Weekly News 03.03.23
Hi everyone,
We’ve had a very busy first week back and it was wonderful to see children in their outfits / pyjamas for World Book Day. They all seemed to enjoy the visit from a local author – Dunkle Deed.
Well done to all the children who won prizes for their costumes, extreme reading locations or book character wood slices, examples of which you can see in the gallery below.
Thank you to everyone who came along and supported the Scholastic Book Fair; this has helped us raise much-needed commission to spend on books for our school library. The Book Fair will be open again after school on Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th.
Welcome Mr Harris!
We have welcomed Mr Harris to our school this week – our new Rowan teacher – and he has enjoyed getting to know Rowan children and parents.

Tree Planting Afternoon
Just before half-term, Maple class spent an afternoon planting apple tree saplings with members of our community.
We had the most wonderful afternoon planting some apple trees in an orchard in Bicton village. Children worked hard to dig the holes, plant the trees, and then walked to the nearby stream to collect water for the tree’s first drink!
During the dig, they had a worm search and counted how many worms there were in every hole. The children really enjoyed searching the soil and found some lovely other insects too.
We all look forward to returning to the orchard, to see how all of the trees are getting along, soon!
Fairtrade Visit to the Coop
To mark the start of Fairtrade Fortnight, a group of children visited the Bicton Heath Coop. They learnt about the benefits of Fairtrade, went on a treasure hunt around the store and even got to sample several Coop Fairtrade products. Unsurprisingly, the white chocolate and the chocolate cookies seemed to be the most well-liked products!
News from Severn Loop
Dear Friends,
Please see above this month’s Loop which contains some good news!
Our next Forest Church will be on 2nd April (Palm Sunday), 3pm at Shrawardine. We will be making Easter Gardens and I’ll send more details nearer the time.
Finally, do note that there are no services at Albrighton during March – we very much hope that all will be well by April.
With love and blessings,
