Tom Holt is the winemaker and owner of Paso-Primero. After working at Tanners Wines, Tom travelled the world with the dream of one day making his own wine, in his own style. After five vintages in New Zealand and Canada, he ended up in the Spanish Pyrenees where he has created an incredible portfolio of award winning wines. On the 26th of April he will take us through that portfolio and share his journey from Shrewsbury to Somontano, and back again.
Year 5 Eco Fashion Show Year 5 have been learning about ‘fast fashion’ and its global impact on the environment and this week put on a FANTASTIC Eco Fashion Show! Year 5 you should be so proud, you pushed yourselves outside of your comfort zone and displayed great teamwork. The children have sewn clothes, customised clothes, made clothes from rubbish, rehearsed lines, set up staging, sold clothes afterwards and had fun modelling! #confidence #publicspeaking #careerchoices

We made the news! Check out the Shropshire Star News Article
Our Eco Fashion Show was very timely as just a few days later France have voted to back measures to make fast fashion less attractive. Read the Guardian Article.
Netball School Games Well done to our Netball Team for winning the Shrewsbury School Games! They will now go on to represent Shrewsbury for the county School Games.
Yr 1 @ Blists Hill Year 1 have been learning about life in the Victorian times and comparing it to how we live today. They had a brilliant day out at Blists Hill Victorian village, they washed clothes in the laundry, saw the candle dipping, visited all of the shops and school and learnt about printmaking.
Yr 4 Art Afternoon – Kusama-inspired Instillations Year 4 have been studying the Japanese contemporary artist, Yayoi Kusama, who is famous for her mirrored ‘infinity rooms’ and dotty instillations. We were lucky enough to have two parent volunteers helping us to create our own mini-instillations inspired by the avant-garde artist!
