🌱 Bright Sparks at Lower Heath are growing something special 🌱
Our One Voice Bright Sparks have launched a lovely new initiative at Lower Heath, all about inspiring a love of the outdoors and encouraging children to enjoy fruit and vegetables.
Every child has planted a courgette, lettuce and onion seed, which they are taking home to care for and grow. We cannot wait to see what happens over the coming weeks.
In July, we will be holding a friendly competition to see who has been the best gardener, celebrating effort, care, perseverance and patience.
There is growing evidence that children are more open to tasting and enjoying vegetables when they have grown them themselves, so we are hopeful this project will help children feel proud of what they have produced and more willing to give their own veg a try.
At Lower Heath, we love opportunities like this where learning goes beyond the classroom. Our children are letting their light shine, connecting with nature, building responsibility and inspiring each other to live healthier, happier lives.
Thank you to our One Voice Bright Sparks for leading the way 🌱

Owl Class Foundation Lessons
This week, in our afternoon lessons, we have been busy developing our learning in a number of areas. We have developed our ability to describe the planets of our solar system in French; we have studied what are main energy sources in the the United States by using maps; we have learnt about the cycles of life and rebirth in the Hindu religion and have found out about how we use light to see objects. A very busy week!

🎶 What an incredible day bringing our Trust together through music!
It was fantastic to welcome 150 singers from Marches Academy Trust schools to St Oswald’s, Oswestry for an inspiring African Gospel Singing workshop. A huge thank you to all the children who joined us – you were all absolutely brilliant! 🌟
The energy in the room was amazing, with children not only enjoying a wide range of songs but also learning about their meaning and importance within African culture. The atmosphere was full of joy, confidence and celebration, with everyone encouraged to take part and express themselves.
We also loved hearing this reflection from Emily:
“We really enjoyed yesterday. We got to sing all sorts of different songs and learnt about what the songs actually mean to African culture. The people were very full of life and so was the crowd. You didn’t have to feel embarrassed to have a good time. Me and my friend even got a special shout out for our effort and interest in the event. It was genuinely a great experience and I would 100% go again.”
👏 What a fantastic experience for everyone involved!

In Robin Class, in phonics, the children have been focusing on the phoneme “k”, exploring words and sounds that begin with this letter and building their confidence in early reading skills.
In the messy tray, they got wonderfully creative with a sensory mix of chia seeds, water and blue paint. It is safe to say things got delightfully messy, so you may spot a few stray seeds at home. This activity has supported sensory exploration as well as fine motor development.
In maths, the children have been learning about 2D shapes, with a focus on circles. They created their own circle pictures using a range of different sized circles, helping them recognise shapes in a fun and hands on way.
In music, the children explored loud and quiet storm sounds using a range of instruments. They experimented with volume and rhythm to represent different elements of a storm, developing their awareness of sound while encouraging creativity and expression.
Another busy and engaging day of learning at Lower Heath 🌟

Skylark Class have been busy learning all about the plant life cycle🌻
The children have been planting runner beans and sunflowers and are excited to watch them grow and change over time.
They have extended their learning through our continuous provision, creating beautiful flower sculptures and artwork, exploring playdough life cycles and even producing their own mini book inspired by The Extraordinary Gardener. It has been lovely to see their creativity flourish alongside their scientific understanding.
We especially enjoy hearing the children talk about their learning with one another, using rich vocabulary and working together so confidently 🤝

Robin Class have had a fantastic time outdoors, making the most of the fresh air and space to explore 🌿
The children have been busy developing both their fine and gross motor skills through a range of active, hands on activities.
Alongside this, they have been practising teamwork, turn taking and social skills, learning how to play cooperatively, share ideas and support one another. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they play and learn together 😊🐦

In Owls, we put our science learning into action as part of our light and shadows topic 🦉💡
The children were challenged to prove that light travels in straight lines. Using straws and card, they worked together to show that light cannot travel around corners, providing clear and practical evidence through their investigations.
There was some fantastic teamwork, thoughtful discussion and excellent scientific thinking on display. We were really impressed with how confidently the children explained their ideas and findings.

We’ve had a fantastic week of learning, making the most of the beautiful sunshine and some hands on experiences ☀️
We started the week by taking our French lesson outdoors, enjoying the fresh air while learning. The children were fully engaged and it was lovely to see them learning in a different setting.
As part of our school growing challenge, we also got busy in the garden, planting lettuce, courgettes and onions. The children showed great care and enthusiasm, and some of our Kingfishers have already spotted the first green shoots appearing 🌱
In Art, we continued our work on the Amazon rainforest, creating mood boards to explore its colours, textures and atmosphere. The children loved gathering ideas and thinking creatively about how to represent this vibrant environment.
In Science, we built on our learning about circuits by creating our own buzzer games. The children worked brilliantly, growing in confidence as they used and recognised the scientific symbols for each component.
In English, we explored our class text Journey through role play. The children took on the role of the unfriendly guard, using body language and tone to bring the characters to life. There were some very convincing performances.
To top it all off, we were so excited to receive the new books we chose using our Colour Run fundraising money. The children were buzzing and have already started enjoying a wonderful range of fiction, non fiction and “choose your own adventure” books 📚
