Ditton Prior Care Home – Letters from Pupils

Before the Easter holiday, Class 4 children had the opportunity to write letters to the residents of our local care home, where our Brown Clee Buddies normally visit weekly to share a story or a game together.  With the current situation this interaction isn’t happening, and we are missing seeing the residents.  We thought it would be nice for our children to write them letters – so they did and I have received an email from Ditton Priors Care Home thanking the children:-

” Good Morning, Thank you very much for the letters our residents love them. Keep safe and hopefully wont be long till we can see you all again :)”

Here are some of the letters that the children sent:-

Alex

Chloe

Elliot

George Ba

George Be

Maisie

Well Done Mrs Heath!

We want to say congratulations to Mrs Heath, who has been awarded ‘Teacher of the Week’ in The Week Junior, a national current affairs magazine for young people. Mollie nominated Mrs Heath for “being so much fun” and “explaining things”. What a thoughtful thing to do Mollie….I know it has put a big smile on Mrs Heath’s face today!

Butterfly Update

I know a lot of you were enjoying the updates about the butterflies. I had promised several of you that I would keep you up to date with their progress….

I can tell you that all  five of our caterpillars successfully hatched into Painted Lady Butterflies!

I have taken some photos for you all to see how beautiful they are.

I have since released them from the habitat. Below  is a link to a short clip which shows one of them flying away…

Good Morning Brown Clee!

Another sunny day!  We had some interesting thoughts on the THUNK from yesterday: “What’s the greatest illusion? That life should be perfect”.  Here are the thoughts…

  • There is no such thing as perfect (in my opinion). We all have different ideas about what we want from life. We might want the sun to shine everyday, but would that be perfect? What would happen to the earth if the sun shone everyday and we had no rain? We might want to never have any disagreements, but do we want all our opinions to be the same? Do we all want to look the same, wear the same clothes, think the same things? Would that be perfect? If life was perfect, would it be exciting?
  • What is perfect? As surely we can always improve what we are doing, whether it is a picture, a story, a maths problem or playing a piece of music. If we thought we were perfect at something would we then give up getting any better?
  • I think it depends on what the ‘perfect’ thing is – as everyone will have their own idea of perfect, so perfect can be different for different people.

Fantastic thinking – and thanks for sharing!

Here is the THUNK for today….from the Bible:-

And here’s a cheerful Easter song to brighten your day!

Good Morning Brown Clee!

Another lovely day, and another ‘THUNK of the day’!  Yesterday’s THUNK “Is black a colour” provoked this thought from Miss Greenan:

“Black to me is a shade or a mood. We use black to represent sadness, mourning, shadows, dullness, darkness, negativity. When asked about happy colours black is rarely or never chosen. In art, black can be used to shade areas or to show night time or darkness.”

I also wondered if black is just a lack of light – so darkness?

Anyway – today’s THUNK, especially for Rosie B, who enjoys the book by Charlie Mackesey, “The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse” so much…What does this page from the book make you think?

Here’s a song to sing along to as you play/work outside in the garden!

Good Morning Brown Clee!

Good Morning!  I know this is technically the Easter Holiday – and there is no set work from the teachers, but because these are such strange days, and people might be missing contact, I thought we’d still say good morning!  I will be setting a ‘Thunk’ of the day each day and sharing a song!

The children are used to thinking and talking about ‘Thunks’ – but here is a little explanation and the rules that go with them:-

  • Thunks are thought provoking statement, questions or pictures, that we have a moment to consider and ponder before responding.
  • There are no wrong or right answers.
  • We have to provide a reason or explanation for our response.
  • We listen and respond respectfully.

Here is the THUNK of the day for today!

If you wish to share your ponderings about this THUNK, then please email them to admin@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk and I will share!

Here’s a little Easter song as we approach the Easter weekend!

Friday Update

Thank you for the pictures of your work you sent in today. I’ve got quite a few letters for the care home – which I will pass on to Miss Relph, who will email them over. If you’ve still got a letter you wish to share, you can email them to the class 4 email address (class4@brownclee.shropshires.sch.uk) and I can pass them on.

.

and here’s the most value players from each house:

 

 

Here’s some of your work from today:

 

Whilst I won’t be putting work on the website over the next two weeks (it’s the Easter holidays), if you still want to share any photos or videos of what you’ve been up to over the break, then email them to me and I can post them on the website for everyone else to see after the 2 weeks.

 

If you do start getting a bit bored over the break, remember, Rob Biddulph does his ‘draw-along’s every Tuesday and Thursday – http://www.robbiddulph.com/draw-with-rob – and there’s always Spelling Shed, TTRS and ReadTheory to keep you busy!

 

Have a good 2 weeks “off”, keep safe and I hope to see you all soon!

Goodbye Australia!

We have reached the end of the Spring Term and so the end of our topic on Australia. I hope you have enjoyed learning about this country.

To finish off the topic my sister, Gemma, who lives in New South Wales, has sent you some information about everyday life there. When she sent us the box of goodies for our cake sake, she also sent you some pencils, which I’ll give to you when we return to school.  If you want to ask Gemma anything about living in Australia, let me know and I’ll pass your question on to her.

Everyday Australia

Another mistake!!

Apologies, there’s (another!!) mistake in today’s answers for yesterday’s questions…

Here’s the correct answers for the blue problems of the day:

1.8kg was the mass of a sphere and not the mass of a cube – I really should make sure I read the question properly!
