Keeping stress in check – Parent Guide
Impact Education have sent us this Parent Guide: 15 simple tools for you to try with your child or teen to help reduce or relieve stress every day.
Guinness World Record Attempt
Here are Stiperstones, Grinshill and Wrekin taking part in The World’s Largest Poetry Lesson with the hope of being part of a Guinness World Record.
A few weeks ago pupils shared their ideas with Laura Mucha, who has read every school’s entries before creating a draft poem. Today pupils got the chance to ‘Live Vote’ alongside thousands of other children on how the poem was written, choosing specific words and lines as well as the title.
The most amazing thing happened too: we suggested a line in the poem (“Sweets cost 1p back in the day!”) which was chosen by the tens of thousands of other children taking part to be in the final poem!
Mrs Quigley had to make sure our part in the event could be verified, by providing specific evidence for Guinness World Records.
We will send the final poem out in due course and update you with the result of the attempt.

Space Makers Launched!
We are so pleased to announce that we are using Space Makers at Bomere Heath CE Primary School this year!
We will be using these calming and contemplative techniques to help children build spirituality and mindfulness. We will develop skills of Stilling, Noticing, Dwelling, Mending and Blessings to assist children in navigating the world around them.
Over time we will see children taking the lead in delivering the short sessions with their classmates.
Here is some information about the scheme:
Space Makers is a resource for schools and churches from the Diocese of Oxford. Accessible to pupils of all faiths and worldviews, five contemplative practices help schools to embrace some of the ancient wisdom of the Christian tradition and, in doing so, assist children to navigate the world around them.
Climate anxiety and the vast increase in screen time and exposure to social media seem to be causes of deteriorating mental health in young people.
The ancient contemplative traditions of Christianity, like its secular cousin ‘mindfulness’, have a lot to offer at this time.
