Happy Half Term
As a staff team we have had a wonderful, positive and rewarding half term, teaching and learning with your children. We do truly have the best vocation.
Thank you on behalf of all the staff for adapting to the new normal and supporting your children with attending school.
We all hope you have a lovely fun-filled holiday, and we look forward to welcoming all the children back on Monday 2nd November.

Purposeful Persuasive Writing
Over the last two weeks Class 3 have been learning to use persuasive writing techniques.
We began by investigating persuasive text examples, identifying features and language use. We then moved onto working in small groups to create a shared piece of persuasive writing.
Last Monday, I challenged the class to independently write a persuasive argument that school uniform should be banned in schools. Well, the children’s writing was brilliant! They each created a formal persuasive text, clearly setting out their own arguments with reasons. To celebrate their persuasive writing success Class 3 had their very own ‘Own Clothes Day’ on Friday.
Black History Projects
Class 3 were set the task of researching and exploring Black history, heritage, culture and achievements to create their own project and share with their class. We were so impressed by the effort, creativity and new knowledge the children shared today when they presented their projects. There was a real variety of projects from Walter Tull and Mae Jemison to Jimmy Hendrix.
Just take a look at some of the wonderful pieces of learning below.
Harvest Donations
Thank you for your generous Harvest donations, the School Council organised these into types of food and delivered them to the Clun Community Food Bank this week.
Extended Schools Clubs
If you haven’t already done so, please can you email Helen on admin@clun.shropshire.sch.uk or return the form to the office with your child’s requirements for extended schools clubs for the next half term.
There are 16 set places for both breakfast and after school club. Families will need to book in advance their child/children’s place in the club for the half term period. We will allocate places in the order that they are received.
Many thanks.
Shrewsbury Museum Came to Clun
Today the children had a workshop all about the Romans. In the workshop, they were taught so many interesting facts about the Romans. Ask your child today what they can tell you about the Romans!
The Magical Museum Suitcase
The Magical Museum Suitcase
This week, Class One took part in an exciting workshop based on traditional rhymes. The children used their imaginations, opening a box to encourage oral story telling and then discovered the wonders lurking inside the special museum suitcase. There were objects linked to Polly Put the Kettle on, Walking in the Forest, I am the Music Man and Wee Willie Winkie. The children really enjoyed using their story sticks as props and to create story music.
