Children will have brought home a letter last night outlining our exciting Pet Day on Friday 24th January. A copy of that letter is included here too.

It is a fab day, with the intention of learning all about how to care for our pets.

The reply slip is to be returned to the teacher outlining permission for your child to participate. (Any child who is anxious around animals will not be expected to be around those animals and will be safely away from pets when in class)

Teacher would like to hear about any pets that children have and that may be available to be brought in by yourself for a short, timed visit in school. Teachers will arrange this with you directly as they will be wanting to arrange a range of different pets across the day.

Sadly, not everyone will be able to bring a pet into school. We will be encouraging any child who wants to talk and share about their pet to bring in a photograph to share. There will be time in the day for everyone to talk about their own pet.

We are excited to say we are being visited by local vet, Mike Madden and also by Jelly Exotic Pets, who will be talking to the children during the day too.

Sounds like a fun day!!

Concerns have been raised around the way some parents are driving and parking along Avenue road, especially at drop off time in the morning. Cars have been seen to mount the kerbs as children and other parents are walking along. The advice given by the Police in this matter is for parents with concerns to call 101 directly to report those traffic concerns or to do so through the Telford and Wrekin Public Protection site and contact the Neighbourhood Enforcement Team.

Today teachers have renewed their Emergency Paediatric Training with the RLSS. We all passed!

Over the Christmas break our caretaker has painted the swimming pool! It looks clean and very tidy for 2025!

On your date children should attend in old clothing: they must wear long sleeves and long trousers.  We ask they bring wellies, a waterproof coat and ideally waterproof trousers.
