At the end of SATs week, our Year 6s were delighted to receive their Leavers Hoodies! How great (and grown up!) do they look? A huge well done to them all for working so hard in their SATs.

The Trading Game!
This term, Owls are learning about trade and economy as a theme through history in our topic, Deal or No Deal. Today we learned what trade means and factors that affect trade and its success, including: wealth of a country, trade partnerships, natural disasters, resources, taxes and governments. We had great fun selling shapes and trading equipment to achieve more money!
Easter Egg Hunt!
We held our annual Easter Egg Hunt today: the sun shone, the children smiled as they worked brilliantly in teams across the school, whilst the staff had fun hiding eggs! Another one for memory book at St John’s 🙂
A day for the Ukraine
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!
Forest School – Art Sculptures
As part of our Art and Outdoor Learning, we’ve been making observations and sketching patterns in the natural word before learning about how to sketch birds and flowers. Owls were very focused in their Forest School Art – it was a pleasure to see them engrossed in their art books in the woods.
As a whole class project, Owls also produced a sculpture of a pheasant (the National bird of Japan) using natural materials.
Red Nose Day Friday 18th – Grand total!
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.
Red Nose Day – Friday 18th March
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!
Pancake-flipping competition winners!
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):
Shrewsbury Half Marathon miles begin…!
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!
