MP Visit – Shaun Davies

We would like to say a huge thank you to Shaun Davies, our local MP for Telford, for taking the time to come and visit us in school today. As a follow up from visiting parliament, we were able to meet with Shaun and ask questions about his role in parliament.

Shaun also gifted the school with a new book for the library, titled ‘If I Ran The Country’, which will be placed in the library in the new academic year.

Reception – A Special Visitor: Cloudy the Owl at Forest School

What an exciting day we had at Forest School!  Today was extra special because we met a beautiful owl named Cloudy. Everyone was full of excitement and curiosity as we gathered together to learn all about this amazing bird.

Meeting Cloudy

Cloudy was calm and gentle, with soft feathers and big, watchful eyes. We learned that owls are nocturnal, which means they usually stay awake at night and sleep during the day. Even though it was daytime, Cloudy was very relaxed and happy to visit us.

Asking Questions

We had the chance to ask Dave, Cloudy’s handler, lots of questions. We were very curious and wanted to know everything!

Here are some of the things we discovered:

 What Do Owls Eat?

Dave told us that owls like Cloudy are carnivores—they eat meat! Their favourite foods include:

  • Mice
  • Small birds
  • Insects

We had such a wonderful time meeting Cloudy and learning from Dave. It was a day full of curiosity, questions, and new knowledge. We will remember this experience for a long time!

Thank you, Dave and Cloudy, for visiting us at Forest School!

Yr 4 Reading Café

This half term, the Year 4 classes proudly hosted their Starbooks cafés. It was wonderful to welcome parents into school to share stories with their children while enjoying a hot drink and a snack together.

The event was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the variety of books in our library and celebrate reading for pleasure.

Thank you to all the families who attended and helped make the event such a success!

British Science Week 2026

British Science Week this year was all about igniting children’s curiosity through questioning! We did lots of fun activities throughout school – here are just a few that the children took part in …

Year 1 spent some time outside and explored the different weather conditions we get in the UK! They wondered what happens when we sometimes have sun and rain together? And why do we have fog in Autumn?

In Year 2, they looked at what plants need to grow. They had a discussion about plants and came up with a few questions that they were intrigued to find out from their experiment! They are…Do plants need sunlight to grow? How many days will it take our sunflower to grow?  What will happen if we do not water our plants? Can we grow sunflowers without water and sunlight?

Year 4 discovered why it was so important to look after our teeth. They placed eggs in different liquid and studied what happened over time. They realised the egg shells acted like the enamel on our teeth and discovered what sugary drinks, vinegar and coffee could do to your teeth!

Year 2 Sculptures

In Year 2, we have been looking at the artist Marc Quinn. He is a sculptor who makes flower sculptures out of bronze. We have been inspired by him and have decided to make our own flower sculptures out of clay! 🌸🌺🌻🌼

Here are some pictures of us in the process of making our sculptures. We needed to cut, roll and mould the clay to recreate our design plan! We then added texture to our flowers!

 

   

      

     

 

Stay tuned to see our final pieces once we have painted them 😁

Burglar Alarms

Year 6 have been investigating electricity in science this week and today were set the challenge of making a burglar alarm for Miss Saville’s house. We investigated making our own switches by using insulators and conductors, which broke and connected our circuit, allowing the buzzer to sound when the door was opened.

Watch the video of our burglar alarm in action on a door!
