Dear Friends,
We’ve had a bit of a break, but Spring is (almost) here! Our next Forest Church is this coming Sunday (25th February), 3pm until 4.30pm.
We’ll be meeting at Huffley Farm. There is plenty of parking. There’s lots to see on the farm, and it might well be muddy, so please dress accordingly! The main focus will be the newborn lambs- there are 25 so far, so we will be able to get a good look at them. Because of the lambs, we do ask that dogs are left at home this time round. We’ll also have plenty of sheepish crafts to do, and there is shelter if it’s wet. There are hot drink facilities, so we can also provide you with a warming cup of tea/ coffee/ hot chocolate. Do bring a picnic to eat at the end if you’d like to.
Directions
At the Ellesmere Road Roundabout, take the A528 towards Wem/ Ellesmere. After a mile or less, you’ll enter Broad Oak, and when you come to the Albright Hussey on the right, take the road directly opposite- on the left. Follow the lane down (watch out for difficult to see speed bumps) and you come to a point (not very far) where the lane divides – fork LEFT there. You go under a pylon, and carry on towards the farm. The postcode is SY4 3AE.
See you soon,
Blessings,
Hannah x
Hello
It’s nearly World Book Day!!! On Thursday 7th March 2024 we are looking forward to the children coming into school dressed as their favourite book character. There will be lots of fun book related activities taking place throughout the day. See the link below for activities, audio books and competitions you can do at home as well.
We realise that it is normally PE on a Thursday, please do not send your child into school, in PE kit but dressed for World Book Day. But if you could please put a pair of trainers in their bags so that they can change into them for their PE session that would be helpful.
Thank you in advance and we are looking forward to seeing an array of characters.
As infants, we all rely completely on adults to help us resolve situations that are causing us to become upset or stressed. This is known as co-regulation. The next phase, once autonomy has begun to develop, is called self-regulation: this is when children start to become capable of exercising more control over their impulses and behaviour, and managing their own emotions.
This vital developmental milestone, however, isn’t reached spontaneously. Learning to self-regulate requires sensitive guidance from trusted adults – simply talking with children about their thoughts and feelings, for instance, can ease the route to self-regulation. This #WakeUpWednesday guide has some expert tips for supporting children to reach this goal.
We are very proud to announce our Stars of the Half Term!
A big well done for their hard work and brilliance to Noah, Jack, Andre, Max and Francine.
This free online safety guide examines the video chat service Monkey, highlighting several risks and suggesting ways to minimise them.
We have been learning lots of amazing things this week across the school.
Pimhill have been learning about space and in Haughmond Mrs Gregory has been so pleased with the children’s writing! Grinshill, Stiperstones and Wrekin had a brilliant Art Day on Monday as they did printing and learned about Andy Warhol!
Here are the certificate winners:
Today, our Year 5 and 6 pupils were visited by Katie, a local PCSO, who talked to them about ways to keep safe online and in the community.
Katie outlined the legal responsibilities children have when using social media, exploitation and county lines.
Please chat to your children about what they have discussed.
The pupils listened very well indeed, and they asked some splendid questions.
Well done to the Stars of the Week!
