Year 5 B&V Visit

 

15th May 2026

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

During the summer term, the year 5 children will be experiencing a different range of visits and activities to develop tolerance and understanding of others. Our summer term topic in Beliefs and Values is Islam. With this, the children will gain an understanding into another religion and build an awareness around its principles. Leading up to a Mosque Visit (detailed below), the children will also attend an event at Cosy Hall (05.06.26) and will be attending an in school workshop from the Police Hate Crime team (11.06.26).

 

With this, the children will visit a Mosque (Telford Central Mosque) on Wednesday 1st July during the afternoon. This trip has been set up through our link with the Multicultural Service and has been planned to follow up on the Year 5 Beliefs and Values topic of Islam. We aim to leave school by 1:00pm and will return before the end of the school day. Children will eat lunch at school as normal.

 

During the visit the children will have an opportunity to explore the Mosque, making comparisons between the building and a Christian church; ask questions to leader of the Mosque and also be able to make links between the classroom based learning they have done and what this looks like in reality.

 

There is a voluntary contribution of £10.50 to help towards transport costs. If you would like any more information on the trip please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher. Please confirm attendance via parent pay.

 

Thank you for your support,

 

 

 

Mrs Kerr, Mrs Ollerenshaw, Mrs Parker and Mr Parker.

Piper Hair Donation

Piper is cutting her hair and donating at least 30cm to the Little Princess Trust Charity on Saturday 27th June. It costs the charity £550 to make her hair donation into a wig for a child going through cancer treatment so she is trying to raise this amount. The Just Giving page is below, there will also be a donation box in the school reception. Piper is hugely grateful for any donation, thank you.

Fidget Toys in School – Please Read.

We have recently seen an increase in children bringing squishy or gel-filled toys into school and referring to them as “fidget toys”. Unfortunately, many of these items are becoming a distraction during lessons and social times, and several have burst, causing mess and disruption within classrooms.

At our school, fidget resources are used carefully to support children with identified sensory or learning needs. Where appropriate, these are either:

  • Provided directly by the school
  • Specified as part of a child’s Individual Provision Map

To ensure these resources maintain their intended purpose and to minimise disruption to learning, children should not bring fidget toys or similar items into school unless they meet one of the criteria above.

Any such items brought into school without prior agreement will be confiscated and will need to be collected by a parent or carer.

We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a calm and focused learning environment for all children.

Many thanks.
