All of the staff at Bomere Heath CE Primary School would like to thank all of the parents, carers and friends of Bomere Heath CE Primary School for their support this half term.
It has been an exciting half term, during which the pupils have covered some amazing topics, enjoyed fantastic activities, such as KS2 Cycling, and there have been several school trips – Year 6 went to Shrewsbury Abbey, Haughmond visited Aston Hall and Pimhill toured Shrewsbury Museum.
There is plenty more planned for next half term; including Stiperstones going to Wood Lane and Grinshill visiting The World Museum, Liverpool. And don’t forget the KS1 Nativity and Theatre Severn Aladdin pantomime in December!
A Prayer for Half Term
We thank you Lord, for this half term.
For the challenges, the successes, and the mistakes from which we have
learnt.
Be with us as we spend our time with family and friends.
Keep us safe in our activities; give us good rest and good fun.
Bring us back refreshed and ready for a new half term.
Amen
Today, we held a very successful Harvest Service at Leaton Church. Each class dedicated time in recent weeks to thinking about our theme: God’s world.
On Climate Action Day, pupils considered what is important to them in the world and how we can all look after it. This work fed into their ideas for the Harvest Service.
Pimhill and Haughmond sang about recycling and made models out of ‘rubbish’ that can now be played with! Grinshill talked about how they could look after the world, including writing some fantastic poems. Stiperstones and Wrekin researched all kinds of environmental issues and how we/they can help save the planet, as well as writing some very thoughtful prayers.
All in all, we are very proud of the work, ideas, prayers and promises the pupils created – it was truly their service!
Finally, we would like to thank all of the parents, carers, friends and family who came along to share the Service. Reverend Hannah Lins, the congregation and the staff at school would also like to say thank you for the generous donations to the food bank in Shrewsbury.
Dear Lord. Thank you for Harvest time when we can share with those less fortunate than us and remember how to love God’s world. Amen (Prayer written by Clementine, Y6)
The Bomere Heath Cross Country Team had great success at the Corbet Cross Country Schools Competition this week, with several pupils gaining 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their respective races.
25 pupils from Years 3 to 6 took part in age-specific races, with girls and boys running separately around the huge Corbet School field.
There are three more races in November, with the highest placed pupils going through to finals later in the term.
School will be closed to pupils on 25th October 2019 for a Federation Professional Development Day.

This week, all pupils from Year 4 have completed their Bikeability Level One! In addition, all pupils in Year 6 have completed Bikeability Level Three! They have all been presented with badges and certificates in Worship.
Pupils have learned how to ride safely on the playground and on the road, with the assessors looking for pupils to show control and awareness of hazards.
The feedback from the assessors was very positive – with one saying, “The pupils have been excellent; a credit to the school.”
Next half term, Year 5 will have the chance to complete their Level Two certificate.
If you would like to know more about Bikeability and the criteria for each level, please see the link below:
Maths: Missing angles sheet, crossword AND TT Rockstars

Today we have joined in with many schools across the country to think about how to help ourselves and others with improving our mental health. All pupils have discussed strategies to practice to enhance their mood or feelings.
In Wrekin class, pupils watched the BBC’s online Live Mental Health Awareness at 2pm, joining in with activities and discussions around developing a growth mindset and self-care.
Thank you for your donations, which will be sent onto Young Minds to fund their work with children needing support.
If you would like to find out more about what we have discussed today, or about how to help your child and their mental health, follow the links:
Thank you! We have completed our first poster and are about a quarter of the way through completing our second! Please continue to send in the stickers in order that we can send in two entries!
