Grange Park Primary School

⭐️ Proud to Shine ⭐️

Last week, to mark the start of Anti-Bullying Week 2021, we took part in Odd Socks Day on Monday to celebrate what makes us all unique. Over the course of the week, the children took part in lessons where they learnt about the difference between bullying and falling out, different types of bullying and what to do if they or someone they know is being bullied. The theme this year was ‘One Kind Word’ so we focused on giving compliments to others.

Year 1 - Local Walk

We are planning on taking the children in Year 1 for a short walk around the local area as part of our Geography work on Thursday 25th November (weather permitting). Please can we ask that children in Year 1 ensure that they have a warm coat, hat, and suitable footwear/wellies for this walk.

Many Thanks

REMINDER:
Due to maintenance, there will be no hot meals served today at lunch. Only cold packed lunches for those who wish to have one (£2.40 for those who pay). Thank you

We would love to continue to share the children’s achievements outside school as well as in school.

If you would like to share your child’s celebrations on our social media page, please email a photo, along with a short caption to their teacher’s email or [email protected]
Thank you!⭐️

🎈 Happy Birthday! 🎈

2KH celebrating Children in Need. As well as dressing up to raise money, year 2 have been learning all about Children in Need and why we raise money for them. They have also been playing a Children in Need Escape Room game, and reading stories about Pudsey and Blush. It’s been a great day and the children have been brilliant!

4JB have enjoyed creating a ‘tree of kindness’ this week.
They made this while learning about anti-bullying week and the theme this year which is ‘one kind word’.

RGR have been looking at different buildings, creations and inventions in their ‘Build it Up’ topic. Yesterday, they became designers and builders and needed to work together to design and build a shelter big enough for them to sit inside! The children started off by drawing up their plans using paper and clipboards. They thought carefully about the materials they needed and the different ways they should make their den.

Thank you

A huge well done to all the Grange Park children that took part in Remembrance parades across Telford yesterday, Mrs Norris attended the one at Telford Town Park and was blown away by how many Grange park students past and present took part.

They were fantastic at marching with the parade and then all stood silently through the service.

It was a delight to watch, well done all.

REMINDER!

One of the Year 4 girls that played in a school football match this afternoon is missing her Grange Park cardigan.

If your child has played in the fixture today, could you please check they haven’t put it in their bag by accident.

Grange Park remembers.
When you go home, tell them of us and say “for your tomorrow, we gave our today”.
A huge, heartfelt thank you for the beautiful poppies that have been brought in from home and made by children in class too. We have been blown away by your creativity and generosity and think you’ll agree that our poppy display is truly amazing.

The children in RAC enjoyed their first “tinkering” session last week.
If anyone has any of the following, we would gladly accept to help continue these sessions: old and broken laptops, toasters, kettles, computers, CD players, phones, clocks, fans, push & pull toys, battery operated toys, screwdrivers, hammers, screws, pliers, nuts and bolts...the list of items is endless! We just ask that they are safe (no broken glass/exposed wires etc). If you are unsure, please just ask!😊
The children looked inside a real toolbox with Mrs Hodgkiss. They learnt about: hammers, screwdrivers, chisels, wrenches, pliers, saws and screws/nails. The children were very sensible and had some fantastic ideas about the different tools and their uses.
The children were able to use hammers, screwdrivers and pliers to put nails and screws into the pumpkins and then take them out.

This autumn, no fewer than 2250 classes located in 6 countries received a Bulbs4Kids kit. With the 600 flower bulbs in every kit, this means that more than 1.3 million flower bulbs will be planted in school gardens around the world.

Grange Park were one of four hundred schools in England lucky enough to receive a pack.

Year 1 came dressed in their best party clothes on Thursday ready for a Royal Tea Party. They learnt about the family tree of the Royal family and enjoyed eating fancy cakes and biscuits before singing the National Anthem. The highlight of the party was receiving a special video from Prince William wishing us a lovely time!

Olivia in 6AW, was inspired by the COP26 assembly to go home and find out more about global warming.

Thank you to the children who have already started to bring their poppies in ready for our Remembrance Day display. These have been made by Alice and Reign in RAC. If you would like to make one at home, please bring it in by Tuesday 9th November.
