Wem Rotary Young Achievers 🏆

What a joyful evening at the Wem Rotary Young Achievers Award, alongside eight local primary schools, celebrating pupils who truly make a difference!

It was inspiring to hear the incredible things children are doing in our community. A huge thank you to Roger Ashton and the Rotary team for restarting this event. Each child received a certificate and book token, a lovely way to mark their achievements.

We are so proud of our nominee, Hattie Breese, who is richly deserving of this recognition. Inspired by her family connection with Down’s syndrome, she raised awareness through an assembly and set up our Dance of Down’s Syndrome school club, which is going from strength to strength. Hattie truly lets her light shine and lives out our Christian values every day. She is kind, inclusive and always thinking of others.

Well done, Hattie, a fantastic and well deserved achievement.

We were incredibly proud to see our pupils’ artwork officially unveiled at Prees railway station as part of Community Rail Week. The project, Lines Through the Land, brought together our children, local artist Cathy Williams, 3 Counties Connected Community Rail Partnership and members of the wider community to create a truly special installation that celebrates the identity, history and natural beauty of Prees.
Through a series of creative workshops, each class explored different aspects of our local area, from Bronze Age roots to farmland and wildlife, producing a vibrant collection of artwork that now has a permanent home at the station.
This has been a meaningful opportunity for our children to contribute to something beyond the classroom, helping them to understand the importance of community, belonging and taking pride in where they live.

A huge thank you to Cathy Williams and Josie Rayworth along with station volunteers and community members, for making this possible.
If you are passing through Prees station, do take a moment to have a look and celebrate the creativity of our pupils and the story of our village.

Reading The Game ⚽

It was great to welcome Coach Neil from Shrewsbury Town Football Club on Thursday to Owl Class. Reading The Game is a programme designed to enhance reading and writing skills through the medium of football. We had a great session in the classroom followed by a PE session where Owls developed their football skills.

Well done Owls.

Writing in Owl Class 🦉👍🖌️

Owl class are great writers. At the end of our current writing unit, the children edited and assessed their writing against the appropriate year group expectations. The children worked together to assess, edit and improve their own and each other’s writing.
Well done Owls - this is work to be really proud of.

Welcome to a new term! 🌞

Our phonics song of the week is The Wheels on the Bus, and we have been introducing the new phoneme 'r'. The children enjoyed joining in with the familiar song and listening out for words that begin with the letter sound 'r'.

In maths, we focused on the composition of the number 3. The children used three counters and explored the different ways to make 3. They practised grouping and rearranging the counters, helping them to understand that numbers can be made in different combinations while still representing the same total.

Our story of the week is The Naughty Bus. The children enjoyed listening to the story and talking about the bus's adventures. They were encouraged to predict what might happen next and discuss their favourite parts of the story.

For Messy Monday, the children explored sand and water play. They independently mixed the materials together to create puddles and enjoyed making tracks using a variety of tools and vehicles. They watched with fascination as the tracks gradually disappeared, encouraging curiosity, investigation, and early scientific thinking. This activity supported sensory exploration, problem-solving skills, and imaginative play while developing fine motor control and cooperation with their peers.

Messy Monday 18th May💦🔫

Messy Monday was all about water play. Mrs J put something in the water that made it crackle and pop, and the water turned blue! It sounded just like sausages sizzling in a pan.
Our phoneme is “u” and our phonics song is still A Sailor Went to Sea.
In Maths this week, we are recapping all that we have learnt this term. On Monday, we learnt about first, then, next, plant and grow. On Tuesday, we learnt about first, next, last, before and after.
Tuneful Tuesday was our open afternoon. The children enjoyed taking part in painting and sensory activities, and it was lovely to see everyone having so much fun!

A school disco might look simple, but these are the moments children remember. Time with friends, music, a chance to just enjoy being together and feel part of something. At Lower Heath, those moments do not just happen by chance. They rely on people giving up their time, stepping in and making them possible.
Thank you to the parents who helped run the disco this week. It takes more than people realise to organise, supervise and keep everything running smoothly, and we really appreciate it.
The children had a brilliant time, and that is what matters most.

School Family Picnic 🧺🌞

What a special way to mark the end of SATs! Our annual whole school picnic is always a highlight, a chance to celebrate the children’s hard work and recognise this important rite of passage.
Once again, we were blessed with wonderful weather, which made the afternoon even more enjoyable.
A fantastic addition to this year’s event came from our One Voice leaders group, who suggested an adults v children football match. Expertly refereed by Mr Holt Williams, it was a brilliant game with parents and children giving it their all. The final score, although a little disputed, was 7–7. Huge thanks to Mr Lamb for captaining the adults team!
It was a truly joyful afternoon, full of laughter, teamwork and togetherness. Well done to One Voice for such a great idea, and thank you to everyone who got involved. Moments like this reflect our values so strongly, community, respect and supporting one another, and remind us what makes Lower Heath so special.
