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!

World Book Day

For World Book Day this year we are focusing on the story ‘The Huge Bag of Worries’ as a whole school.

Reading and sharing stories and books is an important part of life at Brown Clee School. With this in mind we have decided not to dress up this year.

During the day we have an author coming to talk to Key Stage One, we will be taking part in activities inspired by our chosen book and we will be sharing the fruit and vegetable characters the children have made at home.

World Book Day – Thursday 5th March

World Book Day

This year for World Book Day we shall be focusing on one book as a whole school. 

We have chosen:

The Huge Bag of Worries By Virginia Ironside

We will share the story together as a school and throughout the day each class will take part in activities inspired by the story. 

 

We are also inviting the children to bring in a fruit or vegetable fictional character that they have made. 

It could be a parsnip Harry Potter, an apple Mrs Twit or a banana Podkin One Ear! 

We look forward to seeing your creations!

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!

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.

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.
