First Week of Home Learning

Well done everyone for completing your first week of home learning!

It has been lovely to hear from so many of you this week. It has been great to be able to share what everyone has been up to. The weather has been beautiful this week, fingers crossed it will be as nice next week and everyone can continue to enjoy their learning outdoors.

 

Here are a few more photos that I was sent yesterday that I am sure you will enjoy! There has been lots of maths, dancing, identifying leaves and even learning about camouflage.

 

Don’t forget to check the website Monday morning for our new daily learning activities! Enjoy the weekend!

Shropshire Music and Class 4’s Folkwhistle learning

We thought we’d share what Class 4 have been doing during their music lessons with Shropshire Music Service. For this last term they all had a folk whistle which they could take home to practice, and had a weekly lesson learning the notes and fingerling, how to read music and learning to play as an ensemble. This is what they have achieved! Well done a class 4 (and Mr Harley and Mr Smith who also learnt alongside the children!).

A ‘Thank you message’ from Wild2Free

I have had an email from Rae Harvey at Wild2Free thanking us for our donation, which will help the kangaroos. It sounds like your efforts are much appreciated, so well done!

Sending a Hug.

Yesterday, Teddy, Archie and their mum walked 2.5 miles up the Brown Clee Hill to send a hug in the form of a helium filled heart balloon. Their balloon travelled 28 miles!

What a lovely idea in such difficult times! Here is a photo of Teddy with his ‘hug.’

Damper Recipe

Joel, Sam and Zac have been making Damper, a traditional Australian bread. Here’s the recipe from Joel’s mum if you want to give it a go!

Hive Game – Class 3 & 4

There will be 4 separate games (each getting slightly harder) at four separate times.

Game 1 (slightly easier) – 1:30pm – Y3/4 spelling words (MEDIUM)
Game 2 (slightly harder) – 1:35pm – Y3/4 spelling words (EXTREME)
Game 3 (hard) – 1:40pm – Y5/6 spelling words (MEDIUM)
Game 3 (v.hard) – 1:45pm – Y5/6 spelling words (MEDIUM)

 

To join these you have to first access the hive game option:

Then, enter the correct code into the box:

 

 

 

You can join more than one game if you wish. Just make sure you’re at the waiting screen ready for the time the game will start,

 

If you wish to play the second game, just end the game (after it has finished) and enter the code for second hive game and wait for that one to begin.

 

After each round, it will show the top 3 scores for that round and then the top 3 scores overall. After all three games have finished, I will post the top 3 scores from each game on the school website. Good luck!

 

Hugs from Brown Clee!

What a lovely idea! Archie went for a walk up Brown Clee Hill yesterday and let a helium balloon go, sending hugs out during lockdown!

Running Challenge update – 27.3.20

Joel, Archie B, William H, Isabelle J, Lexi and Archie R have taken 9.5 miles off our total. A brilliant effort by you all, well done!

Keep an eye open for Class 4 – who should be on there at around 15:40!

Morning Workout!

Well I have survived! Not sure the dogs were impressed to start with, but Sally wanted to join in after a while! Hope you all enjoyed your work out too….please share any photos by emailing them to your class teacher!

Good Morning Brown Clee!

Well day 5 of remote teaching and learning! We are missing you all, but the photos you send in are fantastic….we really look forwards to receiving them, so thank you!

A big thank you too for being so supportive and engaged with the learning that the teachers are setting! There is a treat in store today…a virtual guided tour of Chester Zoo! If you go to Class 1 or 2’s class news you’ll find the link!

I’m just getting ready to join Joe Wickes on his workout…so will be thinking of all the photos of everyone joining in through the week to motivate me!

Have a good weekend and stay safe!

More Lovely Work.

Hello everyone!

Thank you again for sending in all your lovely photos! I am so impressed with all the fantastic things you have been doing.

I have really enjoyed guessing the mini beast descriptions that were sent to me. I haven’t found out if I was right yet!

Here are some more pictures of your friends so you can see what they have been up to.

 

Extra activities

It is brilliant to see pictures of some of the other activities that children have been doing as well as the work set – you are fantastic Class 3!

Class 3 fitness

Well done again Class 3! You are really doing well keeping yourselves active and fit. We had another 18 miles covered today and now are down below 400.

396 miles left to go!! Let’s keep going and see if we can make it. If you aren’t already running or walking each day and sending in your distances see if you can make a start from now. Join us in making it to our finish line!
