Fairtrade Fortnight

In whole-school worship this morning, we looked at lots of different food items that the Coop have kindly brought into school for us as part of our Fairtrade Fortnight activities.

We watched a video Fairtrade Adventure and thought about how Fairtrade works and the impact it hopes to have.  Each class was also given a Fairtrade football from the Coop and these are already in use!

 

Sensory and Wildlife Garden

We are delighted to let you know that we have been awarded a grant for the Sensory and Wildlife Garden. There is voting in 3 Shrewsbury Tesco stores this week to top up the grant and all you need to do is simply collect a token from the till and vote. Thank you in advance for your support.

Spaghetti Maths

Thank to everyone who was able to attend the Spaghetti Maths assembly this morning or who has spoken to Helen or Lisa in the office about the after-school club.  Children really enjoyed the assembly and have brought a leaflet home this evening explaining how to book a place on the block of 6 sessions.

Class 4 Homework

Dear Parents/Carers,

This week we would like children to complete the reading, game and quiz on the BBC Bitesize website. The link is pasted below:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/science/materials/changing_states/read/1/

If children are not able to access the activity at home, they are welcome to use the school laptops at playtime next week.

Children are not required to hand anything in next Wednesday. If the half term homework on the Taiwanese earthquake is still outstanding, could children please complete this by next Monday as we will be looking at them in class.

Thank you for your support.

Spaghetti Maths – Assembly Reminder

This Thursday 25th February the school will be hosting an exciting assembly for Years 1-6 delivered by Spaghetti Maths, where ‘Jonny Cube’ will show the children some brilliant maths tricks and even blow a square bubble; parents are welcome to come along and watch the fun.

Following the assembly Spaghetti Maths would like to run a series of after-school maths clubs, aimed at inspiring the children with a new approach to learning maths.  They will focus on fun, hands on learning and discovery, with sessions on gravity, pop up shapes and amazing number patterns. After each session the children will get to take home what they have done, to continue the learning at home.
You can visit the company’s website for more information www.spaghettimaths.co.uk
If you are interested, please come along to the assembly in the School Hall at 9:15 a.m.  on the 25th or speak to Mrs Helen Jones for more information.

Painting like Monet

We had a brief look at Claude Monet’s work today and focused on his painting of a Japanese Bridge. After this we had a go at our own drawing and painting of a landscape and used finger painting to recreate the style of Monet.
