Recently, we welcomed the Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service for a special visit, where the children learned all about fire safety and what to do in an emergency. They were fascinated to discover that firefighters do so much more than put out fires, including helping at road traffic accidents, rescuing animals, supporting during floods and promoting safety across the community 🚒

In English, the children have been diving deeper into their topic on blue whales, using their poetry skills to create fantastic whale poems. They confidently included command sentences, similes, prepositional phrases and some brilliant onomatopoeia, showing just how creative they can be.

In PE, all their skills were put to the test during a dodgeball tournament, with throwing, dodging at speed, tactics and teamwork on full display, alongside excellent sportsmanship and growing confidence.

To celebrate National Science Week, learning was doubled up with hands on investigations into keeping our teeth clean and healthy, followed by joining the NFU Live Science Lesson. The children explored farming and revisited states of matter through learning about cows and sugar beet, making strong real world links to their science learning 🔬

Kingfishers have also proudly agreed on a new class motto, “Try your best, be the best version of you,” and have embraced a brand new multiplication challenge alongside the Reading Challenge. The class is showing fantastic determination as they work together towards their goal, truly living out their motto every day.

Robin Class had a fantastic adventure at Fordhall Organic Farm, with a day full of hands on learning and fun 🌼

The children loved meeting the lambs, piglets and calves, making it a truly special experience for everyone. They also planted their own sweet peas to take home and watch grow, enjoyed an egg hunt around the gardens and even joined in with a very wiggly worm dance, where the worms really did come up to say hello 🐑🐖🐄

The sunshine stayed with us all day, making it even more memorable. A huge thank you to everyone at Fordhall Farm for such a wonderful visit, we had the best time ☀️

It was great to catch up with our Movement Mentors last week, who were full of brilliant ideas for developing fitness across the school 💪

The children have worked together to create a rota where they will lead fun fitness activities at break times, with house points up for grabs for the team that can complete the most repetitions of a chosen exercise in one minute. This week’s challenge is star jumps, and the excitement is already building ⭐

We are so proud to see the children taking leadership, encouraging others and championing healthy, active play.

This week has been full of Easter excitement - the children have loved exploring our focus story Happy Easter from The Crayons as we learned about colours, creativity and celebration. 🎨

They have also enjoyed designing their own Easter eggs using different shapes and bright colours which has been a lovely way to build fine motor skills and imagination.

In phonics we have been singing Round and Round the Garden and focusing on the phoneme d, practising recognising, saying and using it in lots of words.

In maths the children have revisited everything we have learned this term including comparing tall and short and heavy and light through practical, hands on fun. 🐣

🌿 The Great Big School Clean A Team! 🌿

A huge thank you to our brilliant One Voice children and their families who came along to help with our Great Big School Clean. Arthur, Ben B, Noah, Olly, Hattie, Lauren, Evie and Robin really were the A team, tackling a long list of jobs and somehow getting through every single one with enthusiasm and teamwork 😊

We are so grateful to this small but mighty group who gave up their Saturday morning to help others, which is exactly what the Great Big School Clean is all about. Their hard work has made such a difference and the school is now looking superb for the summer.

A special thank you to our staff, Mrs Foxall and Mrs Dakin, and to the long suffering partner of Ms Reynolds for coming along to lend a hand too. It was a lovely morning that showed the power of a committed community.

We hope even more families will join us next time. Our school shines brightest when we all take part!

Our story of the week last week has been Jack and the Beanstalk, and the children have been loving listening to the story and talking about the different characters, especially Jack and the giant.

Together, we explored what might happen next in the story and practised retelling parts of it, building confidence in speaking and listening.

The children then created their own feeling faces using colours from The Colour Monster. They matched colours to emotions, with yellow for happy, red for angry, blue for sad, pink for love, green for calm and black for scared, creating some thoughtful and expressive artwork.

In phonics, we revisited the nursery rhyme Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, focusing on listening carefully and joining in with the words. We also introduced a new sound, the phoneme n, and practised recognising it, saying it clearly and thinking of words that begin with n, such as net, nose and nest.

In maths, the children have been learning about tall and short, comparing objects and talking about their heights. This learning continued through play as they built towers and compared which were taller or shorter.
