Our Nursery children had a wonderful experience with the exciting activities they took part in last week as part of National Storytelling week!

Alison from the Dogs Trust visited year 3 and 4 to talk about caring for dogs and how to keep ourselves and our pets safe! It was really interesting, and we all learnt new skills and ways to look after dogs, as well as lots of 'do's and dont's'.

We learnt about how to approach dogs we may see in public and what to do if an unfamiliar dog was to come up to us.

Sadly, we see all too often the effects of dog attacks and they were often started innocently...we are pleased that our children now have some skills to try and stop this from happening to them!

The children in Year 1 have been learning about instruction writing and have taken the role of a penguin keeper at the sea-life centre! The children made their own pet penguin and acted out how to look after a penguin, including feeding the penguin and cleaning out its messy pen!

The Reception class have been busy making bird feeders this week. We looked at lots of different designs and decided to make some with yogurt pots and toilet roll middles. We hung them out in forest school and we shall revisit to have a look at them to see how much has been eaten!

The Reception class enjoyed a visit from a curator from Ludlow museum. She brought a range of toys from the past for us to look at and play with. The children looked for clues that told us the toys were old. We also put toys in chronological order on

Today, year 4 had a visit from Chris at Severn Trent water to talk about how our sewer systems work and how we can better protect ourselves, water systems and the environment.

We worked in teams to create a sewer soup and then work hard to clean it using a variety of different filters. We were very successful in making some very clean effluent! I think some of our children like the idea of working for Severn Trent when they are older!
