A huge thank you to all of the parents so far who have given up their vaulable time to come in to Jaguar class to talk to the children about the jobs that they do. Today it was Mrs Wild who we need to thank. The children learned all about hypnotherapy, what it involves and the skills that are required to follow this career route. Yet again, the pupils showed great interest and are really enjoying these sessions. They are now looking forward to Mrs Flynn next week!

A big thank you to Mrs Millward (and Kieran) who gave up their time to talk to the pupils in Y5&6 this afternoon about the work that they do for the rail company. It was really interesting to listen to and the pupils were very engaged with the images and videos that were shown.

Well done to the 18 pupils in Y5&6 who were selected for the indoor athletics event this morning at The Corbet School. They took part in several sprint relay events as well as field events which consisted of long jump, triple jump, vertical jump, speed bounce, javelin and chest push. The children encouraged and supported each other and displayed a sensible approach throughout the morning. Results will follow in due course……

A huge thank you to Mrs Good who organised a ‘careers’ talk with the pupils in Jaguar class on Friday afternoon. The children learned about the different opportunities for a career in the NHS, what skills and qualifications they would need, and took part in different practical ‘life saving’ based activities, which Mrs Good had planned and organised. The pupils learned a lot and had a great afternoon.

Well done to Eve, Mia, Ruby, William, Archie, Caspar and Bertie in Y6 who were chosen to represent the school in a dodgeball competition at Corbet School. They played really well and developed tactically as the competition progressed. Having played 6 games, they won 4 of them, which meant that they finished 2nd behind the winners, Bomere Heath. Well done everybody. Even after the tournament finished, they wanted to carry on playing!

Well done to the eight pupils in Y5&6 who were selected to represent the school in a boys’ football tournament at Shrewsbury Town today. They played 3 fixtures against other Shropshire Primary Schools, which resulted in a 0-0 draw, and 0-3 / 0-1 defeats. It was good experience for the children and they gained vaulable competitive game time against other teams. Thank you to Mrs Emerton Maka for escorting the children to this event.

The children in Y5&6 had an enjoyable afternoon in their ancient Greek workshop. Thank you to Ali from the Shrewsbury Museum for her time and her expertise in delivering this session. It was great to see so many of the children immersing themselves in the topic by dressing up. Well done everybody!

Well done to the 8 pupils in Y5 who represented the school in a kwik cricket event this morning at the Corbet School. They all developed in confidence the further the event went on and were a pleasure to take. It was a great experience for them all.🏏

Our squad of 9 Y5&6 girls were given a great opportunity today to play in an U11s football competition at the Shrewsbury Town all-weather pitches. Thank you to Mrs Hulme for travelling with the children to this event. Here are some photographs of the afternoon………
