We are very proud of all the children who took part in our wonderful show today. They showcased drumfit, poetry, songs, dough disco and were amazing with their confidence, loud voices and musical talent.  Thank you to everyone who bought tickets to help us raise money for new musical instruments.

Years 4, 5 and 6, welcome to the ‘Advent Rehearsal’ blog! Click on each song and start singing! Try it without your lyrics in front of you when you’re ready. Sing so much and so passionately that even your family know the songs! Let’s make our Thursday 5th December, 5.30pm performance one to remember! #BRWSpiritStrong

Year 3 spent some time exploring playscripts and their layout in order to identify key features. What better way to do that then to actually perform one?

Working in groups, they organised themselves into different roles and then used the stage directions to ensure actions and dialogue were accurate.

They were then able to use these features in their own plays, a ‘Revolting Rhymes’ style version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Some fantastic playscripts were produced because they worked so well together. Great work Year 3!

The children loved visiting the Greens Windmill on Friday. They were excellent when climbing up and down the steep stairs, growing in confidence with each step! They learned how flour is made and couldn’t wait to have a go on the grinder. They used their super ‘Hulk Smash,’ skills when kneading the dough to make bread roll shapes – they told us they couldn’t wait to try it when they get home! They also explored the science museum where they tested magnets, tested their strength and even found some funny looking mirrors. What a great morning Foundation Stage.

The children were amazing at the Windmill. They had so much energy and confidence climbing up and down four flights of steps! They learned about how the Miller turns the grain into flour for our bread. They kneaded the bread to make different-shaped bread rolls – we hope they shared these with their families! They also had chance to explore all the scientific and mathematical exhibits – look out for some funny photographs of the mirrors!

Year 6 visited Sherwood Pines last week for their class visit. In the morning, they conquered their fears by completing Go Ape activities. They showed resilience, bravery and courage as they walked through the towering trees, and even had a go on the zip-line! In the afternoon, they completed Gorilla Games, where they had to develop their communication skills and work together as a team to win games. They had so much fun and created some wonderful memories to cherish in their final year at BRW. Take a look at some of the photos….

Today the Rainbow Fish made delicious jam sandwiches. We used our fine motor skills to spread the butter and jam carefully. We used some ‘bossy’ words when talking about what we did to make them. But the best part … getting to eat them! Yum!

Year 6 performed a brilliant class assembly this morning, reflecting on everything they’ve learnt in the last 6 weeks! Their theme for this term is ‘Is Our World Always as it Seems?’, exploring how propaganda has been used throughout history and how it impacted people’s beliefs. Linking their learning, they’ve also learnt about the artist Marc Chagall, layering WW2 music and in Science, how electricity was used to make search lights. They really were TRIPLE THREATS today – singing, acting and dancing! They should be extremely proud of their incredible performance. Well done! 🙂

Year 3 are enjoying learning about Rocks! We have spent some time making close observational drawings of them and looking at different type of rock features. We have also started a good collection of our own in the classroom. Rock on Year 3!
