Calendar

As part of this term’s history curriculum work on The Tudors, we have arranged for Year 4 to visit Shrewsbury Museum on Thursday 16^th May for a Meet the Tudors workshop and a guided walking tour of the town.  We will be setting off from school shortly after morning registration and expect to arrive back at school around 2.30pm.

Your child will need to bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink for this trip. Those pupils entitled to free school meals will be given a packed lunch by school before departure.  Pupils should wear school uniform and bring with them a lightweight coat/sunhat (depending on the weather forecast for that day). As they will be doing a fair amount of walking, they will also need to wear comfortable shoes or trainers. Spending money is not required for this trip.

The cost of the trip is £6.60, which includes the workshop and the tour.  Payment should be made via your child’s Arbor account prior to the date of the trip please. Although costs for trips are voluntary, in reality the school has no other means of funding these trips so we hope that everyone can contribute to the trip in some way.

Please note that this visit is covered by the Annual Consent Form for Trips/visits & Medical Information. Please notify the school immediately if there are any changes to your contact/emergency contact details or medical information.

Year 6 will soon be participating in 4 Purple Leaf sessions over 4 weeks.  The Purple Leaf Programme is an educational resource, run by West Mercia Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Centre (WMRSASC), created to increase young people’s awareness of sexual abuse, to equip them with the skills, knowledge and tools to be able to identify uncomfortable feelings, and to know where to go for help and support.

The Purple Leaf Programme covers the following outcomes in an age appropriate way:

• Young people will have an increased understanding of consent, both in the context of seeking consent and giving consent
• Young people will be able to identify factors that might make a relationship healthy or unhealthy
• Young people will be able to identify uncomfortable feelings
• Young people will have a better understanding of how to access support and information

The Purple Leaf Programme is delivered by experienced specialists, who understand the complexities surrounding sexual violence and child sexual exploitation.

The trainers will be available to parents in school should parents wish to find out more and ask questions.
