In Science today, pupils in Y5&6 were learning about the different processes involved in separating mixtures, including filtration, sieving, evaporating and using magnetism.

What a performance this morning from the Y5&6 basketball team 🏀🏆🥇who won 6 out of 6 matches at the Corbet School. Archie and William displayed some superb dribbling and shooting, Olivia defended superbly and it was great to see how confident Eve became once she had scored in the opening game. 2-0, 7-0, 3-0, 1-0, 4-0 and 2-1 victories ensured that our team of 4 won the competition. They all showed a great competitiveness whilst also demonstrate fair play and sporting behaviour too. It was a privilege to watch! Well done everybody.

Huge congratulations to all of the children who were chosen to represent the school in the indoor athletics finals at Ellesmere College today, having qualified from last month. Yet again, the pupils had to compete in relay races of various distances, speed bounce, javelin, long jump, triple jump, vertical jump and chest push. Despite taking on all of the qualified schools from North Shropshire, the Myddle pupils compete to a strong standard and performed superbly in each event. A special mention to Isla, Ruby and Aria who were selected by the organisers as demonstrating ‘passion’ in their performance, which is one of the School Games values. Well done everybody!

It was another wonderful opportunity for the Y5&6s this morning to experience the career/job of one of the parents in the class. This time it was Mrs Lenartowska, who incredibly kindly, along with her colleagues Brendan and Phil, came along to share with the pupils what life is like working for the Muller company. The children learnt about the different career opportunities as well as observing and taking part in scenarios which take place at the Market Drayton establishment. A huge thank you to the Muller team for giving up their working time to inspire the pupils and for providing the goodie bags that everybody received at the end.

4 girls in Y5&6 had a wonderful day at Shrewsbury High School. They made bath bombs in the chemistry lab, designed a logo, made packaging using a cube net, and presented a business case to a mock ‘Dragon’s Den’ (sixth formers) to sell their products in bulk.

They presented their company beautifully and came 3rd overall. They were a credit to the school all day. Thank you to Mrs Harris for attending this event with them.

On World Book Day 2025, many of the Y5&6s took up the challenge of dressing as a book character / real life person from a book.

A massive thank you to Mr Massy who gave a wonderful talk to the pupils in Jaguar class today about his career in the RAF. The pupils enjoyed it thoroughly and he even organised a helicopter landing for the pupils too! They had a wonderful afternoon learning and some of the pupils no doubt would be interested in a career in the RAF after today!
