Year 3 and 4 enjoyed ‘Stepping Out’ this week. It is a programme designed to help children learn to cross the road safely. The trainer was delighted with the engagement and enthusiasm of the children. Thank you to the helpers too.

Year 4 had a great time at forest school as did Reception and Year 1. I think the reception children experienced true forest school in the rain! Some children attended sports ambassador training and have come back keen to create a competition for the younger ones. A group of children went off the the High Five netball festival and participated in games against other schools.

Well done to Olivia who is the winner of our logo design competition. We are going to have the picture put onto the website and it will be used to represent our mission ‘To encourage one another and build each other up to live our BEST lives’.

Thank you for all your co-operation during the drop-off and collection times. We feel they have worked much better this week.

It was wonderful to see the return of the sports partnership X-Country. There are 3 events for KS2 and the first one was on Tuesday at Albrighton. It was a really hot evening but this didn’t deter our amazing runners! We had some great positions from 4th to 13th from year 5 and 6. We were really proud of them all.

We had a great science afternoon on Tuesday which gave all of the year groups a chance to get together for their learning. Shropshire Music Service are doing music with Green and Yellow this half-term. They were exploring dynamics of sound (the volume) and using claves to demonstrate this.

Thank you to the PTA

It has been difficult to maintain some of our fund raising events over the last 15 months but the PTA have continued to try and do scaled down events where they can. With your continued support, we now have another 10 IPads for use and this is a wonderful resource as we now have enough to use with whole classes and groups. Many thanks to those on the committee who have worked hard to organise the events.

Design a logo for our vision and code.

Our school vision is ‘to encourage one another and build each other up’ (1 Thessalonians 5:11) so that we live out or BEST lives.   We are asking the children to think about our vision and code and design a logo to represent it. Please see the letter. Paper copies have gone out tonight.
