This week at forest school, the children in Hedgehog Class drew their own map of the forest, plotting land marks such as gates, the fire pit, the shelter, badger set and so on. This was not an easy task but they did a fabulous job!
Next week, Kris will hide Easter eggs and then put crosses on the children’s maps so that they can find them. What an fantastic set of skills for them to learn!
Today we enjoyed a day of wearing yellow and blue in tribute to the Ukraine in light of recent events. We were also visited by Marianna Davis who spoke to all the classes about her work with Ukranian refugees. She then received our donations which had been made from the friends and families of school. Well done and thank you to everyone involved, with particular thanks to Mrs Davis for giving up her time to share her important messages – we were in awe of what you have achieved with your team so far!
The Reception children have been busy practising their fine motor skills recently. Look at this fantastic cutting out!
A huge thank you to the children, families and staff for their very kind donations. The Fun & Games Council totalled the pennies and announced an incredible total of £194.27!! WOW!
Well done to everyone for such a great effort.
On Friday 18th March we are celebrating Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day in style!
Firstly, “Wear your favourite outfit” on Friday… from football kits to party dresses, wear whatever you love most. It’s all about YOU!
Secondly, we are holding a Bake Sale on Thursday and Friday. If you can, bake or donate some cakes for Fun & Games Council to sell over the two days: all money raised will be donated to Comic Relief.
Eco-Team have also set another challenge: it has been Fair Trade Fortnight over the past two weeks so they have challenged any bakers to use a Fair Trade ingredient in their creations… Good luck!
Last week we held our ‘Pancake Flipping’ competition which had been organised by the Friends of Ruyton. The Fun & Games Council ran a timed ‘flip’ where children could toss the pancakes as many times as possible…
Congratulations to our winners (pictured below with Fun & Games Council):
The Ruyton Runners took to the fields at lunch time today to complete their first mile. It was inspiring to see so many runners from Reception to Year 6 running together – there are 33 runners in total taking part in this challenge!
Many of these runners had signed up to complete the Shrewsbury Half Marathon on Saturday 9th April – one mile down, 13 to go!
The Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 children were very busy looking signs of spring at forest school today. They were also busy looking for buds on the trees. The children have been making observations of how the forest school site changes throughout the year as part of their science work on “Seasons”. We can’t wait to put all of the photos that we have collected across the year together and see how the site has changed!
It’s great to have some beautiful sunny days again! The reception children took full advantage of the sunshine on Friday afternoon during their child initiated time. Look at all of those gross motor skills being developed! They were also developing their personal and social skills by sharing and taking turns. Well done Reception!
Today we welcomed Reverend Burns into school to lead our daily Worship. Owl Class children were involved in some acting too to deliver the message about honesty through the story of Peter (and a little help from Pinocchio!)
