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!

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.

Swimming

Our last swimming session for this term will be on Tuesday 7th December.

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.

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

Waterbottles and Waterproof Coats

We have had a number of accidents with open top waterbottles so can we please remind parents to ensure children bring a non-drip waterbottle to school.

Waterbottles are often kept on class tables, and when an open top bottle gets knocked – the water floods the tables and can damage children’s work.

Can we also please remind parents to send their child with a warm waterproof coat EVERY day – as we will get children outside at breaktimes as much as possible – even in wet weather, as they need the ‘downtime’ and fresh air.

Nineteen Brown Clee children from KS2 took part in a cross country competition yesterday at Albrighton Primary School. Despite the high temperature, they all battled well, finishing in some really impressive positions.

The Year 3 and Year 4 races were around three quarters of a mile – whilst the Year 5 and 6 races were about 1 mile.

Here are some picture of the runners in action

Next week’s event is at Oldbury Well School.
