Mathletics Results
We have come to the end of the first block of our fractions topic in maths and what better way to celebrate than with cake? We cut the cake into equal pieces and showed equivalent fractions in our pairs. And of course we ate the cake after! 🙂
In Art we have used inspiration from Marc Chagall and our learning about World War 2 to create our own skylines of the Blitz. We used vibrant watercolours in the background then made the silhouette using oil pastels.

Lyrics to follow along:
It was wonderful this morning to celebrate Mass in our church with Father David, parents, carers and parishioners. The children who took part with readings, prayers and poetry were confident, thoughtful and precise and, as for the singing, it was glorious, powerful and brought joy to our hearts.
Year 5 prepared a wonderful liturgy to remember the last supper. They were natural performers and marked the occasion beautifully. They should be very proud!
This week is the 30th Anniversary of British Science Week, so the theme this year is Time!
We got off to a super start this morning with our Science Ambassadors leading a whole school assembly. We began with learnig a little about our Science saint – At. Albert the Great, and read a prayer that last year’s ambassadors wrote. They shared the theme and lots of links to our own lifes and science that we can make with science. They launched the Poster competition and ran the lunch-time ‘Gadget Shop’ which will run Mon-Thursday this week, until all stock is sold. Prices range from 50p to £2. Itemised lists with prices are posted around the school.

We’ve had a wonderful but very busy day at BRW. We welcomed Bemma Akyeampong, author of the Ayuda stories – set in Guinea-Bissau, all about a sea turtle’s adventures and struggles against pollution. She retold her stories to all the children and they had chance to think about what they could do to look after our wonderful world.
We also had the introduction of our wonderful new furniture to spruce up our reading corners in every classroom. This will really help to promote the joy of reading, learning new vocabulary and being inspired to be authors ourselves.
As the photographs show, the reading cafe was immensely popular and the cakes didn’t last long! Thank you everyone for attending and for the cake donations.
