Shropshire Star Cash for Schools Success! 🥳
We had a very exciting visit from the Shropshire Star yesterday. We were informed we came in the top 5 schools in their ‘Cash for Schools’ competition. We managed to collect over 1500 tokens (which works out at around 17 tokens per child) putting us in 3rd place and winning £2000!!! This is a fantastic achievement and a real community effort! Thank you to everyone for collecting the tokens and a special thankyou to the Friends for entering us into the competition and organising the collection and sending off of all the tokens!
Multi-sports Festival 🏃🏸
A group of Year 2 and Year 3 children had a fantastic time at The Corbet School this morning! They attended a multi-sport festival run by pupils from Corbet. They had lots of fun and completed a range of different activities – from relay running to the egg and spoon. Take a look at them in action…
Ramadan & Eid
The children in Bumblebees have been learning all about the Muslim festivals of Ramadan and Eid. They enjoyed learning about why Muslims fast, when and what they eat during Ramadan and how they celebrate Eid.
The children were excited to see pictures of ladies and girls who had decorated their hands with Mehndi. Some of the children then made their own Mehndi hands with clay. Once dry, the children enjoyed painting them in bright colours, like the colours used to decorate houses for Eid celebrations.
Great work Bumblebees !
Shrewsbury Half Marathon 👏
A huge congratulations to all our amazing children who took part in the Shrewsbury half marathon on Saturday. You ran, you laughed, you smiled: you were an inspiration to us all! We couldn’t be prouder of each and everyone of you. Thank you to all the families too for their support on the day too 🙌
