U11s Football 

Well done also to the Year 5 and 6 boys who played in last week’s Small Schools semi finals at Sundorne.  It was wonderful to see how far the boys have progressed as a team since September and it was only goal difference that resulted in them not making it through to the final. Thank you to mums, dads and grandparents who have supported the boys this year.

Thank you to the Coop for the Fairtrade products they provided us with for a fantastic display in reception and to Laura for giving up her time to create the display.  We have decided to donate the food items to the Food Bank in Shrewsbury.

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.
