We had a fantastic afternoon today as Baschurch brought two football teams for a set of matches. Ruyton kicked off with a great 2-0 win, followed by a Baschurch penalty in the second game leading to a 1-0 Baschurch win. The last two games were both at 0-0!
A brilliant effort from all the boys from both schools; it was fantastic to see such talent and effort.
A special thank you to ex-pupil (and football legend!) Will Thomas and his friend Sam who came and refereed the matches. Superstars!
⭐️ JUBILEE FUN RUN TOTAL ⭐️We’re excited to be able to announce the total raised from the jubilee sponsored fun run held at school just before the half term holiday!! You all raised a total of £731.50 and thanks to all those that completed the gift aid sponsor forms, Mrs Aspinall placed a claim with the HMRC for a further £176.63 in gift aid. Therefore, the TOTAL for the fun run is:
£908.13!!!! 😁.
Carol Aspinall (Friends):
“That is a truly fantastic amount for such a small school to have raised and I am really proud to be part of such a fantastic school community, well done everyone!! With previous events and fund raising, we are now well on the way to having raised a very large part of the monies we need to be able to build a super new adventure playground at the school and hope to be able to book this for the next school year which will be fantastic! Thank you all.”
Fun Fest on 16th July next! 😁
It was just wonderful to see the school grounds filled with so many people enjoying the Village Jubilee Celebrations on Saturday. On behalf of the school, we would like to say a huge well done and thank you to the organisers for bringing everyone together – this includes our Chair of Governors, Keith Lister, and his wife Alyson. Alyson also continues to help keep our sensory garden which many people commented on as we all enjoyed the school grounds in the sunshine. We thank you both. In case you missed it, here is the School Hall and our children’s work in all its royal glory !
We enjoyed a delicious Jubilee Picnic on the last day of half term – the sun shone as we replenished our energy levels after the Fun Run! As you can see; it was red, white and blue with smiles all round!
We hope you enjoy your Platinum Jubilee celebrations as much as we did in school this week.
We had a brilliant day of Jubilee celebrations on Friday with a Jubilee Fun Run! Dressed in red, white and blue, the whole school got warmed up and took part in a sponsored run, organised by the Friends of Ruyton.
We were delighted to welcome Mr & Mrs Gittins to the event to not only start the races, but join in too!
Thank you to Mr & Mrs Gittins for spending the morning with the children and also Mrs Aspinall & Mrs Beddoes for their help on the day. We can’t wait to find out how much money was raised!
The homework effort for our Jubilee Project has blown us away this week! A huge well done to all the children who spent their time making some incredible pieces of work to show the last 70 years: the RAF, farming, football and climate change were just some of the themes are children chose. These brilliant pieces will be on display at the Village Jubilee Party in the school hall on Saturday 4th June.
This week, in celebration of the Jubilee, Owl Class have developed their sketching skills to create these portraits. Well done Owls!
They will be displayed at the Ruyton Village Jubilee Celebration on Saturday 4th June.
In the latest Computing Network for staff, Shropshire Council speakers shared these great resources. The first is a snapshot from Ofcom who have released the 2022 findings from their research into Media Use and Attitudes to raise awareness of what children may be accessing.
Also, they shared a brilliant website ‘Parent Zone’ which gives clear guidance about how to manage safety features on different apps / programmes whilst giving further details about how they work. It’s really useful to stay up-to-date in the ever-changing world of technology. Check out the link below :

If you have any questions, please speak to Miss Whit (Computing Lead) who will endeavour to help!
Owls became gardeners this afternoon as we planted sunflower seeds as part of our science topic. They were named (‘Crumpet’, ‘Coutinho’, ‘Sun Drop’, ‘Bob’ and ‘Loki’ to name a few!) and a few magic touches made in hope they become the tallest in class! We will be observing the growth stages as they progress and learning about life cycles. We can’t wait to see these bloom having chosen them with thought to the Ukraine.
As part of our RE topic, ‘Creation & Science: Conflicting or Complementary?’, we have been learning how to use acrylic paints on fabric to create a new wall-hanging which will tell the Christian story of Creation, according to Genesis. Owls were encouraged to think about symbols and colour which would reflect the meaning of each day of the Creation story.
We look forward to seeing the final product!
