St Matthew’s Friday Feature

Shrewsbury Museum

“On Tuesday our class went to Shrewsbury Museum to learn

about dinosaurs. When we got there a lady told us where to put

out coats and bags. She then took us up lots of stairs and found

out how a fossil is made using props to help. Then we all became

dinosaur detectives and went on a hunt following footprints to

discover different dinosaurs including a stegosaurus and

brachiosaurus whilst singing “We’re on a hunt for dinosaurs

with great big teeth and great big claws”. It was so much fun!”

by Menassah and Isaac

Feedback from lady at Museum: “It

was an absolute pleasure to have you.

The children and staff from St

Matthews were our favourite visitors

this year!”

My School App Last term we advised you that we had

bought into a new ‘App’ as a way of

communicating information to our parents.

More information can be found on

www.myschoolapp.co.uk. This app is up and

running and we would like to encourage as many parents to sign up

as possible. This app does not cost our parents at all.

There will now be three ways of receiving communication from

school:

MySchoolApp Facebook Email

We hope that you will join us in embracing the new paperless way

of communication in this digital age.

Tag Rugby “On Wednesday the school Tag Rugby team travelled to Newport

Rugby Club to take part in a tournament. We played an amount of 5

games altogether, unfortunately losing all. The scores were : 5-12

4-3 5-4 5-6 3-1. We all had fun and enjoyed the experience

there. In our category we came 6th. Our good techniques were

working together, communication, teamwork, perseverance and

respect. We would like to say a big thank you to our coach, Mr

Gray and Mrs Walton for supporting us on our journey from the

beginning to the end. Thanks Shaneka for the chocolate brownies,

they were gone in 1

minute !!!!!! Great

teamwork and effort

to the team: Bailey,

Shaneka, Kevin, Susie,

Holly, Joshua, Kerin,

Mia and Imogen.”
