This week the children collaborated to make a Mayan Calendar. They voted on which image to use to help them replicate it. They chose the harder one, but they did a great job at using clay to make their own version.

Healthy Helpers
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.
Welcome to Stiperstones class
Welcome back to a new school year. I hope you have had a great summer break.
This year we will be learning about ‘The Ancient Maya’. We will also be going on a school trip this term as well, more information to follow.
Below is a link to tell you more about what your child will be learning this term.
PE days are Thursday and Friday.
Homework will be given out on a Friday and due in the following Wednesday. It will be a mixture of online work and activities in homework books. Times tables will be a big focus in year 4 and 5, so daily practise on tables will really help your child. Children will be bringing home reading books this week with new reading records. It is really important for children to still read aloud to a grown up, pet dog, sibling or even via zoom to a grandparent!
Please remind your child to bring a water bottle to school, with only water in it please.
Miss Steadman and Mrs Oxford are also in Stiperstones class and we are all really looking forward to this year!
Any questions please ask.

Free Maths Workbooks to Support Your Child at Home
We would like to share with you a website to support your child in their maths learning. We use White Rose Maths in school, and they have now released some resources for Years 1-6 pupils to use at home. You can find them here, ready to download and print at home (you could even use them on screen, with your child working on paper!)
Decades Day
We have had a super day learning about all of the decades of Queen Elizabeth’s reign. We found out about life in the different decades and how it has changed since 1952. This included exploring clothes, TV, toys and music. For lunch Ro made us an eighties inspired dinner, with sponge and pink custard and in our P.E. lessons, we enjoyed ‘retro’ dances, including the Macarena, Whigfield’s Saturday Night and Achy Breaky Heart!
Here are some pictures of our day!

The Queen’s Jubilee Green Canopy
To start our celeberations for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee we planted 5 trees as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy.
In the rain Pimhill went out to dig the holes.
The sun shone when represenatives from each class came to plant a tree with Kris our Forest School lead and James Reynolds our govenor.
Lara led us in prayer .
In the afternoon Pimhill finished the planting and watered the trees.
Thank you to Albrighton Estate who donated our trees.

We also learnt a few words in Ukrainian.
