Year 6 had a highly successful residential visit to Condover Hall in Shropshire, with staff particularly praising the excellent behaviour shown throughout - always wonderful to hear. The children fully embraced every activity, represented the school brilliantly and clearly had a fantastic time.

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.
Congratulations to all the children who represented Telford Junior School at the cross-country event. With more than 400 children competing, it was a highly competitive and inspiring morning of racing. We are especially proud of our Year 5 boys’ team, who achieved an outstanding result by winning the team event.
Thank you to all the children and families who attended and supported our runners. Despite the damp weather, our pupils showed great determination and team spirit. Running long distance is always a challenge, and every child who took part demonstrated real effort and pride in representing the school.
We would also like to extend our thanks to Mrs Woodcock for accompanying the children and supporting them throughout the event.
The Year 6 classes had a great day visiting the Tower of London, supporting their History topic about Crime and Punishment.
The Year 3 classes enjoyed taking part in a Stone Age Experience Day, delivered by the Warwick Museum Service. The children had great fun, examining artefacts and working in teams to answer questions about this fascinating period in history.
Each class also staged their very own Stone Age Exhibition, showcasing their fantastic project work. It was wonderful to have so many parents and carers joining us to share the children’s hard work and to hear the children talk about their exhibits.
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.
Year 4 enjoyed an exciting cross-curricular Diwali week, filled with colour, creativity and celebration! The children learnt about the Festival of Light and its special traditions, exploring the themes of joy, kindness and togetherness.
They drew intricate Mehndi patterns and investigated symmetry through wonderful rangoli designs. The highlight of the week was learning a traditional Diwali dance, where everyone joined in with enthusiasm. It was a week of learning, discovery and cultural appreciation - a truly bright way for Year 4 to end a great first half term and celebrate the spirit of Diwali!
Our school community came together in an incredible show of generosity for our Harvest collection. Families donated a wonderful selection of tinned and fresh food, which was displayed in the hall as a backdrop to our Harvest assemblies. The display looked superb, with some lovely fresh produce highlighting the importance of the season.
During the assemblies, we reflected on all that Harvest means – giving thanks for the food we so often take for granted and recognising the hard work of farmers, producers and retailers, who ensure it reaches our shelves and our tables. We also spoke about the good that can be done when we share what we have with others, supporting those in our local community who may be struggling.
All the donations were taken to the Warwick Foodbank distribution centre, where they will make a real difference to local families. A huge thank you goes to the children who helped at every stage – from receiving and unpacking donations, to setting up the display and packing everything ready for delivery. Their teamwork and enthusiasm were inspiring - ably led by Bea and George (pictured).
We are so proud of the generosity shown by our school community – a true celebration of Harvest in action.
Our school community marked the European Day of Languages, an international event which promotes the rich diversity of languages and cultures across Europe. At Telford Junior School, each class chose a European country to research. Pupils explored their chosen nation’s people and culture, celebrating through art, cooking and tasting traditional foods, as well as dressing in the colours of their country’s flag. It was a joyful way to deepen cultural awareness and bring learning to life.
