We know sometimes children come home from school and, when asked what they’ve been doing at school, answer, “Nothing” or “Just played”!
Here is the evidence of how busy they have been, developing their language, learning how to play kindly with each other, building up their muscles, investigating, practising counting, reading, writing and so much more, whilst, just playing!
Last week we had to fight our way along an overgrown path, but this week we took another route and a pair of secateurs! Both weeks, we have been successful in our quest for ladybirds and butterflies. The children have learned facts about these insects, spotted them in the woods, found out what their names are and recorded their finds. They have also played kindly together and challenged themselves to climb trees. Can’t wait until next week!
Pirate Day was a roaring success! The children (and staff!) looked amazing and loved all the pirate-themed activities. These included: walking the plank; sharing treasure; making maps; making hats and parrots; singing sea shanties; taking part in scavenger hunts and much more.
The first half of the summer term is over already! We have enjoyed so much already: a Resurrection Liturgy, a Music Evening, Sports Days, Ascension Mass and our First Holy Communion Liturgy!
What’s more, our Year 2s and Year 6s have worked extremely hard preparing for and sitting their National Assessments!
Thank to the hard work of our pupils, staff and parent support in keeping our BRW Spirit Strong this half-term! We’re excited for the next half-term of the summer!
FS had a great time at Forest School this week. They collected natural objects to create their very own Wild Thing, using clay. They also acted out the story in the woods. We heard lots of ‘terrible roars,’ and saw their ‘terrible teeth in their terrible jaws!’ Watch out for wandering Wild Things next time you’re at the woods…..
We have had a very exciting day in FS celebrating King Charles’ Coronation. We’ve made crowns, decorated party plates, listened to stories, ate some delicious party food and even had a boogie in the sunshine! As they children said, “It’s the best day EVER!”
Foundation Stage have had a wonderful morning at Forest School. They became ‘Wild Things,’ creating their own crowns and perfecting their wild roars!! Watch out for them next time your in the woods…
This year, the British Science Week theme was connections! To celebrate this, and to give our creative, imaginative and incredible children a challenge, we ran a Marble Run competition. True to form, they didn’t disappoint!
Everyone has really enjoyed all the photos and videos that have been emailed in. We have been wowed with all the amazing creations – not to mention your filming skills!
Thank you for all the stupendous entries. Our winner was Alexander, who managed the longest entry at well over 4 metres (so many twists and turns it could be double that!) Congratulations to all, you should feel very proud!
The children have had a fantastic morning in the woods. They have been using natural objects to create dinosaurs inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. We had, a triceratops, a T-Rex, a diplodocus and even a pterodactyl!
Welcome back!
Over the Easter holidays, we celebrated the most important celebration within our faith, the resurrection of Jesus! We celebrate the season of Easter by using a word we don’t use during Lent – Alleluia! The word simply means ‘praise the lord’ and it’s a reminder that at this time of year we should be rejoicing and celebrating that Jesus is risen. This week, think about what makes you want to celebrate and think about how you can show the world the joy of the resurrection.
