Smoothie Bike visit

For our Tour de Coleham Cycling week the smoothie bike came to school today courtesy of Academy Catering. The children had great fun powering the pedals to blend all the fresh fruit to make a healthy drink. The perfect refreshment after all that exercise!

Coleham’s Got Talent

Coleham’s Got Talent is back! Each week of summer term, we’ll be showcasing the performance talents of our children every Friday on the field at lunchtime.

Our first acts wowed us with very spirited performances last Friday and if previous years are anything to go by, we’ll be seeing even more talent as the weeks go by.

Also, a big well done to our compères who keep the show flowing!

Yr 1 Historic Trip

This weeks trip to the Black Country museum was amazing and the children really enjoyed it. They were so well behaved and represented Coleham superbly. They looked around the old village and went inside the old school. Here we were treated to a lesson and had to learn the alphabet backwards! It was hard! The children had a play with the toys and understood the differences between old and new toys. We were also told about what is was like to live back in the older days.

French Trip for staff

20 members of staff are off to a language school in Rouen,

France this Easter and May to help boost their grasp of the French language after we submitted a successful bid for European funding to enable a series of trips to take place.

Ms Jones said: “I am beyond excited, this is a fantastic continuing professional development opportunity for staff. We want to raise the profile of French throughout the entire school and the best way of doing this is by the whole staff team getting involved to make it happen.”

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!
