We will be taking part in the Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel during 20–31 March 2023.  This is the UK’s largest walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling challenge. It inspires pupils to make active journeys to school, improve air quality in their neighbourhood and discover how these changes benefit their world.
The 2023 challenge
It’s more important now than ever to travel actively.  Active travel is a great way to build physical activity into  children’s daily routine. It helps them arrive to school
more relaxed and alert, and is great for their mental wellbeing too.   On each day of the challenge schools compete to see who can record the greatest number of pupils walking, using a wheelchair, scooting or cycling to school.
A school’s best five days will determine their final position and schools at the top of their leaderboards will receive an exclusive Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel
certificate.

We have plenty of space for bikes and scooters in our bike racks.  Let’s see how many active school journeys we can make!

Thank you to everyone who has attended parents evenings this week, if you haven’t had an appointment yet and would like one, please contact the office to arrange a meeting with the class teacher.

What a fantastic achievement for our Young Voices choir – they are riding high in the charts with the charity single they performed on with Heather Small.  The single is to raise funds for the charity Place2Be, supporting Children’s mental health and I’m so proud of our children for participating.

We have had lots of positives in school this week, World Book day on Monday was fantastic, the children were really engaged with their reading and book related activities.  Thank you to Mrs Williams for organising the day and setting us a challenging book quiz in assembly.  Well done to Year 5, Year 2 and Year 1 who have demonstrated super behaviour on visits out or with visitors in school this week,  i’ve received many lovely comments and feedback about them.  The coach drivers who took Year 5 to London were very complimentary, about how the children conducted themselves whilst away, when they returned last Friday.

Telford and Wrekin Local Authority have their Ofsted inspection for SEND over the next few weeks.  Please take time to complete the questionnaire that was sent out this week.  The questionnaire is for parents and children and can also be found at the link below.
