Hindu Workshop

EYFS, Year 3 and Year 5 all enjoyed a Hindu Workshop today where they learnt about Hinduism including the story of Rama and Sita, danced with sticks and learnt how to meditate.  The children got dressed for the occasion in traditional Hindu clothes with bangles and bindis.

Netball and Tag Rugby Festival

On Wednesday 14th, Mr Venn, Miss Lewis and Miss Dovey took 35 children to take part in a Tag Rugby and Netball Festival, organised by the year 10 Sports Leaders at Meole Brace Secondary School.

Each team were assigned a year 10 student who ran through games to practise the skills needed, and then finished with a round robin tournament against other primary schools.
The children really enjoyed themselves and represented the school really well.
Well done everyone!

Hindu Workshop for EYFS, Year 3 and Year 5

Instead of going on a trip to a place of worship, we have arranged for EYFS, Year 3 and Year 5 pupils to take part in a Hindu workshop at school on Thursday 3rd November. The one-day workshop will be provided by Hinduism Education Services. During the day, children will take part in various activities to learn more about the Hindu faith, with a focus on Diwali. The sessions will include storytelling, dressing up in traditional Indian costume, and other topics and activities related to Hindu worship, culture, values and lifestyle.

As we have no other way of funding the workshop we would be grateful if parents can contribute £2.50 per child towards the cost of the workshop. Payment is to be made via your child’s ParentPay account prior to the date of the workshop please. Many thanks.

Coleham @ STFC

Mr Venn took two teams of 8 to Shrewsbury Town Football Ground for a Football Tournament against other schools in Shropshire.  They all played amazingly well with both teams coming 2nd in their pool and both were unfortunate with missing out on the play-offs.
We are all very proud of how you played. Well Done!

Year 5 and 6 were treated to an extra PE lesson from Mr Edwards from Belvidere Secondary School.

Drama Club’s Matilda Production

Over the Autumn Term, the Drama Club worked so hard to perfect their acting, singing, dancing and prop making skills, culminating in a performance of ‘Matilda the Musical’ for Years 5 and 6. They performed the house down and received a huge applause for their closing number, Revolting Children. Their characters were so convincing that we feared the school may be overthrown (!) but luckily, the children were happy to accept certificates of achievement instead.
