Chess Competition

On Thursday of week 2, eight year 6 children attended the Shropshire schools Junior Chess championship, bidding for a place in the National Junior chess championship. The room was full of seasoned players and Shropshire’s own individual champion. Our team, all competing for the first time, did brilliantly, every played secured a win and Captain Webb narrowly missed out of the podium by half a point, finishing in an admirable 4th place out of 8. Well done to team members, Lukas, Lochlan, Harry, Lutful, Geroge, Mason, Iosif and Mathew.

Y1 Florence Nightingale Day

In Year 1 we stepped back in time to the Crimean War in Turkey where Florence Nightingale helped save the lives of many injured soldiers. We learnt all about how Florence cleaned the hospitals and gave the patients beds. We also made a lantern because Florence was known as the ‘Lady of the Lamp’ for helping the soldiers through the night.

Y6 Parliament

Some of our Year 6 students were lucky enough to travel to London this week for a tour of the Houses of Parliament. The children learnt all about the House of Commons and the House of Lords, learning more about how laws are made, Parliamentary Ping-Pong and the traditions of the UK. We were even lucky enough to sit in the House of Commons and listen to a debate ongoing by the MPs. A fantastic day had by all!

Rosalind Monks Artwork!

In Art, we have been looking at the artist Rosalind Monks. We learnt all about how she takes inspiration from what she has seen when travelling the world to help her create art. She likes to draw animals and she uses one line at a time when drawing.

We drew our own ‘Rosalind Monks’ inspired animals – we focused on minibeasts as we will soon be learning about them and their habitats.

Here are some of our pieces of art.

Year 1 Telford Tours

On a rainy Tuesday Year 1 went on their very own Telford Tour. We walked along the River Severn and over the Ironbridge. Then we visited The Wrekin. We talked about the River Severn and The Wrekin being physical features because it is natural and the Ironbridge being a human feature because it was made by people.

School Attendance for week ending 24/10/25

Today we are sending home your child’s attendance to-date.

A child needs high attendance in primary school for several important reasons that directly impact their development, learning, and future opportunities:
1. Consistent Learning and Skill Development
• Foundation building: Primary school lays the groundwork for literacy, numeracy, and social skills.
• Cumulative learning: Missing school means missing key concepts that future lessons build upon.
2. Social and Emotional Growth
• Peer interaction: Regular attendance helps children develop friendships and learn teamwork.
• Routine and structure: Being in school daily helps children adapt to routines and expectations.
3. Academic Achievement
• Studies show a strong link between high attendance and better academic performance.
• Children who attend regularly are more likely to keep up with the curriculum and succeed in assessments.
4. Long-Term Educational Outcomes
• Early attendance habits influence future school engagement and success.
• Poor attendance in primary years can lead to gaps that affect secondary education and beyond.
5. Safety and Supervision
• Schools provide a safe environment with adult supervision, especially important for children from vulnerable backgrounds.
6. Access to Support Services
• Schools often offer health checks, counselling, and special education services that children may miss if absent.

See how your child’s attendance compares to national expectation to exceed 95%.
