Head of School Message

School has felt very autumnal this week as the colder and wetter weather has drawn in! Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat every day in school and appropriate footwear for the wet weather.

We have had our Year 4 parents in school hearing about our Liverpool residential in June next year. The powerpoint shared with parents will be put onto Class Dojo and shared on the Maple class page on the website.

A group of Year 5 and 6 children enjoyed a trip today to the Shrewsbury Club organised by Shropshire Tennis. They all behaved impeccably and had a wonderful time doing some tennis activities, having a Q&A session with some professional players, and watching the W100 quarter final games.

Parent Drop-Ins:

Parents are welcome to drop into classes to have a look at their child’s work and speak to the class teacher between 2 – 3pm and 3.30-5.30pm on Tuesday 22nd October, and 2-2.30pm and 3.30-5.30pm on Wednesday 23rd October
Birch Class ONLY – Drop-Ins on Wednesday 23rd October 2-2.30pm and 3.30-530pm (no drop-ins on Tuesday)

We hope to see lots of parents/carers for the PE Dance Showcase on Wednesday 23rd October at 2.45pm.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Mavin

Smartphone Free Childhood

This ‘Smartphone Free Childhood’ project aims to draw attention to the negative effects that smartphones and social media can have on children. One of the difficulties of reducing phone use is the use of smart phones within a child’s peer group. The research shows the problems that can come with smartphone use such as access to harmful content, addiction, academic distraction, cyberbullying and mental illness.

The Smartphone Free Childhood projects asks parents to “pledge” to a smartphone free childhood for their children.
