This morning we received a letter and a thank you certificate from Diabetes UK.

They were very grateful and happy to receive our donation of £315 and our support.

We want to pass their thanks onto you because without all of our amazing BWJS children and parents, this money would not have been raised.

THANK YOU!

What a fantastic week we’ve had in Year 5! We’ve been busy learning new skills, trying creative projects, and even enjoying some French treats. Here’s what we got up to:

Maths – Tackling Long Multiplication

This week, we began learning long multiplication for the first time. We listened carefully to our teachers and followed the "I do, we do, you do" approach to make sure we completed all the steps correctly. At first, it was challenging to remember all the parts, but the more we practised the more our confidence grew. By the end of the week, we were solving tricky word problems and feeling proud of our progress!

English – Writing Persuasive Adverts

In English, we used our imaginations to create persuasive adverts for holidays to the Moon! We made up amazing facts to make the Moon sound like the best holiday destination ever. Did you know the Moon has the biggest theme park in the galaxy? Or that you can stay in luxury space hotels? Our adverts were full of alliteration, rhetorical questions, modal verbs and persuasive language to grab attention.

Art – Exploring Pointillism

Art this week was all about experimenting with Pointillism, a painting technique created by Georges Seurat that uses tiny dots to create a picture. We explored how to use contrasting colours to make our designs stand out. It was so much fun trying this style and seeing how the dots worked together to create amazing effects.

PE – Gymnastics Sequences

In PE, we continued our gymnastics journey by working on partner balances. We focused on creating symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes in our routines. It was challenging to hold the positions and keep balanced, but it felt great when we managed to pull it off as a team.

Thursday Fun – French Morning!

Thursday was such a treat! We had a French-themed morning where we tried pain au chocolats, croissants, and apple or orange juice. It was like a little taste of France! We also revised key French terms and colours. The highlight of the day was building the Eiffel Tower using spaghetti and marshmallows! We worked together as a team to create our towers, sharing ideas and helping each other along the way.

It’s been an exciting and busy week, and we’re looking forward to what’s coming next. Stay tuned for more updates from Year 5!

We've had another great week in Year 3 with lots of excellent learning taking place!

We have continued with our Iron Man topic, writing a descriptive 'Wanted' poster to help locate the Iron Man. Our focus has been on using similies and adjectives using language from the text as well as our imagination.

Our class reader this half term is Charlotte's Web - we are very much enjoying learning about Wilbur and Charlotte's friendship and enjoy our daily story time as a class.

In Science, we have started to look at solids, liquids and gases and how their properties differ. 

In Computing, we are developing our skills using 'Scratch' - this programme can be accessed via BWJS Apps on the school website.

Have a lovely weekend.
