Our Science week in the news!

…The students at Coleham Primary School in Shrewsbury nurtured caterpillars, looked after tadpoles, observed chicks and bottle-fed lambs in their science lessons this week.

It comes just after National Science Week – a 10-day national celebration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects.

As part of the curriculum at Coleham Primary, pupils are embracing science through the theme of ‘Growth’ – a topic that coincides with the season of spring and new life.

Miss Harris, science leader, said: “Bringing the curriculum to life through meaningful experiences has been really empowering for the children…’

Science week-Hatching Chicks

The children are having incredible experiences during our science week. One of the most egg-citing things (sorry!) has been hatching chicks in our classrooms.

We now have ten chicks that have hatched from the eggs and the children are really enjoying watching them and  looking after them.

Winning Eco Mural Gets Painted

Our Eco Council competition to design a mural to be painted on a plain outside wall has been won by Sol and painted by Amy Smith this week.

The Shropshire Star came and wrote an article about the artwork.

‘Sol’s design, which included the eco message ‘Plant Trees’, won the competition and the mural is situated by a rare Cappadocicum Maple Tree– one of the largest in Shropshire.

The eight-year-old said: “I couldn’t believe it when my drawing won the competition. It was inspired by my Grandad who loves nature and trees.’

Free footwear in our Drop & Swop

Our Eco Council have launched their new ‘Drop and Swap’ scheme with the current focus on footwear.

We’ve had a terrific response with lots of good reusable footwear being dropped into school.

Remember that every re-used pair will save a pair from being manufactured, so please come and have a rummage and take a pair whilst the children’s feet are growing so quickly and help do your bit for the environment!

Thank you to our neighbours

We are so proud of these pupils who went to personally thank each of the shops on Wyle Cop for donating to our Grand Hamper Raffle.  Public speaking is a great skill to learn!  Lucas sketched the shop fronts for a beautiful Christmas Card.  Thank you to the traders for their kindness and for helping us raise £1,500 for school.

2021 Staff Christmas Video

Staff had a great time making this fun video for the children, even when OFSTED visited in the middle of us making it!  It was touch and go whether we could finish it off but in true Coleham style we rallied round and pulled it out of the bag!  Until next year…
