We opened up a shop where year 3 were customers or shop keepers and had to buy and sell items, give change and calculate totals. Year 3 enjoyed a practical learning approach which made learning about money fun and enjoyable.

We studied some of the buildings of Shrewsbury, then planned what our prints would look like. We then created the templates and experimented with different colours of ink. We had some lovely creations! As well as this, we had the opportunity to explore the museum too. There were different sections, including Shropshire, The Romans and Medieval Shropshire. We learnt lots!
4 months ago Posted on 11th Feb 2025 by Jake Andrew Safer Internet Day 2025 We marked Safer Internet Day today with a variety of activities. The theme this year is: ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online‘. We gathered in the hall for an assembly led by our Digital Leaders. They ‘scammed’ children into thinking they were winning some tempting prizes, but actually there were some bad consequences! The message was that if things are too good to be true…they often are! Later on, EYFS used songs and small world play to tell the stories about being safe. KS1 took part in a variety of different activities and KS2 took part in the BBC Live Lesson where we had to identify the signs of a scam. We even got a shout out on the BBC news feed!

We sang and chanted songs and showed our parents how each song could help with a different aspect of mathematics. We repeated stem sentences and looked at the models and images we use. We also chatted about subitising and it’s importance in our curriculum.
4 months ago Posted on 06th Feb 2025 by Katie Reese We’re Going On A Bear Hunt . . . We explore stories from our unique reading spine in a variety of ways in order to develop vocabulary and understanding. Today the children in nursery splashed in water, squelched in mud and stumbled through trees in order to find a bear! We were also able to innovate the story as the grass was not long and wavy. The children described it as, “short and frosty!” We also added ice to the story and slipped and slid on it! This also inspired mark-making.
