When children are healthy, happy and safe, curiosity is ignited and learning is optimised. In this section, you will find out what children in school and nursery have been learning this week.
Children in Amethysts and Sapphires investigated Owl Pellets as part of their science work on digestive systems and animal bones.
We found some amazing things and were able to classify the bones and identify what the different owls had been eating. Pretty amazing stuff!
A huge thank you to our wonderful community, stall holders, Father Christmas and his naughty elf Illuminate FX, Frankly Farm Tours, and our fabulous staff for supporting our Victorian Christmas Market this evening. It was a resounding success. Santa’s grotto photos will be posted over the weekend.
What an amazing start to the Festive Season 
Our Parent, Baby and Toddler Group have had an exciting few weeks since we returned from Half Term. We are really looking forward to our Christmas Sessions over the coming weeks!
In Science, Emerald Class explored how different animals hibernate and migrate during the cold winter months.
To bring their learning to life, we headed to the forest to build our very own hedgehog houses. They showed wonderful creativity and teamwork, designing cosy, inviting spaces perfect for a hibernating hedgehog.
Children throughout Nursery and School enjoyed a fantastic skipping workshop on Friday. The sessions were a huge success with everyone really enjoying themselves.
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our families who joined and supported us or their clubs at today’s Remembrance Day service. Your presence and encouragement mean so much as we come together to honour and remember those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.
Nursery children have had a very busy week. They have been learning about traditional tales and retelling stories and at Forest School they built a fabulous den! They have been thinking about Children in Need, making some lovely masks, as well as taking part in skipping workshops, which they were brilliant at - well done everyone!
Children in nursery had a lovely time learning about Halloween. They enjoyed making masks to turn themselves into pumpkins!
At John Wilkinson Primary School and Nursery, blue was the colour of the day today, in aid of Shropshire's Youth Awareness Day on Thursday 16th October.
We've loved being part of this and will share our fundraising total as soon as possible.
Our students and staff went all out, wearing every shade of blue while raising funds for brilliant local projects supporting young people.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make it a fun and positive day!
Pupils took part in drama to help them with the descriptive writing about a famous pilot stunt.
We have just started a mould experiment in Science to investigate what conditions cause microrganisms to grow and why. We are hoping to see lots of mould after half term!
We also explored minibeasts in forest school for our Science unit and how to classify them accurately based on their features.
In R.E, we created stain glass windows to show the Genesis story and also link with our landscape Art unit.
Once again, in Science we explored leaves to classify different types of trees around school. There we LOTS! This also linked to our Geography unit 'our changing world'.
Our fabulous Parent, Baby and Toddler Group had a wonderful time at their Halloween Party this week. It was lovely to see so many faces. We look forward to seeing everyone when we return from our Half Term Break. Our first session back will be Wednesday 5th November.
Emerald class went to forest school and created some Art using Autumn objects. They designed some brilliant art.
