Tommy S – ‘I like coconut’
Laith – ‘I liked the big massive crisp because it was yummy yummy in my tummy’
Tommy M – ‘I didn’t like the food today because it was spicy’
James – ‘I liked the bread the best, it had raisins in it !’
Jasmine – ‘I liked all of it’
Cody – ‘I liked the bread because it was yummy’

Grade 1 Violin

We were very proud to see Arthur receive his certificate for Grade 1 Violin. He explained to us what he had to do to achieve it and how he practises. Well done Arthur, keep up the dedicated attitude towards music.

A special deed

It has come to our attention that one member of our school made a particularly special gesture over Christmas. Freddie (Year 5 Owls) received a Christmas gift of money (£50!)  from a relative – but he chose to donate all of this money to the Food Bank! We are so very proud of Freddie for making such kind and thoughtful choices; he has been recommended for a Headteacher’s Award for this act of kindness. Well done Freddie – what an inspiration!

Sportshall Athletics 

On Tuesday, a team of athletes attended the Corbet School for their annual Sportshall Athletics Event.

Overall, we were very proud to come 3rd (out of 8 schools). Our Girls Squad finished 4th – an impressive result considering our team were Y4, 5 and 6 girls facing squads of Year 6! Meanwhile, we are delighted to announce the Boys Squad finished 2nd! This means they qualify for the North Shropshire Finals Event later in Spring – well done boys!

A special mention to Charlie who confidently took part as a Year 4 – she was not daunted by racing against older girls.

Also to Mia who won BOTH of her fielding events (javelin and chest push!), Elliot who won his long jump competition and Arthur who won the vertical high jump.

GO TEAM RUYTON!

Visit to Café Eleven

Following the children’s interest of role playing in our ‘Bumblebees café’, we decided to visit a real life Café!
The children were very excited to go to Café Eleven in the village.
First we sat and watched Karen serve all of the people in the Café, we saw her preparing food, making coffee and taking money then putting it in the till.
We then got to read some magazines whilst we waited to place our order.
We were very excited to go up to the counter and have a look at all the food on display and then place our order. We all had Hot Chocolate and Oreo’s, they were delicious!
Karen then showed us some coffee beans which we got to hold and smell, she then showed us what it looked like after it was ground down into a coffee powder, we loved the feel and the smell of it.
After finishing our Hot Chocolate we got to have a look at everything that the Café sells. We learnt lots and had a great afternoon !

Shropshire Music Service – the band!

We had an absolute BALL on Tuesday (13th December) as Shropshire Music Service Band visited and performed for the whole school! They played  a string of hits: Sweet Caroline, We Will Rock You and Eye of the Tiger to name a few (the staff enjoyed it as much as the children!) They also taught us about each of the instruments they were playing. We had a great time!
