The Grand Opening of the Adventure Playground
Roday we finally held the grand opening of our brand new Adventure Playground! The playground has been funded by money raised by our incredible Friends group; we couldn’t be more grateful for the effort you have all made for our children to create a year-round area the children can use. Thank you to everyone involved in the building and construction too included Ray Parry and his team.
Chair of Governors, Keith Lister, helped Andreas cut the opening ribbon and all the children were able to have a first play on the area. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening!
The Selman family also joined in the celebrations; Mrs Selman held a birthday party which saw all funds raised donated to our playground! Amazing!

Wonderland!
Hedgehog Class have had the most fantastic day at Wonderland, Telford today! We visited the houses of various Traditional Tale characters, went on some fun rides and took part in a brilliant storytelling session with the Mad Hatter! This has all helped to enhance the work that we have been doing in class on Traditional Tales this term. We were shown some new ones that the children didn’t know as well so, we’ll be learning them over the next few weeks. The children have all had a great day and made us incredibly proud of their behaviour! Well done team!
Wonderland, Telford have kindly given each child in Hedgehog Class a free return ticket which expires in September. These will be handed out to the children tomorrow.

SNOW DAY!!!

Women who inspire us!
Today is International Woman’s Day. We have spent some time talking about why we celebrate International Woman’s Day and things we can do to work together to create a world where everyone is equal.
Here are some of the women who inspire us…
Palm Sunday
This week, we have been learning about Palm Sunday in RE. The children have joined in with role play, made their own flags, written “Hosanna” on palm leaves and decorated them, built the gateway to Jerusalem using Duplo and painted pictures of Jesus arriving in Jerusalem. They’ve had a great time and know so much more about Christian beliefs around Easter already!
