Class 1 School Trip

 

A letter has gone out tonight with your child, regarding a school trip for Class1. We are due to go to a nature reserve in Ellesmere to learn more about Charles Darwin. We will also be going on a mini- beast hunt in the woods.

In the afternoon we are going on a trailer ride to a nearby recycling centre where we can see what happens to the recyclable materials we put in our recycle boxes.

We have asked for permission slips and voluntary contributions to be returned by Wednesday 11th March at the latest.

Many thanks

Bridgnorth Boxing CLub

We had a visit from Sean Powell, who runs Bridgnorth Boxing Club.  He talked to all the children about his club and then gave a short boxing demo. He is going to hold a free taster session for KS2 children in a few weeks and then be providing an After-School Club in the summer term for children in Class 3 and 4.  Watch out for letters from Mrs Moreton, our Extended Schools Co-Ordinator!

If children are interested the Bridgnorth Boxing Club runs sessions for children from 5-11 years old on Friday evenings in Bridgnorth.

Year 1 Spelling Shed League

We have set up all Year 1 children on a Spelling Shed League.  Everytime they play the game set up called YEAR 1 AND YEAR 2 KS1 FULL LIST they will win points.  All children start as Eggs, and as they earn more points they progress up through Larva, Drone, Worker Bee, Soldier Bee and eventually achieve Royal Bee!  Each time they move up a level they will earn a house point and receive a certificate to celebrate the achievement!

   

 

 

 

 

Please help encourage your child to access Spelling Shed at home – just 5 minutes a day will make a big difference!

Weather Watch: Wed 26th February

There is the potential for snow overnight, so we advise listening to Radio Shropshire in the morning just in case there is a decision to delay the start of the school day or close the school.  This is a decision that is never taken lightly, but we do have to consider the safety of everyone trying to get to school, particularly considering the geographical location of Ditton Priors and the local area.

Running Challenge

Our challenge to run the distance from Canberra to Sydney and back is going well. We have run 171 miles so we are 7 miles short of Sydney! Well done Class 2, a great team effort.

Australia so far!

 

Class 2 are half way through their work on Australia and have been so enthusiastic. They have covered lots of history and geography and produced some lovely artwork. We are looking forward to exploring the topic through our Science work after half term.

Thunk of the Week!

We have introduced ‘Thunks’ to the school to help develop deeper thinking and analysis skills.  Click here to find out more.

To promote ‘THUNKs’ we have a ‘Thunk of the Week’ which is shared on a giantblackboard, which will sit outside Reception.  Parents and children are welcome to contribute with their own thoughts.  These are the Thunk rules:-

  1. There are no wrong or right answers.
  2. You have to provide an explanation.
  3. We respond respectfully.

We will share our thoughts at the end of each week and there will be a new one each Monday. Happy Thunking!

World Book Day

For World Book Day this year we are focusing on the story ‘The Huge Bag of Worries’ as a whole school.

Reading and sharing stories and books is an important part of life at Brown Clee School. With this in mind we have decided not to dress up this year.

During the day we have an author coming to talk to Key Stage One, we will be taking part in activities inspired by our chosen book and we will be sharing the fruit and vegetable characters the children have made at home.

The Very Lonely Firefly Display.

Class 1 have been reading ‘The Very Lonely Firefly’ by Eric Carle. They have drawn a picture about their favourite part of the story. They have then written a sentence from the story to go with their picture. We have used their work to create this fantastic display!

Ex Pupils Visit – Sporting Achievement

We had a visit from Jess and Niamh, who are both in Year 8 at Bridgnorth Endowed School, who came to talk to Class 3 and 4 about sporting opportunities available at Bridgnorth Endowed School (curriculum and extra-curricular) but also about their achievements in local sporting clubs.

Niamh is a Shropshire County netball player, amongst other sporting achievements, and is looking forwards to a netball team trip to Italy in the near future, and Jess was scouted for Bridgnorth Girls’ Football team.  We are very proud of their achievements and hopefully they will have inspired some of our pupils to have a go at some different sports out of school, and show them what they can achieve if they put their minds and best efforts to play.  Thanks you Jess and Niamh for coming back and sharing your successes with us!

Thought for today!

Today we have started to share this book with the children…all about a Boy who met a Mole, then a Fox and a Horse. We are using the beautiful pages as thought provoking discussions.

 

 

 

 

Today’s thought was the first page…

How We Can Look After The World.

Class 1 have been learning about ways we can help to look after the world we live in. We have learnt about the impact of rubbish on the environment and have been on a litter pick around the school grounds. We have also had a lady from Veolia in to talk to us about the importance of recycling and to explain what happens to the things we recycle.
Another issue we have been discussing is plastic pollution and the affect this has on the oceans and wildlife.
The children have been creating posters to emphasise the importance of recycling and highlight the issue of plastic pollution.

The Very Lonely Firefly

One of our class books this term is ‘The Very Lonely Firefly.’ Some of the children in Class 1 have made up their own talk for writing version of the story which they performed to the rest of the class. This will help them to write their own version of the story.

Cough Lozenges/Sweets

We are aware that there are a lot of bugs involving coughs and sore throats around at the moment, but would like to remind parents that if they wish their child to have any medication, it needs to be handed in at reception and the appropriate paperwork completed.  This also includes cough lozenges which have specific dosages.

With regards to cough sweets, such as Soothers etc, we would kindly request that these are not sent in with children.
