Larry – The Axolotl

Thank you for all of those that joined our live session with Larry. Don’t worry if you didn’t/couldn’t; there will likely be another opportunity to do the same thing at another time. For that didn’t, here is Larry, the axolotl:

 

You all had some fantastic questions and lots of them! I wasn’t planning on it taking as long as it did – but, in between trying to catch worms, positioning the camera in the right place, school’s internet connection not being great and answering all of your questions, it took up quite a lot of time.

 

If we do have another live session with Larry (which I’m sure we will – if enough of you want another), it is likely to be a lot shorter! We should hopefully be able to get everyone who wants to join into the sessions too. Given a lot of you have now experienced using Teams, it will also mean that things should run slightly smoother for next time as we can learn from what worked well and how we could change things to makes the session even more efficient (for example, how best to use the chat feature appropriately to ask questions…).

 

Between now and then, I will try and figure out some of the answers to some of the questions which I wasn’t completely sure about the answers, and you could think of any other questions you might have about him.

 

I hope, for those that did join, you enjoyed it – and I hope you have a good weekend!

(Larry is currently “sleeping” off all those worms he’s eaten)

PE with Joe Wicks!

Emily, William and Libby have sent us photographs of their PE Lesson with Joe Wicks, it looks like they had fun!

Class 3 and 4: Parent Workshop Q&A Remote Learning

Good morning Class 3 and 4 parents. Yesterday I sent a post out to let you know that we have set up a virtual workshop for parents on Monday at 2pm (Class 3) and Tuesday at 2pm (Class 4) to help answer any questions you might have about how to help your child with remote learning.  I also asked for questions to be sent in ahead if at all possible so that we can prepare and answer thoroughly.  So far we have had 1 question – so they could be very short workshops!

Please do send questions in – your child might even have some – and for the workshops, we are more than happy for children to be there as long as the appropriate guidance on using Microsoft Teams is followed.

Message from Miss McKelvey

Dear Class 2,

I hope you are all working hard at home and enjoying time spent with your family.

I have been given a fantastic opportunity to start a new career which unfortunately means I will be leaving Brown Clee School. My last day is today.

It has been a great term working with you. You have been such a wonderful class to work with and I will miss you all!

I will pop into school after this lockdown when I’ll get chance to say a real goodbye.

Keep being the best you can be!

All the best, Miss McKelvey

Have fun and lets get moving!

Class 4 Parent Workshop: Q&A Session Remote Learning

We would like to invite you to join us on a virtual Parent Workshop on Tuesday 19th January at 2pm called “Q&A Session on how to help your child with remote learning.
We very much appreciate that every family will have different challenges with helping your children with the remote learning opportunities the teachers are providing.  Yesterday we held a virtual workshop for Class 1 and 2 parents where we provided a presentation with information on phonics, reading and writing as well as an opportunity for parents to ask questions.
We would like to offer something similar to Class 4 parents – this wouldn’t be a presentation but an opportunity for you to ask us questions.  It would be really helpful if these questions could be emailed in to admin@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk in advance to allow Mr Harley and myself chance to find any resources to assist with answers.
I have attached a document that provides you with information on how to download and use Microsoft Teams, which is the software that we use for virtual meetings, and this also provides some notes on protocols to use it.
We will send a link out on Tuesday morning to all Class 4 parents which you just need to use to access the meeting prior to 2pm.

We look forwards to receiving your questions and seeing you on Tuesday afternoon!

Happy Birthday Callum!

We will send a link out on Monday morning to all Class 3 parents which you just need to use to access the meeting prior to 2pm.
We look forwards to receiving your questions and seeing you on Monday afternoon!

Reflection Time and Prayer of the Week

Good Morning Brown Clee!

This morning I would like you to look at the following pictures.  See if you can describe what you see and find something in common – something that is the same about them all….

…..a choir of children singing…

….children in a football team having a group hug…

…a group of children in a tennis club…

..a group of rainbow guides..

Have you worked out what they all have in common??  They are all pictures of people in groups…can you think of a word that we might call these groups?  ….yes, a TEAM!

Sing together lyrics

Sing Together MP3s

 

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,
We all belong to various communities, clubs and groups.
We pray for all of the people we know in these groups: the leaders and the members as well as ourselves.
We thank you for all those who care for us, our families and our friends, and for our school.
Please help us to look after the people in our school.
Please help us to play our part in making this a happy and special community.
Amen.

 

 

Home Learning – Thursday 14th January

Good morning Class 2 and parents,

It has been so nice to see photographs of you and little video clips. I wondered if, over the weekend, you would like to record a short video message to the class and then I will post them next week for you to watch. I’m sure you are missing your friends very much and it would be nice for you to see and hear them.
