Headteacher’s Message

We had a great day yesterday with our Coronation celebrations.  A big thank you to Miss Craig for organising our celebration events, the catering team for a fantastic celebration lunch and to our families who were able to come and join us. We were delighted to see so many families together in school.

Congratulations to Efosa in Year 3, who has been selected to train with Shropshire County Tennis team.  This is a huge achievement and we are very proud of him. Our Y3/4 Girls Football team, also demonstrated fantastic skills yesterday, when they won the final against Grange Park.  It was such an exciting match and they played brilliantly.

Our annual parent questionnaire goes live on the website for you to complete next week.  We very much value your feedback, both the positives to share with staff and your ideas about how we can improve and develop further.  The link to the questionnaire will be on the news section of the website and on the classroom showcase for each year group.

Well done to everyone who received a Headteacher’s award this week, they should be proud of their efforts and achievements:

WB 02.05.23 – Year 1 Nature Detectives

Year 1 were Nature Detectives this week, we went on a walk around the school grounds to look at all of the different flowering plants. As we walked around the school grounds we took photos on the iPad to look at when we returned to class. We then grouped the flowers according to the colour of their petals, and created a tally chart to show our findings.

 

Sacred Places Visits

Over the last fortnight, Year 4 have had two fascinating visits to sacred places in Wellington. Firstly, we visited Christ Church where we were able to see the beautiful stained glass windows, font and altar as well as listen to the organ being played. Then, we were welcomed to the Mosque where We learnt all about the way Muslim’s pray and the learnt about the similarities between the two religions.

Thank you to everyone who made us feel so welcome.
