Around 60 children proudly represented Telford Junior School at the Local Area Athletics Competition, competing in a wide range of track and field events. Despite battling through torrential downpours for much of the day, our athletes demonstrated fantastic determination, resilience and sportsmanship, performing exceptionally well throughout. We are delighted that a number of children have qualified to represent the school at the Area Finals later this month. 

Year 3 had a wonderful visit to St Mary Magdalene’s Church in Lillington. The trip gave the children a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the history of Lillington and the Christian faith in a real-life setting.

During the visit, the children explored different areas of the church and learned about some of the key features found in a Christian church. They discovered the meaning of Baptism and how it welcomes people into the Christian community, as well as learning about Holy Communion and even having the chance to try Communion wafers.

The visit also helped the children understand more about remembrance and the impact of war on the local community. By looking at memorials inside the church, they learned how people remember those who have served and why remembrance is an important part of local history in Lillington.

The children showed great curiosity, asked thoughtful questions and behaved exceptionally well throughout the visit. A big thank you as well to the parent helpers who joined us and supported the

Congratulations to the 25 children who represented the school at the Leamington Cross-Country event at Edmondscote Track last Saturday. Despite some tricky conditions, all of our runners showed great determination and resilience, performing brilliantly and doing the school proud. Very well done to the Y5 boys' team for winning the event and to the Y6 boys for their third place.

The Year 6 classes had a great day visiting the Tower of London, supporting their History topic about Crime and Punishment. 

Year 4 enjoyed an engaging workshop with a visiting robotics company. The session centred around bringing Ted Hughes’ “The Iron Man” to life, using LEGO robotics kits. Pupils worked collaboratively to design and build their own Iron Man robots, showing great teamwork as they planned, constructed and solved problems together. After building the robots, the children programmed them to move, light up and even speak, using sensors, so that the robots responded to their environment. Excitement filled the room whenever the Iron Man reacted to someone’s presence. The workshop was not only fun, it also introduced pupils to the basics of robotics, programming and STEM engineering through hands-on learning. The visit inspired creativity and curiosity, with many children expressing a keen interest in exploring technology and robotics further in the future.
