Mathematical Problem Solving

Scorpions enjoyed solving a mathematical problem on Friday. There was lots of excellent discussion and mathematical talk about how to go about solving the problem, made even more exciting by representing the problem using marshmallows! It was fantastic to see the children so engaged and focussed on finding a solution.

Scorpions Forest School

The weather was not very kind to us today but Scorpions still had a great morning at forest school creating ‘Dragon Eyes’ from natural materials. The children began in groups collecting items that they could use in their designs. They then thought about how they could use the things they collected for the different parts and colours of Dragon Eyes.  The end results were amazing! Well done Scorpions!

Summer Choir Concert – ’25

Several children in KS2 took part in a mixed choir concert at the Village Hall this term. They joined “Of One Accord” and “Brown Clee Community Choir” to perform a series of different songs. We even had two brillaint performances by Sam R on the cornet – alongside Zac accompanying him on the piano for one of these.

The singing on show was spectacular, and we are hoping for another joint choir performance around Christmas time – where we would love to take an even bigger contingent of pupils for the next performance.

VE Day – 80th Anniversary

This year, we celebrated the 80th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe Day).

 

As well as children coming to school in red, white and blue in celebration of the day, the whole school had a special assembly about VE Day and some specific information about WW2 in Ditton Priors and the local area researched, created and led by Josh, Archie and Benji – with the help from Ari on the computer.

 

A big thank you to Tony Brown, from the Royal British Legion, for his help and support to the boys in preaparing their assembly.

Orienteering – Comer Woods – ’25

Three teams took part in an East Shropshire orienteering competition at Comer Woods earlier in the term – with two of our teams qualifying for the East and Shropshire finals (which will take place at Cardingmill Valley this half term). The afternoon involved various different orienteering-based activities and the competition – which was a timed event across the site.

 

The team of Emily, Zac, Penny and Jake did particularly well – finishing in a very respectable 2nd place!

School Games – ’25 County Finals – Tag Rugby

Following our Y5/6 tag rugby qualification  as small schools’ winners in East Shropshire , our Y5/6 tag rugby team were East Shropshire’s representatives in the Shropshire School Games Finals (for an impressive sixth year in a row!).

The whole team showed unbelievable teamwork, grit and sense of togetherness throughout the whole competition – and we are incredibly proud of not only the way they performed, but their fantastic sporting values they demonstrated throughout.

 

After the competition, the children were able to try out a range of different activities.

FOBCS Easter Egg Photo Challenge

On the last of term, the whole school took part in a photo search challenge. 30 different images of animals were hidden around the school grounds.

 

Children were put into mixed groups of 5s and given an initial starting number and had to find which animal was located there. Once they’d found it, they wrote it and down, had it checked and were given another. The challenge was to find 10 animals in the allocated time to win an Easter egg.

 

All the teams worked fantastically well together – and it was a wonderful way for us to all round off a brilliant Spring term .

 

Congratulations to Lexi – who correctly guessed the name of the Easter bunny: “Piglet”.

 

A big thank you to FOBCS for donating all of the Easter eggs and the Easter Hamper.

Arthog ’24 – Update

With Arthog fast approaching (2 weeks time!), here are some more updates ahead of the week.

 

Please ensure you have filled in a medical form if your child requires any medication: Medical Letter. If these could be sent ahead of the actual day, it will make things a lot easier for us. Medicines can be brought in on the Monday.

 

Here is the suggested Athog kit list again.

Children can bring up to £10 to spend at the Arthog shop. If possible, please can this be in change (i.e. £5 and coins) as there is limited change on site if everyone brings £10 notes.

Please note, as per the Kit List, pupils will need to bring a bottom sheet (single), duvet cover (single) and a pillow case. It would also be great if pupils could be familiar with how to “make a bed” (if they don’t already) as this will be their responsibilty upon arrival.

 

On Monday 25th November, we will be leaving as close to 09:00 as possible. So, if possible, please can children arrive at 08:30am. They will need to go straight in through the main reception to drop off their main luggage. Children will need to bring a small bag (rucksack) – which they can take onto the bus with them. In this bag, they should have a packed lunch and a water bottle (and a coat would be avisable!). They will not be able to access their main luggage until we arrive at Arthog – which will be around 11:00am.

 

We will try to keep you updated with things as much as possible via the school website/Facebook; however, this is not always possible regularly due to the very busy schedule!

 

On Friday 29th November, we will be arriving back at school for around 4:45pm.

 

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Arthog ’24 – Update

Just a quick update ahead of our trip to Arthog next half-term.

 

Here is the suggested Athog kit list again. As an addition, Arthog do not allow aerosols – including pressurised deoderants, sun block and bug spray. However, liquid sprays in plastic containers are fine.

If your child requires any medication during Arthog, please fill in the following form: Medical Letter.

 

As we will be leaving school at 09:00 on Monday 25th November, it would make things a lot easier if all children can arrive at school for 08:30 as this give us time to fully ensure we are ready to leave.

 

As a head’s up, we will likely be returning to school on Friday 29th November after the school day, so arrangements for picking up will be need to be made.

 

More specific details, such as pick-up timings on the Friday, will be sent out nearer the actual date. In the mean time, if anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate in getting in touch.

Mr. Harley will be teaching Scorpions on Mondays (as well as P.E. with Year 5/6 on Tuesdays and Thursdays).

Bikeability – this week

Just a quick reminder that Bikeability will be happening this week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for Year 5/6.

 

They will need their bikes and helmets in school for all three of these days. If you would like their bikes to stay in school during this time, we can store them overnight in school.
