Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!

Our children visited Crowmoor Primary to compete in a Dodgeball competition.

We love representing our school and playing as a team and also winning!

The Imagination Playground 💭

We are so lucky to have our very own Imagination Playground.

Our Kingfishers are retelling the story of the Three Little Pigs and are linking it to their Design and Technology theme of Structures.

Great collaboration, creativity and communication!

 

Mrs Porrett is back! 🎵

We are delighted to have Mrs Porrett back as our Music Lead. She inspires and brings out the best in our young musicians. Today, we explored a range of instruments and matched the sounds to the instruments.

Year 2 Musicians 🎵

We have some wonderful musicians in Year 2!

The Great Outdoors 🍂

We are passionate about getting our children outside to build confidence, promote creativity and improve their physical and social skills. We are lucky to have the wonderful Mrs Engler to lead our Forest School sessions with Year 1 and 2 every week!

Snow is falling!

Learning and laughter in the snow at school this week.

We wrapped up and made sure that we made the most out of the weather.

Future Doctors and Nurses

We have some future doctors and nurses in our school.

Today, we looked at how to keep our hearts and bodies healthy before exploring some lamb’s hearts and learning how they pump blood around our body.

A fascinating Science workshop that the children loved!

Where words fail, music speaks

Music is wonderful for self expression, self esteem and resilience.
This morning we have had our whole class Music lessons with our Music teacher, Mrs Porrett. Children have also been taking part in keyboard and drumming lessons. 🎶

Remembrance at Oxon Church

Our little ones visited Oxon Parish Church, Shrewsbury for the first time today.
Reverend Charlotte showed Dragonflies and Kingfishers around the church and taught the children all about Remembrance Day.
It was a lovely experience for us!

“Who will help make some bread?”

We were interested in yeast being an activator to male the dough rise. There were gasps of delight when it rose! We discussed how the dough was sticky, stretchy, soft, warm and bouncy.

All about Scarecrows 🚜

We have been learning about Scarecrows keeping the birds off the seeds. We read a story about scarecrows and then made some of our own!

Run, run, run!

Alongside diet, water and sleep, we believe exercise and fresh air are key ingredients to being healthy.

Today we finished the week with a cross country run around our field. Some raced, some walked, some needed assistance but everyone did their best.

 

Physically and mentally healthy!

Keeping our bodies and minds healthy and happy with some mindfulness yoga with RELAX KIDS this afternoon.

NATURE CLUB

Leaf printing in lots of different ways using the beautiful autumnal colours.

We are so lucky to have Mrs Proctor help us to learn all about the great outdoors.

Chess club!

We have introduced Chess club for our Kingfishers this year.

Our children are learning the basics and we have high hopes for them in the future.

Superstars!

Our aim is to provide opportunities for children with the hope that they continue to perform outside of school. We are always delighted when our children show determination, dedication and resilience outside of school.

Here we see Georgia showing off her Gymnastics medal. Go Georgia!

Robotics and Coding with Amazing ICT

We are preparing our children for the digital world.

We want our little ones to be critical thinkers and be able to use, express themselves and develop their ideas through technology.

Thankyou to Amazing ICT for working with our children before running a professional development session for our staff.

Headteacher’s update

What another fantastic week at Bowbrook.

Last Saturday we had our first birthday. I can hardly believe how fast the first year has gone. It has been a whirlwind. I am so proud of the community that we have created and the relationships we have with our families. We have more than tripled in size in that year and the challenge for us is to maintain the relationships and continue to provide a wealth of opportunities for our children.

Our community supported us again at our MacMillan coffee afternoon. We raised £500 which is a great effort and we thank everyone for their generosity. It also provided a great opportunity for the children to take their families around school and show off some of the wonderful areas that we have.

We also have a great deal happening with our curriculum and as well as the Spanish, swimming, PE, Cookery and everything else we do, we have been developing our Computing curriculum. We had a visit from Amazing ICT who showed us some robotics and coding which the children loved. He also provided some professional development for the staff.

We have some other visits and visitors planned over the next couple of weeks and we will share our experience with these.

Thank you very much for your support, we appreciate it very much.
