Visit from Imam Sohayb
Today Imam Sohayb from Church Stretton Mosque came to talk to us about life as a Muslim and answer our questions. He told us about his daily life and also showed us artefacts like the Qur’an and his prayer mat. We learnt lots about what his faith means to him and how it helps him.
Nativity Activity!
We would like to say a big well done to the Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils who this week have performed their Nativity to their parents! Each performance has been fantastic – some excellent singing, acting and dancing! And who could forget the wonderful costumes?
We would also like to say thank you to all of the parents, carers, family members and friends of the school who have attended the performances and assisted in costumes, props and getting children ready for the shows!
We look forward to more of the same next year!
London’s Burning by Haughmond
In our D&T lessons we have been making models of houses from 1666.
Today, before lunch, we set up our houses close together, like they were in London in 1666. Kris came to help us burn them down like the Great Fire of London.
The burning started slowly but got quicker, and in the end all that was left was some of the wooden frames and a big pile of ash all over the fire area!
Harrison said that it was a “super good” activity and Crystal said that she was “really excited to do the burning.”
Here are some photos of our houses on fire!
Children in Need
Today we have all been learning about the work of Children in Need and some of the projects they support. We began our day by joining in with Joe Wicks’ Big Morning Move, along with 5300 other schools from all over the country, and learnt about some of the projects he has been involved in with Children in Need.

Harvest Service
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)
Times Tables
In Year Two, we have to learn our 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Here are some videos we have been using in our class to help us learn them.
Positive Pals and Negative Nags!
In our PSHE lesson today we were learning about how our mindset has an impact on how we feel and sometimes on how we learn. We found out about two types of people, positive pals and negative nags, and thought about how each type of person may act. We talked about how we can be a positive pals for our own learning and for our classmates and strategies for when we are stuck or finding things difficult.
These pictures show our positive and negative body language ideas.
Archery Doubles
This week we have been learning about doubling and halving. We have used this game as part of our learning.

Reading Eggs / Reading Eggspress!
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.
