  Cathryn Williams from Shropshire Fire and Rescue was very impressed with our Safety Squad's enthusiasm for the topic of Water Safety, and their presentation to the children on Monday 1st July.  Cathryn showed the children how to use a Throw Line and talked about Float to Live - what to do in an emergency from the RNLI.

   

  The Squad shared the importance of always staying with your family or group and to stay away from the edge of the water.

• Land Art Project 2024

  Fri 14 Jun 2024 Mrs Hoos

  The children of Cockshutt Primary School have been collecting bottle tops since September 2023 along with the community and on Friday we completed the land art project with the very talented Kate Raggett. The Mandala measures a huge 20ft in diameter and it was an absolute pleasure working with Kate and the children on this unusual project. It brought to light some very important topics including the importance of recycling and how much waste we as humans create. In addition to this, it is important to note that art can be created from even the simplest of things (bottle tops!) and the effect is absolutely stunning.

  

• Shropshire Sings

  Thu 13 Jun 2024 Mrs Cheesman

  On Wednesday, we were lucky enough to take 12 children to Shropshire Sings at West Midlands showground. It was a fantastic event where we performed 12 different songs to an audience of families. There were lots of other schools there and we were lucky to be sat with our Meres Edge federation school, Criftins. The children had a great time talking to other children. 
   

  The children were absolutely fantastic and represented Cockshutt so well. They sang their hearts out and performed brilliantly. I am so proud of the children and they should be very proud of themselves. Well done.
