Shrewsbury Duck Hunt – free event

Free family event, being held in the May half term from Saturday 27th May – Saturday 3th June 2022.

The event is for all, but targets young children and involves them going on a ‘hunt’ around Shrewsbury town centre to find 20 hidden rubber ducks. There are opportunities for prizes to be won on completion of the duck hunt.  This is the 3rd year that the event has run.

All the information on the event can be found on their website: www.shrewsburyduckhunt.co.uk

Thank you from the Shrewsbury Duck Store (based in the Darwin Centre, Shrewsbury.)

Save the Date – Gardening and DIY Day

We are planning a gardening and general maintenance day at school on Saturday 20th May from 10:00 am onwards.

If you are able to spare a couple of hours we’d love to see you. Children are welcome to come along but they must be supervised by the parent / adult they are attending with.

Please let Mrs Johnson know if you are able to help or if you have any questions. We thank you in advance for your support.

Summer events 2023

Our next Forest Church will be on Sunday, 4th June, 3pm at Leaton Forest (where the Christmas Trees are sold). We really hope you can join us for a lovely afternoon in the summer sunshine with crafts, exploration, worship and fellowship. Please bring a picnic to share at the end of the afternoon. All welcome!
I’ve attached a poster of our summer events calendar (oh yes!), which gives details of the next couple of Forest Churches. I’d also like to draw your attention to the summer fete in the walled garden at Peverey (SY4 3AT) on Saturday, 10th June, 2.30pm-5pm, with a dog show at 3pm (entries on the day). It promises to be a fun-filled afternoon, in the style of a traditional village fete. Please do come along!
Finally, you may remember I mentioned that we have a Confirmation service on 5th November, 4pm. If you or your child (year 5 upwards) is interested in getting confirmed, then please do let me know as soon as possible. For those children in years 5 and 6 at Bicton and Bomere Schools, I’m starting preparation groups this coming week… so in that case, let the school know.

Hi everyone,

It was wonderful to see so many families at our Coronation party yesterday and for you to enjoy the afternoon with us.

I would like to say a huge thank you to FOBS and all the volunteers who worked incredibly hard yesterday and over recent weeks to organise the different stalls. They raised a grand total of £460 which is amazing news – thank you everyone for your support!

We had some brilliant entries for the baking and crown competitions and the winners will be announced in school next week. Well done to everyone who entered.

Maple class had been busy designing and making some amazing Coronation-themed cake stands in Design and Technology and, as you can see, they were put to very good use! Well done Maple class 🙂

Good luck Year 6

Next week, Year 6s will be completing their SATs (end of KS2 tests.) They have worked really hard to prepare for these and we are so proud of each and every one of them.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Weekly News 28.04.23

Hello everyone,

Please see two letters below which children have been given today in paper form.

School closure letter 2nd May 2023 update

April Newsletter

I would like to clarify why nursery is closed on Tuesday, alongside all other classes.

When all of a school’s senior leadership team are on strike, the school and nursery must close. On previous strike days, both myself and our deputy headteacher – Mrs Mavin – have both been on strike so all classes were closed. Yesterday, I chose not to strike as there were maintenance jobs I needed to do in school that school cannot afford to pay external contractors to do. This was not an easy decision to make and I fully support our teachers who were on strike.

On Tuesday 2nd May, I will be striking alongside our teachers so nursery and all classes are closed. Please be assured, we do not want to strike and lose pay but the chronic underfunding of schools leaves us with no choice.

Thank you for your support.

Mrs Johnson
