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….
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! 🙂
Here are the songs you’re going to need to learn for our assembly this term….
Louis Armstrong – What a Wonderful World
Henry VIII Wives Song
Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed the KS2 Sports Day this year. They showed resilience, determination and grit; never giving up and supporting their team! Well done to the house of Matthew for winning this year’s Sports Day.

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 6 are busy preparing for their National Assessments in a couple of weeks. Today, they have revised prepositions using Playdough! They had to work in teams to use as many prepositions in a sentence as possible and represent it with playdough – there were 49 in total! Our winning groups found 38 in total. Take a look at our creative way of revising SPaG this week…
On the last day of term, Year Six performed a powerful and emotive presentation of ‘The Crucifixion’.
Retelling the most important story in the world, they used song, prayer and dance to lead us through the final stages of Jesus’s life.
Year Six, we are so proud of your hard-work. Your performance will be one to remember for a long time to come…

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.
