Our STARS of the week 🌟

Due to illness some children have missed out of their star of the week celebrations the past few Fridays. Luckily, everyone was in school today to receive their certificates.

Nia is a star ⭐️ for trying really hard to improve her organisational skills.

Henrik is a star ⭐️ for excellent maths. He’s been completely some very tricky maths independently.

Jade is a star ⭐️ for working really hard in class and making great progress.

Stiperstones remembers 🌹

Last week Stiperstones studied ‘letters from The Trenches’ in their English lessons. We spoke about the horrors and awful conditions the soldiers faced during WW1 and how they used letters as their form of communication with loved ones back home.

On Thursday, the children wrote their own letters for The Trenches, they all wrote fantastic heartfelt letters, full of emotion and description.

At 11am, we joined the rest of the school on the playground for our 2 minutes silence. All children were very respectful and made me very proud.

Then on Friday afternoon, the children created some beautiful Remembrance artwork, using mixed media. They combined photography and oil pastels to create dramatic and very effective artwork.

Star of the week ⭐️

Our star of the week this week is Emma.

Emma is our star of the week for being an exceptional role model and always working extremely hard in class. Well done Emma. Keep up your excellent work ☺️

This morning, Stiperstones were enthusiastic and privileged to being attending a church service for the first time in almost two years. The atmosphere in Holy Trinity Church was up lifting and joyful- it was a delight to see so many parents, carers and guardians in attendance.

During the service, Stiperstones performed a pieced called ‘The Flying Pizza’ focusing on the importance of ‘food miles’ and how a pizza from a local shop or take away shop- isn’t from ‘just around the corner.’

As a class, we explored how our food is transported around the globe and researched the importance of shopping locally and buying fair trade products.

All children represented the school extremely well and made myself and Mrs Walmsley very proud.

I would just like to say a huge thank you to all parents, carers and guardians, who kindly donated food for our class hamper. The hamper was greatly received by the church, and will be greatly appreciated by those at the local food bank.
