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!
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…
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.
A warm welcome back to our pupils and families at the start of the Summer Term!
We began our Summer Term with our Spring Achiever of the Term celebration assembly. We were so busy with a memorable Holy Week that we ran out of time to celebrate at the end olast term.
Congratulations to our more-than-deserving Achievers. Your adults can see some common qualities among you: hard-work, smiles, resilience and a thirst for knowledge. Keep up the good work!
In addition, we had several pupils who earned their 100% attendance pencil and sweets for being in school for 100% of the Spring Term! What a feat!
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!
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!
ANTI-BULLYING WEEK 2022
What a week! Year 6 have embraced Anti-Bullying week this week. We have been learning specifically about Cyber-Bullying: what it is, how to identify it, and what to do if we experience or witness it. We have some effective strategies now in order to stay safe and happy online in our Digital World.
On top of this, we have been led beautifully by our Hosue Captains, who have reminded us of our BRW spirit by sharing the STOP acronym: Bullying is emotional or physical harm caused by the perpetrator ‘Several Times On Purpose’ and if we know it’s happening, we must ‘Start Telling Other People’. Thank you House Captains!
KS2 Advent Sing-Along!
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 1st December, 5.30pm performance one to remember. It has been a long time since we have been able to celebrate together! #BRWSpiritStrong
