We were very honoured to have been asked to form a choir to perform for the recent Princess Anne visit to Ellesmere. The children were excited and nervous for this event, however they sang beautifully and we are very proud of how well they represented the school.
Thank you to everyone who attended our Easter Service today. The children were fantastic performing their poems and readings and their singing was amazing.
Thank you to our amazing PTA for organising another successful Easter Bingo event. It was lovely to see so many of our families and members of the community there to support the school. A total of £629 was raised.
The children in the Hawk house enjoyed their end of term house point treat. Even though it was a damp and soggy day, they still had a great time at the Iron Works Centre.

Today Chestnut class had a wonderful visit to Xplore in Wrexham. They took part in a construction workshop where they had to explore elements of the shape, height and length of buildings and construct a bridge. They had lots of opportunity to learn through play, where they explored the human body, light and dark, sound and infrared cameras. We were told what amazing scientist we were by the xplore educators! Well done Chestnut class.
This week I talked to the children about their learning in Maths, they were enthusiastic and talked at length about their learning. The depth of their knowledge was very impressive. They also had super ideas for future Maths events in school.
