KS2 Performances

As you will all be aware, all of KS2 have two upcoming performances. With the afternoon performance on Wednesday, the performance will fit within normal school timings. The evening performance on Tuesday, however, begins at 6:00pm. To allow time to change into costumes, Children should arrive at school from 5:15pm and all should be at school by 5:30pm. If watching the performance, you can go into the hall ready for the performance once you have dropped your child off. If you are simply dropping your child off, the performance will be finished at around 7:15pm and children should be ready to be picked up again by 7:30pm.

If, for whatever reason your child may not be able attend the evening performance, please can you let us know as soon as possible – as we may be able to work together a plan.

This week, 24 pupils from across KS2 took part in an athletics competition at Oakengates. They took part in mixture of track and fields events across the day – including sprints, hurdles, long-distances races, relays, rounders ball throw, javelin, long jump and high jump. The children showed fantastic team-spirit and determination throughout the whole day.

 

We even had some pupils who made it to the podiums in their events:

Summer Holiday Activities

Our sports partnership has recently shared this information on activities available over the summer holidays.

 

Here is also some additional information from Shropshire Council on a wider range of activities available across Shropshire: HAF SUMMER 2022 – What’s On – including some information on some free places on holiday activities (Who Can Access the Free HAF Programme).

Tag Rugby – School Games

Following on from our success in the East Shropshire Tag Rugby competition, our winning team took part in the tag rugby county finals in this year’s Summer Games. Check out the team in action below:

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).
