Condover residential

As you can probably tell from the vast array of photos, we had a fantastic time at Condover. Well done to all the children for their exceptional behaviour and for making the visit so enjoyable for their friends and staff. Thank you to all the adults who took part – Miss Barratt, Mrs Chadwick, Mrs J and Mrs Walton – and I’m sure they enjoyed the children’s company as much as I did!

Weekly News 15.04.16

It has been lovely to see the children so excited about coming back to school this week and keen to share their news about the holidays. It’s a busy few weeks now with the Year 3/4 residential visit, trips, swimming sessions starting and SATs and we are grateful for your continued support with activities in and out of school.

Pre-school

The pre-school children have joined us in the school hall for lunch this week and it has been lovely to see them growing in confidence over the past few days.

Mrs McKenna’s new arrival!

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs McKenna on the safe arrival of Theo James 7lb 2oz. Mum and baby are home and doing well.

Netball Club changed

Miss Edwards will now be running Computing Club on Mondays instead of Netball Club. Next week the club is open to everyone in Year 3 to 5 but if numbers are too high Miss Edwards may have to draw up a rota to limit the numbers of children attending.

Uniform

Just a reminder that children are only permitted to wear royal blue sweatshirts/cardigans/ hooded cardigans to school and no other coloured tops should be worn. Thank you.

Cross Country

Well done to all the children who competed in the area cross country on Tuesday morning at The Corbet School. The children displayed a fantastic team effort and the boys team came 2nd overall out of the local schools. Thank you to parents who came along to support us.

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.

Coop Fairtrade Donations

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.

Sport Relief Total

Thank you to everyone who sent in a donation for Sport Relief – we’ve sent off £132.70 to the charity today.

Dinner Money

Please could any outstanding dinner money be paid before the end of term. Please could you also remind your child to give their dinner money into the school office/their class teacher promptly; the school kitchen are having to send reminders home more frequently only to then be told by parents that they have already sent the dinner money into school but it has not been given in.

Thank you in advance for your support with this.

Sport Relief

Thank you to all the children who brought £1 in today for the Sport Relief charity. We raised a fantastic £117 which will be sent off next week.

Please check the website for forthcoming clubs, as there will be no clubs on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday next week.
