Hello Yellow- Friday 9th October

 Hello Yellow – Friday 9th October

Wear yellow and help us show our support for young people’s mental health.

On Friday 9th October, we’re inviting our whole school community to wear yellow as we take part in Hello Yellow – a day dedicated to raising awareness, starting conversations and supporting young people’s mental health.

Mental health is something that can affect all of us. There are times when life can feel difficult, overwhelming or challenging and it isn’t always easy to know how to cope or who to talk to. For some young people, getting the right support at the right time can feel especially difficult.

Together, we can help change this.

By wearing yellow, you can help start conversations about mental health and remind young people that they are not alone, that it’s okay to talk and that support is available.

 Stand out. Start a conversation. Show your support.

Join us on Friday 9th October, wear something yellow!

Together, we can help create a school community where every young person feels heard, supported and valued.

Harvest Time

Just a reminder that we are now accepting donations, in celebration of Harvest Time, for Barnabas Food Bank. This is a food bank which serves our local community, here in Shrewsbury. Donations can be brought into school and given to the class teachers, or taken directly to the office. Many thanks for your ongoing support and generosity.

Congratulations!

.          Meet our Squirrels class reps for 2026!

A huge congratulations to Poppy and Sophia on being elected to represent Squirrels class this year. Poppy will be our Worship Leader, and Sophia will be our school council representative. We are very proud to have them represent our class and know they will be amazing in their roles.

 

Our first week in Year 1.

Children have made an amazing start to year 1 this week – they have been practising how to write their numbers and counting in rote. They also had lots of fun taking part in some drama based on our English text, ‘Lost and Found’. It’s been a busy week but all of the children have settled really well. Well done everyone!

Friday 10th October 2025

Reminder that today is World Mental Health Day, children are encouraged to wear something yellow in support of mental health in young minds. Also, after school today (3:15pm) there will be a bake sale held by school council located at the front of the school by the oak tree.

Thank you for your support,

Miss Gee

Castles Homework Project

Good morning Year 1!

For the next 4 weeks instead of weekly homework we would like year 1s to complete a homework project. This half term in History we are learning about castles. We would like you to complete a model, poster or anything you feel inspired to produce to show us your learning and research about castles.

We are learning that the Normans were the first people to build castles in the UK and they constructed stone keep castles and motte and bailey castles. We are investigating the features of castles and people who lived there and their roles within the hierarchy of the castle.

On 9th April we will be visiting Whittington Castle on a school trip. More information will be sent out about this next week.

Please take your time deciding, completing and researching this project as we want the children to thoroughly enjoy and be immersed in the process and we want you to as well! They should have more and more facts to contribute as we continue our learning this half term.

We would like this project to be submitted week beginning 7th April.

We are very excited to see what you come up with!
Have a lovely weekend.

Thank you for your support with this project.

Miss Cummings and Miss Cluderay
