Our class challenge

We have been making good progress with our challenge to run the length of the Shropshire county border.


So far we have travelled 161 km, we now have 336 km to go.

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!

This term our topic is Sensational Shropshire! Take a look at the page below to find out more about our learning:

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:

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.

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

Fun with French

Dragonflies have been having fun learning a French rhyme and using finger puppets that we made in our performance.

You can hear them performing the rhyme here:

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.

Albrighton Cross Country

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.
