The Hour of Code

Today our Out of School Club took part in the 'Hour of Code' event organised by Code.org, our youngest programmer was only 5 years old. Our group managed to complete all 20 puzzles in less than the hour.

Several of our participants have already asked to continue with the course and we will keep you updated with their progress.

Monday's Photo Competition

To celebrate the 125th year of the Shrewsbury Flower Show we went to the Dingle in the Quarry to hold a photography contest.

The winner was Lewis with the photograph below

The Olympic torch

The Pre-school children were so lucky to see the Olympic torch travel through Shrewsbury. Thank you very much to Kierans Mummy and Tylers Daddy for coming along with us, we all had a great time.



Michelle and Jo painted Union Jack flags on to our cheeks to show our support for the Olympics.

Here we are on our way to Old Potts Way to wait for the torch to be carried past. we were all very excited.

We waited so patiently for the runner to run up the hill with the torch.

We then saw the torches 'kiss' and the next torch bearer walked past us.

We also saw these balloons in the sky that were set up from Asda car park. They were red, white and blue to represent the colours from the Union Jack.
