There is just one space available, and it will be offered on a first come first served basis.

Tag Rugby Success
Today, 24 pupils from KS2 took part in a tag rugby competition at Swancote (Bridgnorth Rugby Club) – making up three teams competing.
All the children showed fantastic focus, determination and teamwork throughout the whole competition.
Our C team finished in joint third position in the plate (second competition) – with our B team winning this competition. Our A team were undefeated throughout and eventually went on to become the overall main competition winners!
Brown Clee were also one of two teams voted by the sports leaders officiating the event as “consistently demonstrating the sporting value of Respect” throughout the competition – something which, alongside their impressive finishing positions, all the teams should be additionally proud of achieving
.
As the overall winners of the East Shropshire Tag Rugby Competition, the A team will have the opportunity to represent East Shropshire in the Summer Games (date to be confirmed).
After School Clubs
Thank you to all parents for engaging with us following on from the e-mails sent out yesterday.
All After School Clubs are now fully booked.
We are currently working with Parent Pay in the hope that in the very near future all bookings will be able to be made via their platform. We understand that this would make things a little easier for everyone and thank you for your patience while this is being investigated.
Science in Dragonflies
This afternoon we have been observing and studying rocks as part of our science work. We have looked at chalk, limestone and basalt. We have recorded our findings.

Running Challenge – Spring Term
Here’s an update on each class’s running challenges for this term.
Fireflies
Fireflies are attempting to run the distance from Ditton Priors to Shrewsbury (the birthplace of Charles Darwin) – 22.3 miles – as many times as they can.
Grasshoppers
Grasshoppers are attempting to run the distance of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (in Australia) – 1,149 metres – as many times as they can.
Dragonflies
Dragonflies are attempting to run the length of the Shropshire border – 497km.
Scorpions
Scorpions are attempting to run the distance from Nordland (in Norway) to Lindisfarne (the first known Viking raid of a monastery in England) and back – ~2,000 miles.
Girls’ Football – BES
Last Thursday, 18 girls from Years 3-6 took part in a recent girls’ football at Bridgnorth Endowed School.
All the girls showed a fantastic level of commitment, determination and teamwork throughout. The teams’ performances were particularly impressive given the number of Year 3s and 4s we had taking part in a Year 5/6 competition- and our unfortunately diminished team sizes (with 2 teams having to play with only 6 players against 7).
ESSP Swimming Gala – William Brookes
Ten Pupils from Scorpions and Fireflies took part in the East Shropshire Sports Partnership swimming gala at William Brookes School this Thursday.
All the swimmers showed fantastic determination, team-spiritedness and confidence in helping Team Brown Clee to eventually finish in an incredible second place overall – an especially impressive feat given the small size of our school!

Football After School Club 18/2/22
I have been asked by several parents if there is football after school club running this week as apparently some children were told by the Activ Sports coach that last Friday was the last session. Football club IS on this Friday as normal.
Art in Dragonflies
We have been looking at the work of landscape artist William Heaton Cooper. We have learned about using one point perspective in our drawing and have used colour to add perspective to our paintings. We have learned that we can use lighter to darker shades to show perspective.
We laid our paintings out and had a critique session. We discussed the use of colour and shared our observations with each other.
Care Club Bookings After Half Term
Could I please ask that any Care Club booking requests for when we return after half term are made by noon on Thursday 17th February.
We return to school on Wednesday 2nd March and bookings for the first two weeks can be made.

Help us to be respectful and kind, and to make everyone welcome.
May our school be a happy, safe place – where learning is fun,
where we all work together to be the best we can be.
Amen

A recipe for friendship
Following today’s assembly, we created our own recipe for friendship……
Our Fitness Challenge
As part of our topic on Sensational Shropshire, we are attempting to run the length of the Shropshire border. The border of Shropshire is 497 km long….how many times can we run this distance over the term?
Happy New Year!
Happy new year Dragonflies! I hope that you had a super time with your families over the Christmas break and am looking forward to seeing you all back in school tomorrow!

Our P.E. days remain the same this term, so please come into school in your P.E kits on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Urban Biathlon
Last Thursday, 18 children from KS2 took part in an Urban Biathlon. This first started with an (approx) 1-mile mud run and ended with a 100m swim.
Check out the children in action below:
Care Club Bookings for Spring Term & After School Club Information
Can I please ask that all bookings required for Care Club for the first two weeks of the new Spring Term are e-mailed to me by Thursday 16th December latest. Please note that we return to school on Wednesday 5th January 2022
This week is the last week this term for after school clubs, there are no school clubs in the last week of Autumn term
Please also note that after school clubs will be re-starting on the week commencing 10/1/22
There are no clubs during the first week back at school in January
Swimming
Our last swimming session for this term will be on Tuesday 7th December.
Please Note: this is different to the original plan as we had to miss a session earlier in the term.
We have really enjoyed our sessions and we would like to thank the staff at the Leisure Centre in Ludlow for accommodating all of us!
The weather is getting colder!
We have the windows open in class to allow for sufficient ventilation.
Please don’t forget to wear layers e.g. a vest, t-shirt or sport skins under your school uniform so that you are not cold in class.
Scorpions – No Swimming tomorrow
Due to the current situation we think it advisable not to take the Scorpions (Year 5/6) children to the swimming session tomorrow. This is purely as a precautionary measure to minimise any risk. Dragonflies will be swimming.
Shared reading: Fireflies and Scorpions
Here are some photos from the latest shared reading session between Fireflies and Scorpions.
A note about swimming
Please wear PE kits on swimming days
On the original notice about swimming sessions at the beginning of term I had asked children to come in their school uniforms every Tuesday to go to the pool.
However, after discussion with Mr Harley we have decided that it would be better for children to come in their school PE kits.
Many thanks,
Mrs Heath
