Rambling through Rushcliffe!
We had a great time at Rushcliffe Country Park. We spotted different water birds in the lake, explored the woodland gathering natural objects to bring back to school and used our senses to explore the Sensory and Music area.
What is World Maths Day?
World Maths Day (8 March 2023) is a global celebration of mathematics where millions of students aged 5 to 18 across the world compete in Live Mathletics challenges.
What do YOU have to do?
On the day, log in, click the ‘World Maths Day’ button and play as much Live Mathletics as you can to get on the leadership board, which will be displayed on this screen!
To prepare for World Maths Day this year, Evan did 30 minutes of Live Mathletics practice each day about one and half weeks before the event.
He came first out of over 1 million children who logged in!
Ash Wednesday Mass is fast approaching and we are so excited for the children to showcase their singing skills at Corpus Christi!
Please find the songs we will be singing during Mass linked below.
Practise the songs at home so you are ready to sing with gusto and passion!
Thank you.
Merry Christmas to all of the BRW Community…
Have a very happy and holy Christmas!
YEAR 6 CAROLS AROUND THE TREE
Our focus this term in music has been to practice our harmony skills. We have worked towards a poignant carol that we finally performed at Carols Around the Tree last week. Listen carefully and see if you can hear when the harmony kicks in!
It was a challenge not to be put off by the other half, but we performed brilliantly on the night!
Hello Year 5, below is the lyrics and song to our Carols Around the Tree celebration… Elton John – Step into Christmas.
Ensure you know all of the words, ready to perform on Thursday 15th December.
Congratulations to Year Two who blew their audiences away with an outstanding performance of ‘Away in a manger’.
Their comic timing, enthusiasm and beautiful singing brought real joy to their audience – well done Year Two! You are all superstars!
Stanley the dog returned to listen to more stories and poems, and, of course, he was VERY WELL looked after. The children gave him so many strokes and cuddles, took him for walks outside and made him lots of drawings of himself!
CAROLS AROUND THE TREE
Our ‘Carols Around the Tree’ event is back! Here are your Year 6 songs to learn – we get to sing two songs. Keep it hush hush so the performance is a brilliant surprise! And you have your own copy of the lyrics! Make sure you know them off-by-heart!

MOUNT COOK MADNESS!
Years 5 and 6 braved the wind and rain last week to conquer Mount Cook, an adventure site that offered plenty of opportunities to go outside of their comfort zones, grow as individuals, stand firm and show BRW Spirit!
Though the heavens opened for most of the day, Years 5 and 6 remained resilient and positive throughout, with many conquering their fears when climbing to the top of high-ropes, jumping from the platform and map reading when orienteering!
