Entertaining the community

Our final visit of the academic year to Bowbrook House. We treated the residents to some of our singing before helping them feed the ducks.

It is always a pleasure when the residents tell you they are so impressed with how well behaved the children are and how refreshing it is to see and hear such beautiful manners.

Winding down from Witness the Fitness week

A great way to end Witness the Fitness week. After such a busy few days of high intensity exercise it was good to relax, meditate and just take a breath. Thank you to our yoga instructor, Jess, for providing a lovely experience for our children.

Thank you very much to ex-Wales, Wolves and Shrewsbury footballer, Dave Edwards, for coming into Dragonflies class and sharing his experiences of playing in the European Championships and the Premier League.

Back in the Imagination Playground

Recently we have not been using the Imagination playground much so we thought what better time to get it back out then during Witness the Fitness week.

Team building, problem solving as well as balance and co-ordination. We are lucky to have such fabulous equipment.

Circuit training with Miguel

Thanks to Miguel Ulloa who came in to do some circuit training with the children. The children got to compete in their teams and show togetherness, resilience and effort to be successful.

We also got to speak about being a personal trainer and some of the attributes needed for that job.

Our first Sports Day!

We are so proud of all our

We are so unbelievably proud of the courage and determination our little ones showed today.

It’s easy to forget that our children are only between 3 and 5 years old and we have incredibly high expectations of them, but they absolutely delivered this morning.

A day to be proud of – a school to be proud of. ⭐️

Getting fit at the school of opportunity

We are passionate about health and fitness at Bowbrook.

We regularly cook healthy snacks and today we had the opportunity to exercise whilst making a healthy smoothie thanks to The Smoothie Bike.

It was hard work and very very messy but as always we got stuck in and produced some tasty drinks!

This afternoon, we opened our Mini-beast Art Exhibition to our families.

We’ve been inspired by artists, storybooks and real-life minibeasts! 🐞

We’ve explored different types of media and different techniques and we collated all of our ideas to create a beautiful display for our families. 🧡

Visiting Keystone

Our inquisitive little ones are always asking to visit ‘the school over there’. Today we took Dragonflies over to Keystone Academy and spent some time with the children and staff there.

The children loved making new friends, mixing with older children and exploring another brand new school.

Forest School visit

Today Caterpillars ventured to Inside Out forest school. For some of the children it was there first visit. They really showed how skilled and adventurous they are becoming. They really do have a passion for outdoor learning.

In the moment

We seek to follow the children’s interests at Bowbrook.  We were so excited to watch the tractors spreading the sand & preparing the field ready for sports day today!
Our children had so many questions about how they transported the sand, why they were spreading it & what would happen next.
We couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to transfer this learning back into the classroom and explore it for ourselves! 🚜

Singing assembly

Monday is our day for singing assembly! ✨
Last half term we learnt lots of nursery rhymes and the Makaton signs that accompany them.
Today we started to learn Robbie Williams’ song ‘I love my life’. We listened to the lyrics and discussed why we love our lives before learning signs for the adjectives in the song.
‘I am powerful, I am beautiful, I am free.
I am wonderful, I am magical, I am me.’
Ask your child to look at the picture to remind themselves of the actions and see if they can sing the chorus to you!

Easter Activities

What an EGGcellent last day of term!
We started our day reading the story Egg Drop about an egg that wants to fly. Questions sparked of how we could make an egg fly and drawing on prior learning from science week about gravity, the children decided they were going to design, create & test their own egg flying contraptions! Parachutes, balloons and paper aeroplanes were constructed but unfortunately – we didn’t manage to make the egg fly but we did have great fun & showed super teamwork throughout the process.
Fast forward to this afternoon and we explored all things chocolate! Mrs Woosnam showed us how to make our own painted chocolates and Miss Nealon led some chocolate mindfulness tasting with us. How lucky are we to have such amazing adults in our school?  A super day to end a super term.
Happy Easter everyone! 🐰🐥

Science week

The children have loved predicting, investigating and experimenting this week. There has been lots of new scientific vocabulary being shared and some brilliant questions from our curious little thinkers!  We had Supersonic Sue come and visit us and went to Priory Secondary school to take a look at their laboratories and carry out various experiments.

Here’s a look at what we got up to…
Have a great weekend! 🧪

Museum Workshop

An immersive morning for our Dragonflies and Caterpillars as we dived inside the story of Peepo and explored the past with Gladys.  We learnt about the different chores she had to do and decided our lives were much easier now!  By the end of Reception year, we want our children to be confident in discussing similarities and differences between their own lives and things of the past.  Thank you to Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery for this workshop.
