SUMMER #9 LOOK AHEAD & WEEKLY ROUND UP

Headteacher Message

Dear Parents & Carers,

I hope you have all had a wonderful week.  The Headteacher swap earlier this week was a great success – I very much enjoyed meeting the families, children and staff at Much Wenlock, and Ms Lovecy, the Headteacher of St Martin’s had a useful time here.  She delivered the week’s assembly, taught some lessons and spent a lot of time in and out of all the classes getting to know everyone.  She was full of praise about our wonderful school and commented on friendly everyone has been – thank you to everyone who made her feel welcome!

The end of term is fast approaching, but there is so much more to fit in!  All sports days are next week (please see above for more details) and we have lots of transition events to look forward to.

Have a lovely weekend!

Arbor Information

Thank you to parents for registering with the Arbor App.

From September we will be using Arbor for all payments and so you will pay for clubs, trips, wraparound care and meals using this app.

Our ParentPay account will be closed down.  We will be transferring all balances (debits/credits) from Parentpay on the last day of term and transferring these across to Arbor.

We use Arbor as our pupil data system in school and so you can also view your child’s attendance and change your contact details directly via the app.

Headteacher Swap

This week Headteacher Ms Lovecy joined us for 3 days in a Headteacher Swap across the 3-18 Education Trust. Ms Lovecy is Head at St Martins School in Oswestry which is an all through school with pupils from age 3- 16. Ms Lovecy started the week off with an assembly on Aspiration and told us about her pathway to being a Headteacher and St Martins students who have gone onto fantastic jobs in really interesting sectors.

A huge thank you to all the staff and children at Coleham school, I have had a great time.  I’ve loved seeing the reception children travel to Barmouth in their bus that they created all the way up to teaching Leopards class who were so friendly and hard working. What a fabulous school! I’ve taken away lots of your good ideas and I’ll be back for more! Have a wonderful end to the summer.

Multi-skills festival

All children in Owls class took part in a multi-skills festival at Prestfelde. They did a carousal of events, such as, long jump, tennis, cricket and javelin. They had a great day altogether and all showed brilliant teamwork and perseverance.

Dance Festival

Some Year 5 pupils spent the day at Shrewsbury High School for a festival of Dance.  The festival was led by Michelle Reece, Shrewsbury High School’s Dance Specialist teacher and included pupils from Much Wenlock, Shrewsbury High School and St. Winifred’s.  Thank you Shrewsbury High School for a fantastic day!

Esmai Poetry Reading

Congratulations to Esmai in Year 3 who came first in the ‘Write a letter to your Hero’ exhibit at our Plant & Craft Fair. Belle Vue Arts Festival judges were so impressed that Esmai was invited to read it aloud at The Spoken Word Poetry evening at The Hive Arts Centre.  Esmai had a wonderful evening meeting lots of local writers and poets. Well done Esmai!
