This week we started our new topic in science ‘Weather’. We have bought a weathervane and will be taking daily temperatures and recording how much rainfall we receive. We will be making comparisons to the weather in Egypt as this is part of our topic.
This is our weathervane
Some of the readings we have taken
Thursday 7th November
Friday 8th November
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)
We have again subscribed to Times Tables Rockstars to help the pupils’ quick recall of their times tables. At the moment, we are using it with the older pupils (Key Stage 2) but will roll it into Key Stage 1 in the coming months.
Your KS2 child has a login and can access the online resource to play games and test themselves against the clock for all times tables from x1 up to x12.
They receive rewards in the game, which they can then redeem to ‘buy’ new features for their ‘avatar’.As they continue to improve their speed and accuracy, they move from being a ‘Rookie’ band member to an ‘International Rock Star’ – it is very engaging and the feedback has been excellent from the pupils!

If you have nay questions, please contact the school office.
Your child will have brought home a login for Reading Eggs (Key Stage 1) or Reading Eggspress (Key Stage 2). This online, interactive resource has been purchased by the school to deepen pupils’ reading skills and improve their comprehension in a fun and exciting way. It should be used in conjunction with reading books – Reading Eggs should be seen as additional reading to your child’s regular daily routine.
To login use these links:
or
Click the login button at the top of the page.
Once your child has logged in, you will notice that there are tasks for them to complete – the class teacher will set reading activities for the pupils. Usually these involve reading a passage and then answering questions about it. Please allow your child the time and space to complete these independently in order that the class teacher can make a reasonable assessment of your child’s work. The system sends a report to the teacher about the pupils’ answers, reading time and how many attempts they have made.
We will also be using Reading Eggs / Reading Eggspress in school for developing reading and comprehension skills.
Class teachers will signpost pupils and parents to the activities via the school website and homework books.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
Welcome to the Autumn Term,
I would just like to welcome you to Grinshill class and post a few items that you will find useful this year.
Monday – New spellings are handed out. Spelling test from last weeks spellings. ( First week back spellings handed out on Tuesday 2nd September, test on Monday 9th).
Monday – PE – Kit (White t-shirt, black or navy shorts/ skort) will need to be in school (Keep in school in case we need it for drama)
Friday – Homework sent out (This will be either Maths, English, Science or Topic with some times table practise)
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday – Homework handed in.
Please ensure that all children have a water bottle in class with their name on. You don’t have to have a fancy, expensive bottle, a plastic drinks bottle is fine. BUT PLEASE ENSURE ONLY WATER IS GIVEN TO CHILDREN.
Please ensure your child’s name is on their clothing including PE kit.
Daily – In order for your child to make progress it is helpful if they can do 5 to 10 minutes of reading each day and please log this in their reading journal.
Thank you, I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 3rd September 2019
Mrs Sallie Roberts
Class Teacher and Deputy Headteacher
Can I please remind parents that their child should be practising spellings for about 5 minutes each evening. They can use the look, cover, write, check method.
A few minutes a day really does make a huge difference.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Mrs Roberts
