Multiskills sports club Year 3 to Year 6

We only have a couple of children booked onto multiskills sports club so we are offering a free taster session this Thursday. Please let the school office know if you would like your child to attend so they can be added to the register.

For the children who have already booked on, Mrs Neal will refund the cost of this week’s session to your child’s sQuid account.

Remembrance Sunday plans

Dear Friends,

As we approach Remembrance Sunday (12th November), I thought I’d let you know of our services around Severn Loop. Please note the earlier start time at Bicton and Shrawardine, and the Festival of Remembrance at Fitz (to which all are warmly invited). You are most welcome at any of our services.

9am- Bomere (Holy Communion with an Act of Remembrance)

9.30am- Montford (Holy Communion with an Act of Remembrance)

10.45am- Bicton– A Service of Remembrance, led by Steve Jones (Padre of our local branch of the Royal British Legion)

10.45am- Leaton– A Service of Remembrance, with the local Scouts in attendance, followed by Acts of Remembrance at the War Memorial and Preston Gubbals

10.50am- Shrawardine– A Service of Remembrance

5.30pm- Fitz– A Festival of Remembrance with the Yeoman Singers

Many of our churches have beautiful poppy displays to mark the occasion. At Montford, there is a Poppy Path set up in the churchyard- do go along and see it. Here is a (rather windswept!) video of it as well:

Finally, in Bomere Heath there will be an Act of Remembrance at 11am on Saturday, 11th November, outside the Methodist Chapel- do gather there about ten minutes before.

With love and blessings,

Children in Need – Friday 17th November

Get your pyjamas or spotty outfit at the ready for Children In Need on Friday 17th November. If children don’t want to wear pyjamas or spots, they could wear something that will make others smile! We ask that all children pay £1.00 donation towards the charity which they can bring into school or pay via our JustGiving page – click here to donate.

We’d also welcome donations of cakes or biscuits for our breaktime cake sale – nothing containing nuts please – and, if sending in homemade products, please attach a list of ingredients. Children can bring money in to buy a cake and we will then pay in the monies raised to our JustGiving account. Thank you in advance for your support!

Weekly News 27.10.23

Hello everyone,

Thank for your time attending parent meetings this week. If you couldn’t attend this week, and would like to make an appointment for after half term, please contact your child’s class teacher via Class Dojo or contact the school office.

Visit to Wroxeter Roman City

I had a great day visiting Wroxeter Roman City on Tuesday with Rowan and Maple classes. Here’s a snapshot of the day from Rowan class. For some unknown reason, they were fascinated by the Romans’ toilet habits !

We hope you all have a lovely half term and we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 7th November.

National Sleep Helpline: We are here to help

This wonderful free resource (see below) can help parents and children to learn more about their sleep and develop better bedtime routines. Sleep is essential to brain function; by helping children to sleep better, we can help them to succeed in school.

SC-078Flyer_Parents

At any given time up to 40% of adults and 50% of children (this rises to 80% with a SEND diagnosis) have difficulties with their sleep. Yet in a recent survey, almost 60% of adults felt there was a lack of support for sleep issues. Sleep problems can leave people feeling isolated and lonely.

Our free helpline is run by trained sleep advisors, many of whom are specialists in working with SEND. We can talk to young people directly, or parents (we can also talk to adults, including older people, about their sleep issues).

The helpline is open 5 times a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday evenings 7-9pm, and Monday, Wednesday mornings 9-11am. The number is 03303 530 541.
