Here are our Stars for Friday 6th January 2023!
We have awards for Star of the Week, Presentation, Maths and Writing each week.
This term we will be having a change to our P.E. days as all the children will be having swimming lessons before Easter. P.E. days, therefore, will be Thursday and Friday. Please could you ensure that children come into school dressed in P.E. kit on these days.
Many thanks.
This week Pimhill and Haughmond have performed their 2022 Nativity, Baarmy Bethlehem, in front of two full audiences of parents, family and friends. All the children performed fantastically and have made al the staff very proud with the way they have learnt their lines and songs.
Thank you to all those who came along to support the , helped with learning scripts and provided costumes for the characters.
In Haughmond we have learnt about the importance of Children in Need, the work that they do and how we can help. We found out about the history of the charity and how Pudsey has changed since his creation in 1980.
Today in Haughmond we learnt about the symbolism of the poppy in remembrance. We watched the video attached below, joined the national 2 minute silence and found out about Walter Tull’s significance in WW1. Then, this afternoon we decorated poppy biscuits.

This week, Haughmond were visited by Hannah from Shrewsbury Museums and took part in a workshop to enrich our learning about Charles Darwin and why he is a significant person in history. We explored timelines using a range of artefacts, learnt about his life and work and made observations in his style using quill and ink! We really enjoyed our morning and learnt a lot of facts!
Today in Haughmond we had a visit from Lisa who runs Shropshire Falconry at Battlefield. She brought 5 different owls with her to launch our English topic, based on the book The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark. We learnt lots of facts about owls and were lucky enough to hold either Chris or Sid the owls. Biscuit, the long eared owl, flew over our heads to show how quietly owls are able to fly. One of the owls, Severus, was a black barn owl, which we found especially interesting, but our class favourite was Solo, the great horned owl who could wave hello and goodbye!
On Friday, Haughmond went for a visit to the Ironworks in Oswestry to learn all about different sculpture as part of our art topic. We found the extinction trail particularly interesting and enjoyed learning facts about all the animals. We discovered that lots of the sculptures had been made from scrap materials, and tried to identify all the parts we could see. We really liked the enormous gorilla made from car parts and were especially impressed by Hulk and the Transformer sculptures. We are going to use our learning to support and inspire our art work back in school.
Today, the school council members from Healthy Helpers carried out a Health and Safety audit of the school.
They walked around the entire school with the caretaker Mr Jones and Chair of governors Keith Lister. They made sure the school was safe and identified any issues that may need addressing. The children were very thorough and carried out their roles fantastically.
Today we visited Mission Church in Bomere Heath as part of our R.E. learning about why some places are sacred to believers. We looked at features of the church and Rev. Hannah taught us about them, and about how the colours in the church change according to the church calendar. We also found out about the different uses for the church building as well as being for Worship and found out about some of the ways that Christians worship in services.
