This is the burning question currently on the minds of all parents!

We are ready for your return on the 8th March!😀

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Shropshire Tutor will be holding a Summer Camp at Castle House School in August. More information and links can be found on their Facebook page facebook.com/ShropshireTuto… Please like and share this post and the Shropshire Tutor Facebook page.

If you’re concerned your child has fallen behind during COVID please do come and talk to us. We’ll work with you and your child to develop an individualised plan to help them catch up and then exceed expectations. It’s an investment in your child’s future. bbc.co.uk/news/education…

This week Y5 have 'travelled' to Africa on our trip around the world. We have been learning about the different climates, landscapes, population, life expectancy, literacy rates and wildlife of different countries. To consolidate our learning, we have played Africa Top Trumps.

All week long in Maths, the Year 6 children have been looking at using and applying their mathematical knowledge to solve problems. Today they explored how they could construct different size boxes from a 20 x 20cm piece of paper. #Year6 #Maths #Academic #Learning #Telfordwrekin

We are experiencing all aspects of Spring in Nursery at the moment. The children have helped to create a garden centre by giving us their ideas and making ‘props’ such as, blossom and flowers, to play with and ‘sell’. #Nursery #Nature #Spring #Garden #Outside #Telfordwrekin

Can you juggle like year 3 can? #Juggle #Juggling #Fun #Friday #Exciting #Sport #PE #Year3 #Castlehouseschool #Telfordandwrekin #Newport #Shropshire

This term, Y5 is learning about The Tudors. We have found out how Henry Tudor defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth to become King Henry VII and by marrying Elizabeth of York he ended the War of the Roses.

Mrs Butler will soon be recruiting Peer Mentors for the Autumn term. Pupils will be invited to apply for this important role, and will be interviewed in September. Following this, there will be a training course delivered by Mrs Butler who is our Designated Safeguarding Lead.

This week with everyone back at Nursery, we have continued our theme of journeys. The children have been using their imagination to go on train journeys, pretend to be planes, helicopters, motor bikes. We flew to “Africa, Dinosaur Land, home and Australia” the children said.

Within Year 6 our Summer term Topic of Harry Potter is getting underway. Within our Art lessons the children have started by designing their own image based upon the wizarding world - they could pick a character, an object or anything related to the novels in any way.

Phonics groups have resumed after Easter with KS1 splitting into 3 groups to learn their sounds, spelling, comprehension and English grammar. Pupils learn to use their letter sounds to help them blend and read, and then to segment words into sounds to help them spell.

This week, Year 3 & 4 have been learning and revising numbers 1-31 in French, alongside the days of the week and the names of each month. They have been learning these topics through fun games and by completing crosswords.

The new decorations in Forest School look all nice and pretty, but we think the real purpose is to distract adults so they do not see the man traps cunningly dug into the ground! Beware! #Forestschool #Forest #Primaryschool #Newport #Telford #Telfordandwrekin #Shropshire
