Science in Dragonflies

In science we are looking at sound. This afternoon we were exploring how sound can change over a distance. As part of this we created string telephones to demonstrate how sound travels. We discovered that we could hear clearly through the cups as the string and the cups are solid, so the particles are much closer together than the particles in the air, which is a gas. The sound energy can travel from particle to particle far easier in the solid string telephone, so the sound of our voices were louder over the same distance than it was in the air. We had a great time discovering how sound travels over distance!

India was inspired to do this after knowing what a difference a real hair wig has made to people close to her. She is also raising money for Little Princess Trust to help produce the wigs. If you would like to donate towards this fantastic cause, India will be bringing her sponsorship form in next week. Well done India, we are all very proud of you and the difference you are making.

Summer Term in Dragonflies

Welcome back Dragonflies Class, we hope you all had a lovely Easter break!

We have got lots of exciting things to look forward to this term; swimming, Liverpool for year 4 and school trips just to name a few! Below is our timetable for this term.

Time table summer 1

Our topic this term is ‘Would I rather live in Mexico City or Shrewsbury?’ We will be learning lots of interesting things about each place through comparison.

We will start swimming lessons from Friday 26th April, so everyone will need to be in PE kit and bring their swimming kit with them on Fridays. We will no longer have PE on a Monday afternoon, but PE will continue on a Tuesday.

Please find the knowledge organisers for subjects this term below.  The knowledge organisers will tell you what the children will be learning and some key vocabulary they will encounter this term. We hope you find these helpful, please let us know if there is anything you would like to discuss.

Celebration Assembly 22nd February

It’s been an active week at Ruyton this week! Bikeability, Cross Country AND a Dodgeball Championship!

Firstly, a huge well done to our Year 6s who underwent Bikeability Training from Shropshire Council. This entailed two days of working with instructors to prove their ability to ride their bikes on the road safely including independent decision making around traffic in the village. We are proud that everyone who took part completed their Level 2 Bikeability!

Well done Year 6 🌟

Our KS2 Dodgeball Team then attended the Thomas Adams School in Wem for the North Shropshire Finals of the competition (following their success in Autumn Term).

Incredibly, our team – consisting of Year 4,5 and 6 players – got through to the semi-finals before narrowly losing out!

A massive well done to all the players involved – it is a super achievement for our small school and you represented us fantastically well.

Cross Country @ Corbet

All children in KS2 (Year 3, 4,5, 6) participated in a cross-country event at the Corbet School on Wednesday. Everyone completed the course – many for the first time- and showed super determination to achieve their best. Well done Team Ruyton!
