It is wonderful when our Key Stage 2 pupils want to share activities that they enjoy with younger years.
Some of the year 1 children have been enjoying a break-time dance club, set up and run by 2 of the girls from year 6. The girls have given up their time to plan a routine along with music. Year 1 are really having fun and leave the hall with big smiles. We can't wait to see the finished dance.
Today, we have welcomed coaches from Broseley Youth Sports to work with girls throughout the school. The aim of #Let Girls Play is to inspire and give women and girls equal opportunities to football in schools and clubs. A huge thank you to the coaches for volunteering their time.

We welcomed mountain bike trial champion, Danny Butler to school this week as part of our Great Athletes event. Each class took part in exercise circuits, which were followed by an assembly where Danny showed us some of the skills he has, and talked us through how he became British and European mountain bike trials champion.
Well done to the girls who represented the school this week. Having qualified earlier in the year, 9 girls from Year 3 and 4 played a total of three seven-a-side matches in Church Stretton. They finished third in the pool, so closely missed out on the play-offs. All of the girls played really well and showed great team work. We look forward to seeing them continue their footballing journey.
Our fabulous club performed their Disney mash-up dance at William Brookes School on two evenings this week. They have worked so hard in the lead up, learning and practising their routines in after school club. It really shone through in their polished routine. It was lovely to see you all shine on stage!
We especially enjoyed being inspired by all the other dancers as we could watch the other performances through the live stream. We even watched ourselves back!
A huge well done to everyone!
Last week, we hosted a friendly football event with Broseley C of E School and Much Wenlock Primary School visiting us.
We had a girls and a boys team taking part, representing our school. Both teams did us proud, showing great team spirit and respect.
The girls had an opportunity to put their skills to the test; they have been practising in their lunchtime club, which is run by two of our bronze ambassadors, who have really made an effort to get the team ready to play. The boys put in a fantastic effort and showed some brilliant teamwork and skills, scoring lots of goals between them. We saw an amazing goal from one of our players, scoring with one kick from our goal area straight into the opposition's goal.
It was a really lovely event to be part of. Thank you to all of the visiting staff and children for coming to join us. And to Mr Bourton and Mr Bennett for setting the event up.
Thank you to everyone who has helped their children to make the range of fantastic hobby horses that were on parade on Friday. It was lovely to see how proud the children were, what a fun time they had, and how proud they were of each other. We have some amazing pictures and I think the smiles say it all.
Last week our athletics team attended the Primary Sports Day at William Brookes School! 
We were so proud of how well everyone performed at the competition, their behaviour was impeccable and they gave 100% effort in every event. Well done to the whole team who placed second overall. 
The girls gave their absolute best in their track and field events. Giving 100% and supporting each other. It was an amazing atmosphere and a tough competition. We proudly placed 3rd in the 4 x 1 lap relay.
The afternoon of 'try it out' gave them the opportunity to have a go at boxing, cricket, tennis, squash and orienteering with the support of great coaches. A brilliant day 
Year 2 visited Barrow School for a Cross Country event. They showed determination and resilience to keep going and supported each other in their races. We are so proud of them. We even came back with a couple of certificates for placing 2nd and 3rd in our races. Well done 
Children in Key Stage 1 have had an archery lesson from a pupil's Mum. Mel is a Paralympian archer who kindly gave up some of her time to show us how to do it. The children loved it and were very good at it too! Children in Key Stage 2 will be having a lesson too. We are hoping that our new archery set will prove very popular with the children. Huge thanks to Mel for taking the time to help us get started.
Every Tuesday breaktime children have been enjoying Curling Club. We have become experts and now love having friendly competitions every week. It's great fun! The children can now set the game up and even record the scores
