The Tempest

Our Year 6 “returners” are excited to present their abridged version of Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

They have been studying Shakespeare and the Tempest in English this term. Using Live action filming and Green screen techniques, they have created this film as an impressive alternative to the usual end of year play.

We have uploaded it in two parts due to the time limits on You tube.

Enjoy!

Information for New Starters

It was lovely to meet all of our new children and parents last week.

As promised I have attached a presentation for parents with some additional information. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact myself or Mrs Derrer.

Parents’ Meeting 2020

I have also put together a short presentation for your children with photos of the adults that will be supporting them as well as some of our learning environment. I have recorded a short story video for them to watch as well to welcome them to Green Class.

We look forward to seeing you all again in September!

Purple Mash

As the weeks pass, we know lots of you are finding home learning harder. It is also  more difficult for us to be sure we are providing the right level of work for you when it is so long since we have seen many of you. We have been reviewing the different technological approaches to home learning used by schools around the county and different parts of the country. We have also listened to feedback from the families within our own school community. Access to devices, internet connection and printers varies from family to family and school to school; however, we would like to increase the opportunities for our Claverley children to interact with their school community.

Purple mash should provide a way for the children to communicate and share photos, voice messages and videos safely. Individual usernames and passwords have been sent out. It will continue to be useful in the new school year even if (as we hope) we are all together in school once more.

I have made a short screen-cast video to provide a short introduction to using Purple Mash. Enjoy!

Friday News

Another week draws to a close and we know that it is getting harder to keep motivated especially for our home learners. We are looking into ways to keep everyone going over these last few weeks of the summer term. Mrs Bernasconi has been teaching us how to record ourselves and information on a screen at the same time. Mrs Benson has recorded something for Blue Class to watch! Hopefully, we will be able to use Purple Mash to record more video clips for you over the coming weeks. I’m not sure that we are going to become TV presenters any time soon but we are trying to upskill ourselves and are having a go!

We had a nice surprise this week when a package was delivered from the Shropshire Bookfest organisers and it was the prize for Lilly. They had her winning picture framed along with a pencil set and a cash prize. Well done Lilly!

I hope you have a nice weekend whatever the weather!

Dear God,
Thank you for giving us to each other for friendship and support,
To share with and enjoy each other’s company.
May we always value each other
And always look for opportunities to improve the lives of those around us.
Amen.

Friday News

It is the end of another week in our social distancing school. The Reception, Year 1, Year 6 and Key Worker children are working well in their bubbles and have adapted to the new routines.

We heard the announcement that schools are not expected to open to wider year groups and this has left everyone feeling disappointed. Sadly, we don’t have the capacity to invite more children into the school at this time.

However, the teachers really did want all you home learners to know that we are thinking about you so we have put together a short clip! You won’t believe how long it took us to do it and Miss Pullinger has done some careful editing for us!

I am attaching the letter which was emailed out to parents too.

Letter for Parents 12th June

Have a good weekend.

Dear God,

Thank you for our wonderful school.

Thank you for our families and those who we care about.

Help us to look after each other.

Help us to be kind.

May we all find a way to continue our learning and be the best we can be.

Amen

To All our Home Learners

Hi to all our home learning children (some of you might need your parents to read this to you!),

I just wanted to update you on this week and say that we haven’t forgotten you! As part of the government guidance, some children have come back to school. We have had to make lots of plans ready including making sure that there is enough space between the tables and giving everyone their own resources. We have had to use a strict ‘keep left’ policy for the corridors too.

So, I think we have all experienced lots of different emotions this week. I expect you have had lots of different feelings while working and being at home too. We often talk about our feelings in school so I wonder if you might want to use this video and tell someone at home how you are feeling at home.

I am feeling happy that we have have a good week in school and have seen a few of our children. I am also a bit sad that we haven’t started the second part of the summer term seeing all of you. We know that keeping safe is the most important thing we can all do and that this plan is best for now. Keep going with your home learning!

I have also seen this song (Just Sing!) which some of you might like to learn too!

A prayer to share

Dear God,

Thank you for all the feelings we have and that it is good to talk to others about them.

It is fine to feel sad or scared sometimes

And it’s great to feel happy when we can.

Please help us control our bad feelings and not let them take over us.

Amen

Wider opening of the school on Monday 1st June

The staff and governors have worked hard to ensure the preparations for the wider reopening of the school can begin in a phased approach on Monday. There is a lot of information on this page which I am hoping you will find useful.
Monday 1st June and Tuesday 2nd June
School open for: Key Worker children, Year 6 at 8.45am and Year 1 at 9.00am.
Wednesday 3rd June and Thursday 4th June
School open for: Key Worker children, Year 6 at 8.45am and Reception children at 9.15am.

Please note that as there is strict guidance on the number of the bubbles, you must inform the school by 3pm on the Wednesday of the previous week if you are planning on sending your child back to school.

Please don’t forget to put sun cream on your child before they come to school and provide a hat – thank you.

I hope you have had a chance to look at some of the information sent out yesterday too!

We are looking forward to seeing you.

Coming back to school

Hi All,

There is a lot of talk in the news and we have shared our plans for a return to school and in preparation, I thought some of these clips might help our children. It would be great if you could play them with your child and stop them when you want to discuss something. They might be usedful!
