• Year 6 - Epic Adventures!

  Fri 18 Jun 2021

  This week, our Year 6 Short Woodies have been having the most amazing adventures! They have canoed down the River Severn, through the Ironbridge Gorge and under the famous Iron Bridge; they have spent a day in the Limekiln woods, and have even been lucky enough to see deer; and they have had a whole day at Forest School, making fires, clay sculptures and generally thoroughly enjoying themselves!

   

  Thursday was the day of our Year 6 picnic at lunchtime, followed by an afternoon of sports: cricket, football, rounders, boules and archery. And then Thursday evening, we welcomed the children back to school for an evening of pizza, baking bananas on the BBQ, outdoor discos and incredible inflatables! An amazing time was had by all - including the teachers!!

  

• An Exciting First Week Back!!

  Fri 11 Jun 2021

  Although we've only been back a few days, what an exciting and jam-packed few days they have been!

   

  Wroxeter Visit

   

  All of our Year 3 and 4 Short Woodies have been for a Roman experience day at Wroxeter. They all donned their laurel leaf crowns and spent the day learning about life in the Roman era. They managed to link their visit to the International Schools Mosaic Competition currently being run by the British Iron Works Centre in Oswestry. Whilst at Wroxeter, each child made their own individual mosaic, surrounded by the Roman ruins. And then, back in school, each of our Year 3 and 4 classes have worked together to create a collaborative, whole class mosaic - and they look amazing!!

   

  Time Capsules

   

  Across school, each phase has created a Covid era time capsule and the children have written letters to their future selves! We're are hoping that in 2040, the then Short Woodies will dig up our time capsules and be able to learn, from primary evidence, about what like was like during the pandemic. To make both the occasion and the space super special, we have planted four beautiful cherry blossom trees to mark the location of our time capsules.

   

  Eco Warriors

   

  A huge thank you to Finn and Lily Cosh who spent part of their half term holiday litter picking in our local area! Finn is one of our Year 4 Eco-Warriors, and we are very grateful to, and very proud of, the whole Cosh family for doing their bit to make our community a lovely place to live and come to school.
