Our friends from the church came in this morning to do another whole school Open the Book. This morning, they performed the story of “The Unforgiving Servant” with some help from a few children in Owl Class. This helped us reflect on our school value of the month “Forgiveness”.
Today we went to visit our local church to find out what makes a church special to Christians. Once we got inside, we explored the building and spotted objects that we have already learnt about in relation to Christianity. Mrs Farmer then showed us around the church and taught us about some of its features and how some of the objects within it are used.
While we were there, we all sat silently and shut our eyes to take in the atmosphere of the church. We then thought about how this made us feel. Some of the words we came up with were peaceful, calm and relaxing.
For the next couple of weeks, Hedgehog Class are going to be looking for the signs of spring. Let’s hope the weather realises it’s spring soon too! Here they are doing some beautiful observational drawings of things we found outside.
It’s been an active week at Ruyton this week! Bikeability, Cross Country AND a Dodgeball Championship!
Firstly, a huge well done to our Year 6s who underwent Bikeability Training from Shropshire Council. This entailed two days of working with instructors to prove their ability to ride their bikes on the road safely including independent decision making around traffic in the village. We are proud that everyone who took part completed their Level 2 Bikeability!
Well done Year 6 🌟
Our KS2 Dodgeball Team then attended the Thomas Adams School in Wem for the North Shropshire Finals of the competition (following their success in Autumn Term).
Incredibly, our team – consisting of Year 4,5 and 6 players – got through to the semi-finals before narrowly losing out!
A massive well done to all the players involved – it is a super achievement for our small school and you represented us fantastically well.
Cross Country @ Corbet
All children in KS2 (Year 3, 4,5, 6) participated in a cross-country event at the Corbet School on Wednesday. Everyone completed the course – many for the first time- and showed super determination to achieve their best. Well done Team Ruyton!

In other news…
Mrs Beddoes modelled these new hi-viz coats which have been kindly donated by Stop n Go. The jackets will be worn by our Bumblebees children so they are more visible to everyone at playtimes. We think they look great!
Rabbit and Hedgehog Class had a fantastic day at ‘The British Ironworks Centre’. We explored the variety of trails there are and enjoyed looking at the sculptures and thinking about how they were made and what they were made from. We were all very interested in the ‘Extinction Trail’ and learning about how and why animals become extinct. The children were fantastic representatives for the school and impressed the adults on the trip with their knowledge of animal diets and locating where the animals lived!
We have been learning the story “Let’s all creep through crocodile creek” since coming back to school in January. Today, we learnt how to make a story map by creating a whole class shared one. After that, the children took it in turns to retell the whole story using their map to help them. We all think they did a super job of their first story maps and can’t wait to see them having a go at making their own later in the week!
