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.
We would like to thank our wonderful volunteers for helping to bring our ‘Highway Rat’ scarecrow to life, leading to Third Place in the 2025 Scarecrow Festival Youth category!
A huge thank you, also, to Claire and Richard at Valley View Equestrian Centre for donating a bale of straw again this year.
Peridot Class had a fabulous afternoon down in Forest School! We have been learning about animal diets in science and investigating whether all animals like to eat the same thing. We made bird feeders using multigrain hoops and string to hang on the branches. We can't wait to see them all eaten up and enjoyed!
Our Year 6 pupils have had a wonderful and busy week at Arthog Outdoor Education and Activity Centre. Lots of wet activities have been enjoyed,which have resulted in a very full drying room, and tired legs from long walks with stunning scenery. A huge thank you to our staff who have accompanied these pupils and created long-lasting memories.
The Year 6 pupils hosted their MacMillan coffee morning, and did a wonderful job of serving their guests. Thank you to all of our families who have donated cakes, and attended to make this important event such a success for our Year 6 pupils.
