Summer Holiday Activities

Telford Urban Games – Free Sports Activities

Looking for something different to do this Summer Holiday?

Urban Games is Telford & Wrekin Council’s free programme of sports for kids, aged eight to 16, and wildlife activities for little ones, all taking place in a supervised space. It’s a great chance for children to have fun and learn new skills.

There really is something for everyone and with the Paris Olympics taking place this summer, children can get in on the action by having a go at archery, fencing, football, wrestling and table tennis.

All activities are run by qualified professionals at locations across the borough. There is no need to book a place.

Sessions are free to attend funded by the council’s Safer & Stronger Communities programme with support from the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Government’s Levelling Up Fund.

Last week information.

Just a reminder that next week is STEAM week and on Monday the children can dress up as someone who works in the field of science, technology, engineering, art or music.

Tuesday we will be collecting in reading books and not giving out new ones as we need to mend and sort them for next year. Also if your child has any library books at home please could they be returned too.

On Wednesday reports will be sent home, please check your child’s bag. On the bottom of the page your child has written on there is a slip if you wish to comment and return it.

Finally, may we thank you for your continued support this year and wish you all a fantastic summer.

From the year one team.

Online Safety Parental Controls user guide

This guide will help you set up parental controls and adjust privacy settings to provide your
child with a safer online environment. Parental controls can help to protect your child from
seeing something that they shouldn’t — although it is important to emphasise that no system
is effective all of the time, so it is important to engage with your child and talk to them about
their online life regularly.

KS1 Author Visit – 09.07.24

Key Stage 1 were visited by Samantha Fletcher-Goodwin this morning. She shared her story “Glow From the Inside” which carried an important message – it is what is on the inside that counts and makes you who you are, not what you look like. The children really enjoyed her story and the activity of designing a wig for a lion who lost his mane.

Spellings

For the next two weeks please help your child learn to spell year one common exception words.

There will be no spelling test next Friday but the following week there will be a test

of random words from the list below.

Warwick Castle 26.06.24

Year 1 had a fantastic time at Warwick Castle on Wednesday! They explored the castle, saw a jousting show, a falconry display, a Zog performance and many more exciting things. The children behaved beautifully and we were very proud of them all, especially as it was so hot and busy. They were a credit to Apley Wood Primary Academy!

This week’s forest school.

Year one enjoyed forest school again this week. We worked in groups to build parts of a castle with natural materials.

Next Thursday we will be doing forest school again but as it is class photographs can children please come in school uniform and bring leggings if they have bare legs and a change of shoes- Please make sure they bring a water proof coat too incase of rain- lots of children didn’t this week

Thank you.
