Free Maths Workbooks to Support Your Child at Home
We would like to share with you a website to support your child in their maths learning. We use White Rose Maths in school, and they have now released some resources for Years 1-6 pupils to use at home. You can find them here, ready to download and print at home (you could even use them on screen, with your child working on paper!)
Cost of living support
Undoubtedly many families will have concerns regarding the cost of living crisis. There is a set of useful pages regarding help and support for families on the council website – www.shropshire.gov.uk/cost-of-living-help
Reading for All Pupils
Please remember that reading is one of the most important skills our children will learn. It is vital that children get time and space to practice their reading with an adult at home regularly. Pupils learning to decode should read with an adult every day and those pupils who can read fluently should continue to read at home every day (and should still read with adults!) Our older children have access to Fiction Express, and can select age-appropriate e-texts to read online.
Please ensure your child’s reading is logged in their Reading Record, which should be brought home each night and returned to school each morning.
If you have any questions about reading, please speak with your child’s teacher!
Archery
This week, Mrs Norris, Mr Lack and Mrs Oxford took 12 KS2 pupils to an Archery Festival at The British Ironworks Centre. Pupils really enjoyed trying out archery and improving their skills.
Mrs Norris runs a weekly Archery Club with KS2 pupils, in which she teaches pupils all about the bows, arrows and they have the chance to become budding archers!
If your child might be interested in starting archery, we can point you in the direction of Start Archery Start Archery – Begin Your Archery Journey where you can find out how to try out archery in the local area!

“Local Covid Hero” Nomination
Please read this letter we have received from Ruyton XI Towns Parish Council:
The Parish Council would like to publicise the fact that you and the staff at St John the Baptist and Bomere Heath Primary Schools have been nominated as local covid heroes of 2021. We thought you might like to publish this good news via your next newsletter.
The parish communities and the parents and carers of all the children at the Ruyton and Bomere Heath primary schools owe you and your colleagues a real debt of gratitude.The way you conducted and maintained the levels of teaching, structured each school day and provided a range of distance learning tools and methods to suit the wide range of ages and abilities was second to none.
The dedication of everyone working and volunteering at both schools was truly tested and you triumphed in the most challenging of circumstances. We applaud you all. The Lord Lieutenant’s Garden Party takes place locally in June and offers a unique opportunity for sterling work such as this to be publicly recognised. We trust you will be in a position to attend, enjoy the event and represent your fabulous team.
With kind regards, Ruyton-XI-Towns Parish Council
