Sunflower Competition

Well done to all of the children who took part in the sunflower growing competition. It was lovely to see how proud the children were of their sunflowers and the excitement they felt when showing them to their friends. Hopefully the sunflowers will continue to grow over the summer and we will see if there are any left standing in September. Congratulations to Frank, Connor and Jadzia who were the winners!

 

ISING Pop Assembly

Today the whole school enjoyed an ISING pop assembly. We danced, sang, spelt ‘love’ with our bodies and even measured children’s mouths to see whose was the biggest. This was linked with our school values. What a brilliant morning!

Egg Rolling

All children will need to bring a hard-boiled egg on the last day of term to take part in the egg rolling competition. Eggs can be painted or crayoned but not varnished or coated in plastic. The eggs are rolled one at a time down a ramp on the playground to see which one will go the furthest. There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for each class. Parents and friends are invited along to join in the fun.

Clee, Wrekin and Caradoc classes will roll their eggs between 2.00 p.m. and 2.30 p.m.

Lawley, Stiperstones and Long Mynd will roll their eggs between 2.30 p.m. and 3.00 p.m.

 

Easter Egg Hunt

The PTA are having a Easter Egg hunt after school on Thursday 11th April at 3.00pm. The cost is £2 per ticket and needs to be paid for by Friday 5th April to ensure that we have enough prizes. To pay for this event please send your child with the correct money into class. Each class will keep a record of the tickets purchased. The tickets will then be handed out on the day of the Easter Egg Hunt. Your family can then find the missing letters to spell out the name of our special Easter Bunny and return to the front of school to collect their prize. A guaranteed Easter Egg for every ticket purchased!

Online cashless system

Online cashless system

We are currently setting up an online cashless system for school that links up to a text messaging service. Our aim is to be a cashless school from after the Easter holidays. This means that you will be able to pay for visits, lunch, uniform and sign up to breakfast club by making the payments from online. The system will be live from April 1st and will be in full use from 29th April, please can you ensure that school have up to date mobile phone numbers to enable our text messaging system to be set up correctly. 

School Dinners

School Dinners

We have held our price for school meals at Minsterley School very successfully for a few years now at £2.10 per lunch.  However, despite our best efforts the price of £2.10 does not enable us to cover the total cost of the school meals at the School.  This means that we must raise the cost. As a result, we have taken the decision that the price of a school meal will increase to £2.20 per meal from 29th March. This is in line with other local schools some of whom already charge £2.20.
