Pimhill Class News
The Bomere Beagle – Issue 1
Hi everyone! I am proud to publish my Newshound Club’s first issue of their school newspaper – The Bomere Beagle.
A dedicated group of Year 5 and 6 pupils have been working hard to explore and write news stories about our school. They will publish the newspaper every few weeks throughout the year.
We hope you enjoy reading it and if you have a story for them, please let us know!

Reading Challenge
Today we are launching our ‘Reading Challenge’ and this time we have linked your child’s reading to several journeys around the world.
It’s not that easy to travel at the moment but we are thinking about people all over the world. Why not read your way around the world with the Reading Miles Global Challenge.
Collect 500 reading miles for every 30 minutes you spend reading, with a parent, carer, or your brother or sister. You could even video call your relatives and read aloud to them. You just need a signature, amount of time read and time you read at. Collect reading miles in a special reading passport on your very own reading world tour – a whopping 33,000 miles in total! Reading counts between 8am and 7pm.
The challenge is split into seven journeys, each of which finishes in a ‘checkpoint city’.
The following resources are available to download and print off to enable you to take part in the challenge.
• A wall map of the world charting the Reading Miles Global Challenge route
• A passport to record the reading
• A certificate for when you complete the challenge
• Postcards which you can complete when you reach checkpoint cities.
• All children that complete the each journey challenge will have their names entered into the draw to win the reading challenge box of goodies. Complete all 7 journeys and you will have 7 entries, so a much better chance of winning.

We hope you will enjoy and support us with this reading challenge.
Kind regards,
Mrs Sallie Roberts – Deputy Headteacher
Forest School
This week went on our first trip to our off site forest school.
Even though we were a small group we had great fun.
It was a long walk.
We climbed trees and best of all had chocolate and a biscuit round the camp fire.
School Clubs Excitement!
As you may know, Clubs commenced this week!
After a hiatus due to the pandemic, we are so pleased to start up our fantastic clubs again! The staff are delighted to welcome pupils after school and at lunch times to their respective clubs.
Please be assured that we are taking additional precautions such as extra cleaning, adults wearing face masks and keeping pupils from different classes separate during the club. We will continually review this.
Clubs we are running: netball, newshounds, colour and chat, felt, cross-stitch, choir, music, Young Voices, book club….and more!
If you wish your child to participate, please enquire in the school office!

Information for the Autumn Term
Welcome back to those who were in Pimhill before the holidays and welcome to all our new starters.
We have had a brilliant first day with all the children happy and settled into school. I’m looking forward to getting back to lots of fun activities!
This term our main topic is going to be about living on planet earth. We will be looking at features of both the made-made and natural environment. We will find out about a number of important people who have travelled around the world and maybe someone who has travelled into space. In other areas of learning we will also be exploring the weather, materials, and religious festivals. In Computing, we will begin the term by learning about the importance of staying safe when using technological devices and in music we will be learning about and responding to some famous pieces of music, starting with Mars by Gustav Holst. In Art we will be learning about the work of Andy Goldsworthy and other artists who used colour to create their artwork. Around half term we will be making salads and fruit salads for our DT learning.
In English our main texts will be Gingerbread man and Here come the pirates. There will be a phonics session for the class every day linked to both reading and spelling. Individual reading books will be sent home and will only be swapped by a member of staff in Pimhill, the books will be left for a period of at least 72 hours before they are given out to another child.
For the Year 1 we will continue to have weekly spelling tests, but for the time being spellings will be online rather than coming home in a book. Homework will also be set online each Friday, using some of the sites children became familiar with when school was closed.
In Maths we are continuing with our Mastery Approach to our learning and will be starting this term by ensuring we have a really good understanding of Number and Place Value before moving on to calculations. We will also be practising our number bonds each week so that we can secure these facts and use them to base our other learning on.
P.E. will be with Shrewsbury Town in the Community and will be on a Monday morning starting the week of the 7th September. Children need to come into school in their P.E. kit on those days please.
We will be having forest school sessions and again the children will need to come dressed ready. More information on this will follow.
As always, my door is open for any queries you may have, albeit metaphorically this term! However, if you would like to get in touch with me, please don’t hesitate to give Mrs Winwood a call in the school office to organise this.
I look forward to working with you and your children.
Mrs Foster.
