We have two upcoming events that we are planning on celebrating in school.

World Book Day (Thursday 5th March)

For World Book Day, children are encouraged to come to school dress as character from their favourite (or any) book/story – and also bring along the book (if the have it); however, we appreciate that not all children will enjoy “dressing up”. If so, they can come in their own clothes. As this is not a charitable fundraising event, no donation are being requested.

On the day, the children’s classes will be mixed to form 5 new classes (with children from reception to Y6 in each class). The classes will then rotate around a variety of different book-themed activities throughout the day.

In the afternoon, we’d like to invite any parents and carers (and others) to come into school – in a similar way as previous years – to share some reading books or stories with your child or any others. This will be from 2:30pm until the end of the school day.

Comic Relief – “Red Nose Day” (Friday 20th March)

We are also having a fundraising day for Comic Relief. Children can come into school in their own clothes (with something red). We are requesting donations for this event as it will be raising money for Comic Relief; however, the amount is entirely up to you.

As part of the day, children can also bring in their own joke – written on piece of paper with their name on. The joke doesn’t have to be an original one. Teachers will be picking their top 20 jokes – which will be shared in assembly and the top joke (by volume of laughter it generates) winning a prize! For this day, we will be holding our assembly at 14:15 – which parents/carers (and others) are invited to join.

This week, we will be holding a Scholastic book fair – beginning tomorrow (Tuesday).

Children can purchase books in school at break. Parents/children will also be able to look through the books and make purchases at the end of the day (in the practical area) from Tuesday.

All classes will have been round to see the books/stationary available today – and may have returned with a wish list.

Books can be purchased with cash on the day or via ordering online, using the QR code below (also found on the bottom of the wish list) or by visiting bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/pay.

All books sold will also raise money towards purchasing books for the school.

Spring Term 2 – 2026 After School Activity Clubs

Week Commencing Monday 23^rd February 2026

Please use ParentPay to pay and choose clubs. If you pay via Tax Free Childcare please let Mrs Godfrey know.

Please note in addition to after school clubs, we also offer Care Club from 7.30 until start of school day and from 3.15 Until 6.00 Monday to Friday (booking required)

Please see below the Film Night being held at school next Friday (13th February). Tickets available from the school office.

As shared previously, a decision on whether we will be open tomorrow will be made early tomorrow (or tonight if already significantly severe).

Considering the uncertainty, Celebration Assembly will definitely be cancelled.

With ongoing potential amber weather warnings (for snow) for Thursday evening (8pm) until Friday morning (9am), we will be reviewing the forecast over the day and into the evening tomorrow (Thursday).

The school has no plans for closure tomorrow – unless there is a significant change between now and tomorrow morning. A decision on whether we can be open on Friday will be made on Friday morning (or Thursday evening – should conditions be particularly bad already at that point).

If we are forced to close, then this will be shared via the school website, school Facebook page and via Shropshire Council closure page.
