Dear Parents,

Boys who registered their interest for Computing Club on a Thursday should have brought home a small homelink message today, to say that they are welcome to attend. The club is now FULL. All children who registered an interest have been offered a place.

Year 6 Mosque Visit

Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Telford Central Mosque today. We are very grateful to the Imam and Mr Maqsood for helping arrange the visit. The children were fantastic and learned an awful lot during their time there. Revered Merry also attended the visit and it was great to show the understanding of both faiths to the children. 

Here a few quotes that the children gave about their visit:

“It was really fun to learn about another religion and visit their place of worship…”

“I thought it was really informative and I learned lots of new things…”

“My favorite part was learning some Arabic words…”

“It was fun to get to see their prayer mats and listen to the talk about how important the pillars are in Islam…”

Boys Computing Club (Thursdays) – apologies

Dear Parents,

Unfortunately, due to the large number of replies generally, I was unable to finalise a number of children for computing club, for which I apologise.

The maximum number of boys I can take will be 20. Any unsuccessful children will be automatically put forward to the Summer club, which is open to boys and girls.

Any children who asked to attend will bring home a slip, informing you whether there is space for them to attend, by the end of Tuesday.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Regards,

Mr Butler.

1st February Music morning and MFL visit to Burton Borough

Today, we were visited by Miss Simpson from TACT and she delivered a musical theatre workshop for all children.

Yr6 children learned how to sing Circle of Life and performed the song fantastically well.

This afternoon, the whole of Yr6 walked round to Burton Borough to have some French and Spanish taster lessons. Lessons were led by Mrs Irvine-Remson, Mrs Morgan and Mrs Reciogarcia. Thank you to the MFL department of Burton Borough for welcoming us in to the school and for providing some very enjoyable lessons.

Year 3 Spellings and Homework to be tested Friday 8th February

Class 3P and 3J spelling / homework due dates will remain with the same days that they are currently using. Please contact your class’s teacher if you are unsure.

Please help your children learn their spellings by writing each word out several times, playing games with them (hangman, spelling tennis etc).

Children will be tested on their 3x, 4x and 5x tables this week during Times tables Rock Stars (TTRS) and during their ‘in school’ tests. We would like them to be allowed to access TTRS at least 5 mins every day, if possible.
