Making Treasure Maps in The Hazels

We went over to The Hazels this week to create some treasure maps. We had to orientate our maps correctly and then drew on some landmarks to help people follow the maps to some coins that had been hidden. Lots of learning on show and lots of fun was had!

Comic Relief 2025 at SAF

We celebrated Comic Relief 2025 in school by having a ‘Hop-a-thon’ on the field! Each class had a session to see how many hops they could do. We also were selling red noses and children wore their own clothes. Overall we raised £462 for the amazing charity.

Spring is Here!

Mr Andrew’s class went up to The Hazels today to celebrate the first day of Spring! We looked for sign of new growth during a nature walk, and then collected some sticks in. We explored the area and enjoyed the chance to explore the outdoors!

Trip to Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery

Year 5 travelled to Shrewsbury today to take part in a printing workshop at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery. 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!

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!

Crumble Fairground Rides

To complete our Computing unit this term, Year 5 are coding and creating their own fairground rides. They had to make the sparkle flash green for go, then start spinning using a motor and then flash red when it was stopping. Everybody worked very hard and should be proud of their creations!

Year 5 Visit to Telford Central Mosque

We had the opportunity to visit Telford Central Mosque to tie in with our RE unit last term. The Imam welcomed us and explained some of the key principles of prayer as a Muslim. We went into the main prayer space and found out how often Muslims pray, where they face and why the building is build the way it is. We all found the experience very useful and learnt lots!

Euan: “I found out that Muslims face Meccah when they pray. For us in England, it is South-East.”
Emilee: “I liked that the walls were fairly plain as it meant people won’t get distracted when they pray.”
LaShanda: “I liked finding out about what times Muslims pray and how it changes over the year.”

Young Coders

11 of our UKS2 children have signed up for the Young Coders competition this term. We will be working on Scratch to design a game to help people ‘Budget Better’, which is this year’s theme. We analysed a range of games today to get some ideas for our own ones. We are excited to see what they come up with!
