Class 1 update…..

Here is what Alfie and George have been up to …. Well done boys, it is lovely to hear from you!

Covid 19 Situation

We have now been closed for 6 weeks, and as a school we have been following the government guidelines since the beginning of this situation, and will continue to do so.

There is much speculation in the media about what will happen with schools in the future. We have no information regarding this whatsoever, and we will continue to follow the government’s guidance when it is updated.

We thought it might be useful to gauge what concerns or thoughts you have as parents, regarding schools re-opening (bearing in mind we do not know what format or timescale this may be).  If you wish to share these with us, as it may help us to reassure you when the guidance changes, then please email admin@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk.

Whatever happens in the future days and weeks, we can reassure you that we will always have pupil well-being and safety as a priority.

Good afternoon Class 2! Thank you for your emails and the photos that you have sent. I’ve just worked out how to put video clips into the posts directly so here is Isabelle doing Just Dance!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend! Please feel free to email at the weekend if you’ve got any work you’ve finished.

Calling all Tree Spirits!

I have seen some fantastic tree spirits    that have been made by Class 3 pupils in the last few days!

If you have a photograph of your tree spirit that you haven’t sent in yet, don’t forget to send it to me by this evening.

I would love to gather them all together and send them to show the author of our class reader, The Golden Acorn.

Class 1’s sharing post

Good afternoon Class 1. Here is your daily update as to what everyone has been doing in Class 1. Well done everyone, I hope you have a lovely weekend. See you Monday!

I had lots of lovely work to look at when I looked at my emails this morning! Thank you and well done everyone, I can see that you are working very hard at home.

Benji is 5!

Benji is 5 today, His mum has sent me a picture of him with his Minion birthday cake. It looks great. I hope you have a lovely day!

Reflection Time and Prayer of the Day

Good Morning Brown Clee!

Well here we are at the end of another week of remote learning.  It has been 6 weeks now since we have been together, including the Easter holidays, and we are really missing everyone.  The photos are wonderful and really help everyone to stay in touch and keep us together ‘virtually’, so again, thank you so much for sending them in!

When we return to school after the 6 week summer holiday, we always comment on how much everyone has changed; you are all taller (sometimes a lot taller!) and also more grown up and mature.  So we can’t help wonder how much we will have changed when we do finally get back together.  Being together is so important – and it is something that Captain (or rather Colonel!) Tom has sung about recently with Michael Ball.

We learnt about the amazing Captain Tom previously, and his amazing fundraising feat – he has now surpassed £30 MILLION!!  Well yesterday he celebrated his 100th birthday, and as well as that, his song has reached number one in the charts – it’s called “You’ll Never Walk Alone” – and that is true for everyone – as we are always together, as a team, even if we can’t see each other.  In fact Colonel Tom says himself “The sun will shine again, and we will never walk alone!” There are 2 videos to watch and listen to –

Captain Tom being given the news he is Number 1 in the Charts 

YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE by Captain Tom and Michael Ball

We have another birthday to celebrate today – as Benji is a fantastic 5 years old today!  Congratuations Benji – we hope you have a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENJI

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,
We thank you for our friends and for the happy times that we share with them.
Help us to be a good friend to them.
During this time when we can’t play with our friends,
Please help us to find creative ways to keep in touch.
Thank you that you are our friend and will be with us always.
Thank you that you are always with us and never leave us on our own.
Help us to keep our eyes wide open to notice when other people need a friend to care for them.
Amen.

Thank you very much for all the great work you have sent today. I’ve had some lovely writing and drawings, well done everyone!

Class 1’s Sharing Post.

Good afternoon everyone!

Thank you once again to everyone for sharing what you have been doing. There has been lots of maths and English work. I have really enjoyed reading your favourite parts of Sharing a Shell. We have such lovely children in Class 1, who said that their favourite part was when they were all friends sharing a shell together. This made them feel happy.

 

I have also had a couple of video’s to share. One of Brooke dressing up and another of Jake doing some brilliant sounding and blending. I hope you enjoy them.

Reflection Time and Prayer of the Day

Good Morning Brown Clee!  It looks like it was a busy day for many yesterday, with indoor picnics and giant towers, puppet making and lots of art work including a giant Titanic!  Well done and thank you – as it really brightens my day seeing everyone!

For assembly today I thought it might be nice for a change to listen to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who is leading the first virtual assembly ever this morning at 10am.  If you click this link it will take you to the assembly, that is due to be available at 10am.

Prayer of the Day

Risen Christ,
you filled your disciples with boldness and fresh hope:
strengthen us to proclaim your risen life
and fill us with your peace,
to the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

Good morning Class 2! I hope you are all having a good week so far, despite the rain.

There’s quite a lot of writing in the activities today so please don’t think that you have to finish it all today. I know some of you are not choosing to write very much but it is important that you keep it going. It would be so nice to read some lovely stories and postcards!

Reading

Here’s today’s chapter from Pax:

 

 

Daily Video

Here’s today’s animation:

and some questions to get you thinking:

1.) What two things make the lady want to get a new robot?
2.) What does the new robot do with the old one?
3.) Why does the lady like the new robot at first?
4.) What makes the lady want to get rid of the new robot?
5.) After the old robot is kicked out, what makes it come back?
6.) Which robot would you prefer and why?

 

Writing

Today’s writing task is to create a poster advertising one of the robots from today’s video (you can choose which one). Things to think about: what images you may want to include, what information you wish to include and the price. Remember, if you’re advertising something, you’re trying to make the reader want whatever you are advertising (in this case a robot).

 

History

Our topic this term is going to be Tudor Shropshire. Last week in history, we looked at home the Tudors fitted within the bigger picture of British history. Today, you are going to see if you can find out the order of these Tudor Kings and Queens.
