Year 1 Spelling Shed League

We have set up all Year 1 children on a Spelling Shed League.  Everytime they play the game set up called YEAR 1 AND YEAR 2 KS1 FULL LIST they will win points.  All children start as Eggs, and as they earn more points they progress up through Larva, Drone, Worker Bee, Soldier Bee and eventually achieve Royal Bee!  Each time they move up a level they will earn a house point and receive a certificate to celebrate the achievement!

   

 

 

 

 

Please help encourage your child to access Spelling Shed at home – just 5 minutes a day will make a big difference!

 

Weather Watch: Wed 26th February

There is the potential for snow overnight, so we advise listening to Radio Shropshire in the morning just in case there is a decision to delay the start of the school day or close the school.  This is a decision that is never taken lightly, but we do have to consider the safety of everyone trying to get to school, particularly considering the geographical location of Ditton Priors and the local area.

Thunk of the Week!

We have introduced ‘Thunks’ to the school to help develop deeper thinking and analysis skills.  Click here to find out more.

To promote ‘THUNKs’ we have a ‘Thunk of the Week’ which is shared on a giantblackboard, which will sit outside Reception.  Parents and children are welcome to contribute with their own thoughts.  These are the Thunk rules:-

  1. There are no wrong or right answers.
  2. You have to provide an explanation.
  3. We respond respectfully.

We will share our thoughts at the end of each week and there will be a new one each Monday. Happy Thunking!

Ex Pupils Visit – Sporting Achievement

We had a visit from Jess and Niamh, who are both in Year 8 at Bridgnorth Endowed School, who came to talk to Class 3 and 4 about sporting opportunities available at Bridgnorth Endowed School (curriculum and extra-curricular) but also about their achievements in local sporting clubs.

Niamh is a Shropshire County netball player, amongst other sporting achievements, and is looking forwards to a netball team trip to Italy in the near future, and Jess was scouted for Bridgnorth Girls’ Football team.  We are very proud of their achievements and hopefully they will have inspired some of our pupils to have a go at some different sports out of school, and show them what they can achieve if they put their minds and best efforts to play.  Thanks you Jess and Niamh for coming back and sharing your successes with us!

Care Home Visit

Our Brown Clee Buddies enjoyed another visit to Ditton Priors Care Home to read to the residents and enjoy sharing a chat and a smile.  The residents really look forwards to our visits – Roland and Joan are always waiting for us looking out of the window!

Thought for today!

Today we have started to share this book with the children…all about a Boy who met a Mole, then a Fox and a Horse. We are using the beautiful pages as thought provoking discussions.

 

 

 

 

Today’s thought was the first page…

 

Cough Lozenges/Sweets

We are aware that there are a lot of bugs involving coughs and sore throats around at the moment, but would like to remind parents that if they wish their child to have any medication, it needs to be handed in at reception and the appropriate paperwork completed.  This also includes cough lozenges which have specific dosages.

With regards to cough sweets, such as Soothers etc, we would kindly request that these are not sent in with children.

Our School Prayer

So proud of all our children who have created a school prayer through shared discussion about what prayer is, and what we want for our school.

Folk Whistle Lessons

Class 4 have begun their folk whistle lessons today as part of their curriculum learning.  The children are being taught by the Shropshire Music Service, and as part of the learning they will be borrowing a Folk Whistle. They can take these home and borrow them for the term in order to practice. We do ask that they are taken care of as they will need to be returned at the end of term to be returned to the Shropshire Music Service.

Brown Clee Buddies first Care Home visit of 2020!

Henry and Lewis joined Maisie and Bebe as the Brown Clee Buddy team who go up to Ditton Priors Care Home each week to read stories and share a chat.  The residents really welcomed them back after the 2 week holiday!
