Wave Rave 🌊

🌞🔥 What a day at Bowbrook!

Despite the heatwave, our amazing children showed incredible determination, working so hard and giving their best all day long 👏💪

To celebrate their effort and resilience, we turned up the fun with a well-earned Wave Rave! 🌊🎶💃 The perfect way to cool off, let loose, and make some fantastic memories together!
So proud of their positivity, teamwork, and energy… even in the heat! 💛🙌

International Day 🇪🇸

Feeling hot, hot, hot for our International Day! ☀️ 🇪🇸

Our children performed amazingly in our Spanish assembly, showcasing their work from across the year.

We tried some Spanish food, made ‘sangria’ & even took part in a special dance workshop. 💃

Although it is not a necessity, we are proud to offer foreign languages to our little ones. ✨

Gardening Club 🍃

Our little green fingered gardeners got to work on tidying up our entrance area this morning. 🍃

Thank you to Jodie and Mrs Jones for leading the way! ⭐️

Extra-curricular clubs are back 💪🏻

Extra curricular activities are one of the most beneficial ways of identifying our children’s super strengths.

We are lucky to have such dedicated teaching assistants who offer to run clubs too and this week we have started Bikeability and Mini Makaton. 🚲 ✋🏻

Building progress 👷

Our Swans visited the construction site for the new classrooms this afternoon.
The children met with the George, the site Foreman and asked questions about how the building was developing.
George spoke to them about the importance of teamwork, organisation and being safe. It’s going to look great!

Kingfishers visit British Ironworks ⭐️

Kingfishers visit the British Ironworks!

Kingfishers had an unforgettable visit to the British Ironworks, where they explored incredible sculptures, learned about craftsmanship, and discovered how creativity and recycling come together in amazing ways. 🎨🔧

From giant metal animals to inspiring artworks, there was so much to see and spark imagination!

 

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside… 🌊

Day Trip to Llandudno 🌊
Our Swans and Caterpillars had the best day ever in Llandudno! From paddling in the sea to building pebble towers and breathing in the fresh sea air, it was a day full of smiles and special moments.
Our Swans were wonderful role models for our littlest learners, making us all incredibly proud.
What a fantastic day! ☀️

Storytelling workshop 📕

Today Bowbrook hall was filled imagination, colour and creativity!

We were joined by the incredible storyteller Jake Evans and his mum, the talented artist, Sarah Evans. Together they launched our whole school art project.

The children were captivated by Jake’s stories and Sarah’s art work. As a result, they have been buzzing with ideas as we begin to work together on some collaborative artwork that represents our wonderful school.

We can’t wait to reveal the finished piece in a few weeks.

Arts Week 🎨

Arts Week 2026 – completed it ✅

Swans enjoyed a trip to the Quarry to combine Art & History and created some beautiful sketches.

After our crayons brightened up our school with their performance, each classroom was delivered a colour by the colour catcher! We decided our world is much more interesting with lots of colours in it & explored adding our colour to our classrooms. 🎨

The Day the Crayons Quit 🖍️

They’ve done it again! Our incredible team of Teaching Assistants have brought Arts Week alive by performing ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ for the whole school. Squeals of laughter from our children, joy filled faces from everyone & some of the best accents we’ve heard from our actors!

Bringing stories to life to enrich our children’s imaginations and inspire their future writing.✨

THIS is what makes Bowbrook special. 🧡

Arts Week 2026 ✨

Arts Week 2026 ✨

We’re 3 days into our Arts Week & the creativity is flowing across the school.
We started our week with Monochrome Monday – imagining the world without any colour. ⚪️⚫️

Since then, we’ve explored a range of different artists in our House Groups, visited Attingham Park to explore art in nature, had a tile painting workshop & even explored art at Forest School.

Cross Country 🏃‍♂️

A huge well done to our Bowbrook cross‑country team. 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️

They stepped up, ‘felt the fear and did it anyway.’
Their determination, teamwork and bursts of brilliant speed led to some fantastic results.

What a shining example of Bowbrook resilience.

Pierre Mondrian 🎨

A focus on cubism this week for our artists. We compared the two artists we have explored over the last fortnight and discussed what made Mondrian’s work so unique- primary colours with geometric shapes.

Shropshire Half Marathon 🏃‍♂️

Sure, the London Marathon is a long distance with an incredible atmosphere but it’s nothing compared to the Schools Half Marathon that 39 of our little champions completed on Saturday morning. 💪🏻

 

Football ⚽️

Our mighty football team took on local rivals Meole Brace today in an incredibly close match resulting in a 9-8 win to Bowbrook!

Our children showed determination, resilience and focus, all whilst having lots of fun in the sunshine with their friends. ⚽️

Team Manager; A. Stone & Head Coach; L. Irvine said they were incredibly impressed with the boys who wore the kit with pride. 💪🏻

Well-being walk & talk ☕️

Grab a coffee, have a leisurely walk & a chat whilst enjoying the fresh air and spring sunshine – what better way to start your Wednesday!

Thank you to Mrs Woosnam for leading our half termly well-being walk and talk – it’s always so well attended and a great chance for families to get together. ☕️ ☀️

Art Club 🎨

‘Every child is an artist’

Our very first art club was a huge success! We explored the art of Anna Bruder who created a ‘line art florist’. We made our own bouquets of line art flowers, carefully selecting colours that made us feel bright and happy. 🎨

Park Run Takeover 🏃‍♂️

🏃‍♂️ PARK RUN – BOWBROOK TAKEOVER 🏃‍♂️

Fresh air, sunshine, exercise & so much fun with our friends. ☀️

What a brilliant start to a Sunday!

Thank you so much to everyone who came down to run with us this morning – we really do have the best community. 🧡

Kingfishers explore Shrewsbury 🌍

What a wonderful day Kingfishers had exploring our beautiful town.

Our morning consisted of an art workshop, sketching from real life and then creating our own self portrait.
We then carried out some Geography fieldwork through town following a map and finding human features.
We ended the day with a tour of the library and a shared story.

Revolting Children 🎶

They’ve done it again 🔥
Our ‘revolting’ little dance troupe brought incredible energy to Theatre Severn tonight.
Mrs Madden is SO proud of you all. 💪🏻

Little Rascals Volunteering 🧡

Today, our staff gave back to our wonderful community by volunteering at the Little Stars warehouse.

Little Stars have helped us throughout the year by donating equipment & resources enabling us to support our families. It only felt right that we gave back by offering them help in their warehouse today.

We will talk to the children about this on Monday as we demonstrate to them that giving is as important as receiving! 💪🏻

Thank you 🙏

A huge thank you to Nock Deighton, Shrewsbury and Stephen Brown (who set up the Computers for Schools Scheme) for our brand new tablets!

We are very excited to get them set up and start using them for photographs, research & educational apps. 🖥️

Science Week begins… 🧬

🧬 SCIENCE WEEK 🧬
Mr Aiston kicked off science week with an assembly exploring ‘why’ questions.
Why do some things float and some things sink?
Why does the ball bounce?

He then showed us some exciting ways to experiment and gave us some ideas to explore throughout the week. 💭
