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).
P.E. – Scorpions – Next week
Next week, P.E. will be on Monday (first day back) and Wednesday.
Also, a reminder for those attending Tuesday’s tag rugby, the letters given out before Easter need to be returned on Monday.
Dragon Heads – Art
After a few weeks working on these, Year 5 and 6 finished their dragon heads this week.
The process involved first shaping chicken wire. Then, layering and shaping plaster of Paris to the desired form.
We then used a variety of different techniques to create texture through scales and colour.
And finally, here are the end pieces:
Dragon Eyes – Rory McCann Artist
Rory, the artist who painted the mural at the front of the school, spent some time with Year 5 and 6 painting some dragon eyes. Check out their work below:
Viking Experience Day
Today, Year 5 and 6 had a Viking experience day – where they were able to look and explore some Viking and Anglo Saxon-type pieces of equipment and clothing.
Check out some photos of the day below:

Outdoor Shared Reading – Fireflies and Scorpions
With the weather being so great, Scorpions and Fireflies shared their reading outside this week.
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).
Dragon Heads – Art
Year 5 and 6 have been looking at some creating some early sketches of dragon heads before they begin making their own dragon head sculptures.
Scorpions – P.E
P.E. this week will be on Thursday and Friday – and not the usual Tuesday and Thursday.
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!
Scorpions & Fireflies – Shared Reading
Every Thursday, Scorpions and Fireflies spend some time together sharing some reading. Here are some pictures of their first session of this half term from yesterday:
Scorpions – D.T. – Viking Longhouse
In D.T. this half term, Year 5 and 6 have been looking at creating their own Viking longhouses in small groups.
After exploring the typical structural framework used by the Vikings, each group were given a collection of materials and tools to design and then make their own prototype versions.
Check out some of the early stages of this below:
TAG RUGBY POSTPONED
Unfortunately, following a pitch inspection at Swancote, today’s tag rugby event has been postponed due to the condition of the pitches following the heavy rainfall.
It will now take place on Tuesday 26th April.
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.
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.
