget shop will go towards new school science equipment.

Grand opening of our Storytelling Chair

To celebrate the hard work, support and dedication of Mr Derek Orton, who was a governor at our school for over 20 years, we had a Storytelling Chair and seating area commissioned, to be enjoyed by our school children for many years to come. Mr Bryan Howells, from BJH Grounds Maintenance ltd, designed and hand made the chair and benches, he also made our beautiful outdoor classroom. We enjoyed a grand opening with Mr and Mrs Orton and Mr Howells, where Mr Orton read the reception class a story in the new area and then attended our celebration assembly and read a beautiful poem to the whole school. Our children gave both men a well-deserved applause and we celebrated their success.
