Another chock-a-block term at Grange PrimarySchool:

Firstly, we would like to mention how well Year 6 have done in preparation for and during their SATs week. All pupils worked hard and have since been enjoying their preparation work for moving to secondary school. They went to a day event run by Crucial Crew Shropshire, where they took part in 10 different scenarios learning about life skills.
When we asked students what they thought excellence was; Martha Draper in Year 5 said, “it is high quality”; Joe Haddock Year 4 said, “something great” and Iwan Howells Year 4 simply said, “brilliant”. Pupils at Grange strive for excellence in everything they do and we are proud our Grangers have such high standards.
Both Year 6 and Year 3 have been fortunate enough this term to have had swimming as part of their curriculum. A lot of tired pupils returned after the sessions but all with smiles on their faces and a sense of achievement.
Classes across the school have been competing whilst helping to save the environment. The Grange has teamed up with SchoolCycled, an initiative designed to educate the next generation about recycling, fragile ecosystems and sustainability. Every week class representatives have brought their plastic bottle tops to assembly, that have been collected by the class that week, and we see which class has collected the most. The competition is taken very seriously by all!
We have had various events during the term, including tennis workshops, a Year 3 residential and the whole school celebrated the King’s Coronation, and despite the busy term all the classes have taken their turn at looking after and caring for the animals in the school farm. Pupils are happy to feed them, clean them out and obviously provide a lot of fuss.
By now the school will have also had numerous sporting events during the term; sports day, football festivals, race for life, house rounders and table tennis workshops. Hopefully you will have seen the photos on the school’s Facebook page.
Thank you to everyone; parents and pupils, for a great term and we look forward to seeing you and working with you in September!
