Kenyan Safari Challenge – Class 4

The year 6s in school have been running daily to add to Archie’s Kenyan Safari Challenge.

Today – in rather wet conditions – we managed 22 miles between us.

Remember, for those of you at home, it would be great if you could be completing some distances and sending them in (along with some photos of you doing it), and Miss Relph can add it to the total.

Reception Groupings – 1st Week back in September

With the lack of a normal transition for new reception children, and with the restrictions to ‘normal’ operations in place due to Covid19, we have split the new reception intake into smaller groups for the start of the new year. This will allow staff to support and help children get familiar with their new routines and classroom in a calm, nurtured manner.

Each child will get 2 half days in school – one in a small group of 5 or 6 children, and then in a bigger group of 10 or 11, to allow them to get familiar with the start and end of day routines, as well as having the chance to learn classroom procedures and layout.

We appreciate that this could be difficult for working parents, but we have to put safety and children well-being first – and with a large intake of 22 children, we felt this was the best way to ensure their start in school was positive.

Reception Groupings

Thank you for returning the New Parent Paperwork – Mrs Fox will be contacting each parent individually to talk through the start of term, and answer any questions. Please do use the class email address to ask any questions ahead of Mrs Fox’s phone call!

Reflection Time and Prayer of the Day

Good Morning Brown Clee!

Yesterday we started Archie’s Kenyan Safari Challenge – and hopefully the school community have been clocking up the miles, by walking, running, cycling, swimming as many as miles as we can! Yesterday we also learnt about what life is like being an child living in rural Kenya. Today we are continuing with the theme of learning about Kenya, and we are going to learn 10 fascinating facts about the country. Enjoy watching the video and then have a think and chat about what you have learnt – what is similar to the UK and what is different?

What similarities did you spot between Kenya and the UK? What differences did you notice? Do you think you’d like to visit?

I will be updating you throughout the week with our progress to travelling around the Kenyan border – so keep watching the school news!

Here’s a song about the importance of exercise to warm you up for your travels!

https://youtu.be/IXGFtDftYRw

We also have a birthday to celebrate today, Happy Birthday Mia!!

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,
Help us to understand that we are part of a bigger picture.
May we try to do our best in everything, regardless of whether it appears to be important or not.
We thank you for all those people who play a part in our lives and we ask that we may appreciate all that they do.
Amen.

Archie’s Kenyan Safari Challenge for Karibuni Children!

Today is the Start of Archie’s Kenyan Safari Challenge to raise money for the Karibuni Children- so get your training shoes on and start travelling!! We are starting from Mombasa and heading up the coast!

These are some of the things that you might see if you were travelling the coast for real…

Please email me your miles as soon as you have done them to head@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk and I will keep a running total and let everyone know how far we get each day. Let’s see how far up the coast we can get today!

Don’t forget to send your photos too – here is Archie and his brother William, dressed in African animal costume ready for their first leg of the journey!

Here is the link to the online Giving Page – https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/BrownCleeSchool

And if you’d rather not use online giving to support the Karibuni Children, then you could send cheques to school payable to Karibuni Children. All sponsorship and donations needs to be in by Friday 17th July (end of term).

Reflection Time and Prayer of the Day

Good Morning Brown Clee!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Today is the first day of Archie’s Kenyan Safari Challenge! So we need you to get travelling, and get sponsoring at uk.virginmoneygiving.com/BrownCleeSchool

We have 7 days to travel the distance of the Kenyan border – a total of 2141 miles! We need EVERYONE to join in – children, parents, staff and governors! Each time you go for a walk, run, cycle, horse ride or swim – clock up the miles and email me (head@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk) the total distance. So if a family of 4 went for a 10 mile cycle – that is 40 miles!! Please also send photographs and we will map the journeys each day on the website!

Today we are starting from Mombasa and heading North up the coast – how far can we get in one day do you think? It is just over 209 miles to the Somalian border – can we make it?

As we go through the week I thought it would be good to learn more about Kenya, Karibuni Children, and what it is like being a child in Kenya. Here is a video about an 8 year old girl called Naresiah, who lives in a village called Kimana near the Tanzanian border.

So far we have raised over £500 – we are 20% of the way to our target of £2,141 – a pound for every mile travelled! So please, please share – as not only are we helping communities in Kenya that need our support, but we are also giving Archie and all the children at Brown Clee an important message – that we can all make a difference, no matter how small we are!

We have had another message from the communities that Karibuni help and support – this one if from Oliver who is the Programme Director for the Community Centre in Maua, Kenya…

It’s very inspiring what Archie is doing at just 7 years old. I wish to encourage him with this Tanzania Proverb:

“Little by Little, A Little becomes A Lot!!”

All the best to the young one.

With love Oliver.

Let’s see how much happiness we can bring to the children in Kenya, with our kindness…

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,
May we look for ways to help those in need.
May we be generous in all situations.
May we learn to consider the needs of all those we meet.
May we all realise the power of kindness.
Amen.
