Small Paul – A Tale of Positivity!
In these worrying times, here is a lovely, short and simple story to help us all, but especially our pupils:
Monday 16th March 2020
It has been brought to my attention that the homework set last week is not working on Apple ipads.
So, I have set another homework for you to try if you have an Apple ipad.
Please can you have a go and let me know if it works.
Kind regards,
Mrs Roberts
Cross Country – Bomere Heath’s County Success!
We are very proud to announce that Jessica, of Grinshill Class, has won the all-Shropshire Cross Country Championship for Year 3 girls. She had previously won the North Shropshire Championship to qualify for the event held at the Shrewsbury Sports Village on Tuesday 10th March 2020.
Thank you!
Sorry that some parents did not see the board on the playground last Tuesday to say thank you for my lovely Christmas gifts.
So,
Thank you so much for all the lovely Christmas present that I received from you, they were very much appreciated.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Kindest regards,

Grinshill Class Spring Term Topic
Happy New Year!
This term our topic is ‘Frozen Planet’. We will be looking in detail at the North and South Poles. We will look at the people, food and animals that live in Antarctica and The Arctic. We will look at the brave men and women who have journeyed to the polar regions and famous explorers such as Shackleton and Scott. We will look at the geographical landscapes of these frozen polar areas.
In science we are looking at forces and magnets and later in the term rocks.
In D&T the children will be learning how to make their own warming soups.
In English and maths we will continue to follow the spiral curriculum.
It looks to be a very exciting term.
Grinshill’s Trip to Liverpool World Museum

We mummified a tomato
In Grinshill class today, we mummified a tomato. The children had to scoop out the insides, fill with hay, cover with scented oil, roll in salt then finally wrap in layers of linen.
Messy! Messy! Messy!
Weather in Grinshill
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
