Stars of the Week
Here are our certificate winners this week: Star of the Week, Worker of the Week and Values Award.
Area Sports
On Thursday we were proud to host the North Shropshire Schools Area Sports. We invited seven schools to compete against each other in athletics events for Years 4-6. The morning was a huge success with around 150 pupils taking part.
The eagerly awaited Relay events were won by Bomere Heath (girls) and Myddle (boys).
We look forward to our own Sports Day next Thursday (11th July) and Area Sports next year.
Year 6 School Nurse Visit
Today, Year 6 pupils were visited by two school nurses from the local NHS Trust to talk about growing up and puberty to supplement our PSHE curriculum.
Pupils discussed emotional and physical changes, hygiene, relationships, positive sleep patterns, exercise and much more.
Eco Schools Award
We are incredibly proud to announce that we have been awarded The International Eco Schools Certificate with distinction!
Mrs Quigley and her Eco council have been working tirelessly to improve the eco-friendly aspects of the school. They have made lots of changes, given everyone information and have recently completed a very stringent evaluation process to achieve this amazing award.
If any parents and carers have a specific interest in this area and would be interested in helping out, please have a chat with Mrs Quigley.
General Election 2024
We have been learning all about the General Election and the British Value of Democracy. We looked at the key points of the different manifestos, then held our own General Elections following the same process as the real one. We linked our learning to maths, through the use of statistics and also considered what we might do if we were Prime Minister. In each class, the Green Party got the most votes, although it was closer in some than others!
Weekly Superstars!
Very well done to the certificate winners this week
Lowry and Perspective
Today we have been using the work of L.S. Lowry to explore how to create perspective in our sketches. We worked hard to include some of the typical features seen in Lowry’s work, including terraced streets and factories.
Here are some of our sketches.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
In English Haughmond are learning about Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. We have read about Oberon sending Puck to fetch a magical flower so that he can play a trick on Titania! We have created our own magical flowers, and next week will be writing about their powers!
