Jubilee Fun Run Total!

⭐️ JUBILEE FUN RUN TOTAL ⭐️We’re excited to be able to announce the total raised from the jubilee sponsored fun run held at school just before the half term holiday!! You all raised a total of £731.50 and thanks to all those that completed the gift aid sponsor forms, Mrs Aspinall placed a claim with the HMRC for a further £176.63 in gift aid. Therefore, the TOTAL for the fun run is:

£908.13!!!! 😁.

Carol Aspinall (Friends):

“That is a truly fantastic amount for such a small school to have raised and I am really proud to be part of such a fantastic school community, well done everyone!! With previous events and fund raising, we are now well on the way to having raised a very large part of the monies we need to be able to build a super new adventure playground at the school and hope to be able to book this for the next school year which will be fantastic! Thank you all.”

Fun Fest on 16th July next! 😁

The Village Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

It was just wonderful to see the school grounds filled with so many people enjoying the Village Jubilee Celebrations on Saturday. On behalf of the school, we would like to say a huge well done and thank you to the organisers for bringing everyone together – this includes our Chair of Governors, Keith Lister, and his wife Alyson. Alyson also continues to help keep our sensory garden which many people commented on as we all enjoyed the school grounds in the sunshine. We thank you both. In case you missed it, here is the School Hall and our children’s work in all its royal glory !

Jubilee Picnic 🇬🇧 👑

We enjoyed a delicious Jubilee Picnic on the last day of half term – the sun shone as we replenished our energy levels after the Fun Run! As you can see; it was red, white and blue with smiles all round!
We hope you enjoy your Platinum Jubilee celebrations as much as we did in school this week.

Jubilee Fun Run

We had a brilliant day of Jubilee celebrations on Friday with a Jubilee Fun Run! Dressed in red, white and blue, the whole school got warmed up and took part in a sponsored run, organised by the Friends of Ruyton.

We were delighted to welcome Mr & Mrs Gittins to the event to not only start the races, but join in too!

Thank you to Mr & Mrs Gittins for spending the morning with the children and also Mrs Aspinall & Mrs Beddoes for their help on the day. We can’t wait to find out how much money was raised!

Online safety for parents and families – updates & Parent Zone

In the latest Computing Network for staff, Shropshire Council speakers shared these great resources. The first is a snapshot from Ofcom who have released the 2022 findings from their research into Media Use and Attitudes to raise awareness of what children may be accessing.

Also, they shared a brilliant website ‘Parent Zone’ which gives clear guidance about how to manage safety features on different apps / programmes whilst giving further details about how they work. It’s really useful to stay up-to-date in the ever-changing world of technology. Check out the link below :

If you have any questions, please speak to Miss Whit (Computing Lead) who will endeavour to help!

Red Nose Day – Friday 18th March

On Friday 18th March we are celebrating Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day in style!

Firstly, “Wear your favourite outfit” on Friday… from football kits to party dresses, wear whatever you love most. It’s all about YOU!

Secondly, we are holding a Bake Sale on Thursday and Friday. If you can, bake or donate some cakes for Fun & Games Council to sell over the two days: all money raised will be donated to Comic Relief.

Eco-Team have also set another challenge: it has been Fair Trade Fortnight over the past two weeks so they have challenged any bakers to use a Fair Trade ingredient in their creations… Good luck!

Worship with Reverend Burns

Today we welcomed Reverend Burns into school to lead our daily Worship. Owl Class children were involved in some acting too to deliver the message about honesty through the story of Peter (and a little help from Pinocchio!)
