There was so much to celebrate today after the first week back. Many of our children are certainly living their ‘BEST lives’. We are really pleased to hear all about their achievements outside of school too and we have some very talented children!
Every week, children are nominated as class Superstars for their outstanding achievements.
We recognise those who have achieved 25, 50 or 100 merits.
When Year 6 were at Arthog, they had the chance to obtain the John Muir Conservation Award. The main focus has been the removal of rubbish and especially plastic off the beaches. Well done Year 6!
Mrs Benson is going to be starting an Eco Club too.
Then we had the much awaited for announcement of the winners of the pumpkin carving competition. Thanks to Garry for judging them all!
Reception: Katie, Yr1: Hugo, Yr2: Abigail, Yr3: India, Yr4: Iris, Yr5: Drew and Yr6: Martha Wilson-Thiem. Overall winner – Nancy.
Today we celebrated a lot of extra news.
Firstly, we are all immensely proud of Hollie who has been competing in dressage competitions throughout the summer on a pony called Angus, along with her other team members and their ponies from The West Midlands dressage group. During these competitions they achieved enough points to be selected to go through to the regional finals held back in August. Hollie and her team went on to win the regional finals therefore qualified for the national championship which was held last weekend.
Hollie and her team came 2nd at the national championships, competing at under 21 level. Hollie had the highest scores in her team across the whole weekend.
Hollie was also paired with professional dressage rider Natihalie Kayal riding her horse DHI Homerun, completing in dressage to music. Natihalie’s score that evening was added to Hollies score and together they came third place.
Well done Hollie!
We had two swimming awards to give out!
Maisie, Rosie and Poppy shared their success. They play for Bridgnorth Netball and had a great win over half-term. Please see the flyer below for details of the club.
What a fantastic week it has been!
