Harry Potter virtual lesson
This morning, Grinshill, Stiperstones and Wrekin took part in a virtual lesson from Warner Brothers Studio London. The lesson was led by ‘Evanna Lynch’ also known as Luna Lovegood.

English
If you would like to know more about how we teach English at our school. You can find documents on the website (Click on the icon learning, curriculum, lesson planning)
These documents share with you how we teach speaking and listening, reading and writing. We also go through the schemes we follow to teach phonics and how we teach spellings. Each class teacher has their own way of testing spellings, but the children will always have spellings to learn at home.
If you have any questions about anything we teach at school, please speak to your class teacher.
Reading Rocks
Today all of the classes received their exciting new deliveries of Reading Rocks books. Each class will receive two books per half term. All of the children will get a chance to read these new books. If your child does bring them home, please take care of them and return them back to class when finished with, for another child to enjoy.
We would like to thank Battlefield Farm shop for purchasing these for our children. Thank you
