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.

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)
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:

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.
Today, Pimhill and Haughmond classes visited Leaton Church as part of their learning about the key questions ‘What is a Church?’ and ‘Why do Christians go to Church?’
We explored the inside and outside of the building and worked with Rev. Hannah, Rev. Mary-Lou, Pat and Val to find out the answers to our questions and complete to complete a church quiz.
We have joined up with Sentinel Cricket Club, via the Shropshire Cricket Board, to offer Year One and Wrekin Class cricket coaching every Tuesday this half term. Pupils will develop their catching, batting, tactical and fitness skills in a fun and engaging way!
Today the Year One children took part in the first of ten cricket lessons with cricket coach Mr Howard. They have got ten weeks of coaching to make them into potential Ashes winners of the future!
As part of our Science, where we have been learning about classification and how animals grow, Mrs Gregory brought in some rescue ducklings for us to see and hold.
Both Mrs Foster and Mrs Roberts are being trained as ‘Teaching for Mastery’ maths teachers. This is a hugely successful approach to teaching and delivering maths to children. It originated in China, which as a country has the worlds most successful mathematicians. It is still being developed across the UK, and we are very excited to be part of this project.
The maths that the children will see in these classrooms may look a little different to what they are used to. It does not require pages and pages of repeating sums, but to understand why they are doing it, what they know about it, how to explain the reasoning and how they can use that knowledge in other areas of mathematics.
If you have any queries that you want to discuss with either teacher please let them know.
Pupils from Year 1 up to Year 6 have been tasked with writing their letters of application for the upcoming School Council Elections.
The Committees are:
Elections will take place on Friday 14th September 2018 and new School Council members will be announced during the following week.
Good luck!
