We are incredibly excited to share some very happy news today which we’re sure the children will be eager to hear too… Mrs Farmer has had her baby!
Baby Flynn arrived on Good Friday weighing 7lb 4oz. Mrs Farmer is doing really well whilst we hear Henri can’t do enough to help look after his new little brother!
Congratulations to Mrs Farmer, Mr Farmer, Henri and Flynn (and Poppy of course 🐾) – we are all so happy for your family and look forward to meeting Flynn very soon 💙.
Good morning Dragonflies, I hope you’ve had a lovely Easter break and spent time enjoying the Spring sunshine. I’ve been running and biking daily (very grateful to the Prime Minister the daily exercise allowance) including a 10 mile run today! I’ve spent time practising my piano too – I read somewhere that it takes 10,000 hours of practise to master a skill so thought I’d add a few hours on my journey – I’ll be jamming with Mrs Hindson before you know it! 🙂
Our daily activities will continue this week. Do your best, work your way through challenges and ask for timely help if needed.

I hope you all have a good day and don’t forget to do your bit to help at home. Remember, if there’s anything you’d like to share then you can send it to school through the school admin address.
Take care, all of you.
Miss Whit 🙂
Tomorrow should have been the Shrewsbury Half Marathon. Instead, Anouk’s designed this for us! Enjoy 🙂
With two days to go…!
We made it! Well done and thank you to each and every one of you have logged in to the school website to complete home learning activities over the past two weeks. We will have a little ‘break’ from our daily learning for Easter holidays, as we always do, and get back to lots more in a fortnight.
I’ve been sent some brilliant emails about what you’ve been up to – thank you for making this effort and keeping me entertained!
Here are your suggested activities for the day (based on our normal Friday timetable):
Other ideas for Friday:
Over Easter, TT Rockstars, Number Gym and all the programmes we use will still be available for you to use. But of course, there’s lots of other things to ‘learn’ – I’ve heard about children learning to make beds properly, doing the washing and even mastering their own ‘family meal’. Sounds like an eggstremely good thing to do, eggstraordinary use of your holidays!
Have a great fortnight – stay safe, be kind and share your smiles. I’m missing you very much – last day of Spring term is one of my favourites in school.
Enjoy 🐣
Miss Whit 🙂
Please see the e-mail from Telford and Wrekin Council offering support for people in need.
Shropshire Telford & Wrekin Beam – Phone-based support
Over the last 2 weeks we have been working on how we can continue to provide support for the young people who access our drop-in services.
From 2nd April 2020, Shropshire Telford & Wrekin Beam will be offering a call-back telephone service.
Please note that we are not offering a crisis or instant response service.
The support being offered is purely phone-based. We cannot provide support via email, text/messaging apps or on video calling platforms.
Accessing call-back support:
Young people can email us at AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk asking for support. Once they have emailed, an automatic response will ask for some more information. When this has been completed, a team member will contact them to discuss what help they need, and when the best time would be for a practitioner to call them.
Calls will be booked in with our practitioners within our usual drop-in times.
Accessing support without a call back:
Where a young person does not want to talk but still needs some support, they can still contact us via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk. We can send details of online resources, information and apps which can offer support.
Information for Professionals:
You can signpost any young people who you feel would benefit from knowing more about this offer to our website https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/beam/coronavirus.
You can also pass on the details as to how they get in touch with us. Please ask the young person to contact us via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.
We won’t be able to contact young people unless the request for contact from our service has come from the young person or their parent/carer.
For all young people who are aged 13 and under, their parent/carer will need to make a request on the young person’s behalf.
As with our face to face drop-ins, the young person should want to engage with us, and be able to do so over the phone.
Information for Parents/carers:
If you feel your child(ren)/young person would benefit from our support, please take a look at our website https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/beam/coronavirus.
For young people aged 13+ please ask them to contact us via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.
For young people who are aged 13 and under, you will need to contact us on their behalf via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.
As with our face to face drop-ins, the young person should want to engage with us, and be able to do so over the phone.
We will continue to innovate and adapt as we need to. This is an enormous effort from every corner of The Children’s Society to ensure we can continue to offer support to the children and young people we work with. For more information about how our charity is working at the moment, or to donate to our emergency Coronavirus appeal, please go to our website at https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/
Good morning everyone,
Well done to those of you logging in to TT Rockstars for your house… some of the matches are looking close! Looking at it, some of you have scored massive points for your time (yes, I’m talking about the Maths Wizard and Sam!) But every little helps – Anouk, Katie, Eva – keep adding up those points like you have done this week 👏🏻
As a reminder, make sure you’re following the internet safety advice we teach and practise in school (and also shared on website).
Here are your suggested activities for the day (based on our normal Thursday timetable):

Two days left of this very strange term. My daily runs / bike rides are really helping me, whilst I’m taking the chance to do things I don’t usually have time to such as playing the piano 🎹 (watch out Mrs Hindson!) I hope you’re spending time doing lots of things that make you happy too. Miss you all,
Miss Whit 🙂
Good morning Dragonflies and families! It April Fools Day and I’m on red alert for any tricks! Does anyone know where the tradition comes from?
‘Joe Wicks’ workout for children continues to be very popular! You will find the work out on You Tube ‘The Body Coach’ and it starts live at 9am. Get your grown ups involved too if you can 🙂
It’s great to hear different ways you’re completing some of your lessons; Torin managed to do some fantastic extra maths with a game of Monopoly! Great idea.
Here are your suggested activities for the day (based on our normal Wednesday timetable):

Good afternoon all!
We are very aware that the children will possibly be spending more time on the internet than usual at the moment for various reasons. E-Safety is a high priority in school and we regularly speak to the children about keeping safe on the internet. The DFE have put together a list of websites to help parents and carers keep their children safe online. They are as follows:
Feel free to have a look at any of these to support you at home and please remind your children to stay safe online!
Happy Tuesday! Today’s activities are below. All activities will stay up for the week on My Maths and Education City in case you’ve missed the chance to complete them.
