A few weeks ago Meredith & Amelie began writing their own play based on the book The Far Away Tree by Enid Blyton. After conversations between a group of friends the idea to put on a play happened. The group (from Class 3 & 4) practiced over playtime and lunch time and made a variety of props over a few weeks. On Wednesday they performed to the whole school. The audience were engaged with a great plot, comedy timing and jokes. They will be performing again on Friday to parents.

Our Easter Service
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend St George’s Church on Monday 18th to share in our Easter celebration. Through music, word, art and drama the children explored elements of Holy week.
For Christians, the death and resurrection of Jesus was the final part of God’s plan
Christians believe that, through Jesus’ death and resurrection, a way opened up for us as individuals to have a relationship with God and begin to tackle the wrongs in our world. They believe that Jesus’ death and resurrection makes a difference to both ourselves and society. That’s why Holy Week is so important to Christians. It’s the week when everything changed.

Orienteering
Yesterday morning, some of the children from Class 3 had the opportunity to go to Church Stretton and take part in an orienteering event. They worked in groups of 4 to follow the map and find the different markers.
The children had a brilliant time and the sun was shining, which made it even better!
Map workshop with Katy Alston
Yesterday, Class 3 had a visit from the illustrator Katy Alston, who led a brilliant workshop showing the children how she creates her maps. She showed the children the different maps she has created of areas in Shropshire and how she goes from simple sketches to producing the finished piece.
The children asked lots of questions about her maps and enjoyed finding places they knew. They were then able to begin sketching their own maps of Clun which we will add to over the coming weeks.
