Welcome back after the holiday and it has been lovely to hear all the children’s news!

Free Fruit Friday at the Coop

Every Friday in January, children wearing their school uniform are able to visit the Coop after school to choose a piece of fruit free of charge.  We are sure you will agree this is a fantastic scheme and we hope it might encourage children to try something new.

Before-School Provision (After Breakfast Club)

Following on from our Safer Schools Survey and subsequent meeting last term, we are going to trial extending our before-school provision. From Monday 18th January, you will be able to drop your child at the School Hall from 8:30 onwards and pay just 50p for supervision by staff until school starts.  We hope this will ease the school car park whilst also helping parents and guardians who may need to get to work earlier.  Children will then all be taken from the Hall onto the playground, when the gate opens at 8:45.  A letter will be sent out next week with more information but if you have any questions before the 18th please do not hesitate to speak to myself or Helen/Lisa at the Office.

Letters home this week:

Parent Governor election forms – whole school

U10s football letter (Year 4 & 5 boys who played in Round 1)

Years 3 & 4 Stepping Out letter

Cross Country event – open to Years 3 to 6

Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Finding out our topic…

We started off our new topic guessing where Shrewsbury is in the UK. We had lots of interesting suggestions! Later on this afternoon we had lots of clues about our new topic on the tables and we guessed correctly that Japan is our focus this term. We are all very excited to start learning about Japan and have thought of lots of questions we would like to answer in the next few weeks.

Dinosaur Detectives

 

Something strange was spotted in the school grounds this morning, so Class 1 went out to investigate.

We hunted for clues and found some strange footprints….

Eventually the children unearthed 2 unidentified eggs!

Back in class we listed all the animals we know that lay eggs, after much discussion and looking at the evidence we believe that a dinosaur has visited the school and laid the eggs!

This afternoon the children painted what type of dinosaur they think may have laid the egg.

ICT – Beebot’s invasion!!!!

LO: I can give instructions to my friend and follow their instructions to move around.

The children have had a fantastic ICT lesson this afternoon playing with the Beebots. They were programming the instructions and making estimates about where their Beebot would end up.

Class 4 Homework

Dear Parents/Carers,

This term our topic is Extreme Earth. We will be learning about Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Biomes and the physical geography related to these. We have put up a display in the classroom. We would like to add current or recent natural disasters to this from around the world.

We would like children to research an event from the last year and find out what happened and why this may have occurred.

They can present their information on a piece of paper no bigger than A4 to be added to the display.

Thank you for your support.

Mrs Chadwick and Mrs Foster

Christmas Performances

Thank you again for all your support this week and in the weeks leading up to the Nativity performances and the Carol Service.  It has been a rather busy week but the children have kept going until the end and we are all very proud of them.  Hopefully they will sleep well for you this evening!

Next Term

Please remember to check the website for clubs information next term. Just a reminder that there are NO CLUBS on WEDNESDAY 6th JANUARY due to a staff training event and the U11s football tournament.

Y3/4 Residential Visit to Condover

The company have agreed to extend our booking window to the first week back.  If you would like your child to take part in the visit, please return the permission slip and £15 deposit on Tuesday 5th January.

On behalf of all the staff and governors, we hope you have a wonderful Christmas and hopefully a bit of a rest before we return to school on Tuesday 5th January.
