Year 6 Forensic Science Day

Our Year 6s have had a brilliant day at the Corbet School participating in a Forensic Science Workshop. Bunsen burners, soluble and insoluble powders, microscope and hair to solve the clues for a “whodunnit”?!

The Year 6s had a wonderful time!

Celebration Assembly 22nd February

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!

We enjoyed a brilliant trip to Theatre Severn this week to see the Christmas Panto – Jack and the Beanstalk. We were even more surprised to see our very own Seren get up on stage and take part in the children’s challenge, singing in front of the whole theatre!

A special ‘thank you’ to the Friends of Ruyton who funded the tickets for every child to experience and enjoy this show – your fundraising efforts brought many smiles to lots of faces and made special memories!
