Since joining the school in September, Miss Vysochan has been a dedicated and caring Lunchtime Supervisory Assistant who has made a genuinely positive impact on both pupils and colleagues.
During her time at BWJS, Miss Vysochan has shown great kindness, patience, and professionalism. She has supported our children each day with a reassuring smile, helping to create a safe, happy, and nurturing environment during lunchtimes. Her calm presence and caring approach have been truly appreciated across the school community.
Although we are very sad to see her go, we are extremely grateful for everything she has contributed to BWJS. On behalf of all the children, staff, governors, and families, we wish Miss Vysochan every success and happiness in her next steps.

Year 6 Update - Friday 13th February 2026
Half term! It's not been a long half term since Christmas, but we've packed a lot in so we're definitley ready for a week to recharge. Since our last update, we've squeezed in a short English unit about poetry using Macbeth as our starting point, we've bought our computing maze games to (almost) a close, we've enjoyed some fantastic science workshop experiences with the team from Swanmore, and we've completed another round of practice SATS papers to demonstrate the progress we've made since December and identify the gaps we need to work on further. Next half term is shorter again - only five weeks, and we're off to Liddington for one of them, so we're planning very hard to make the most of the time we have available.
Our next updates will come directly from our trip away - they'll be frequent and full of photographs, so be sure to keep an eye on the school's facebook page to see what we're getting up to. In the meantime, have a nice break - we'll be back soon!

Year 5 Learning Update - Friday 6th February 2026
Year 5 Learning Update - Friday 6th February 2026
Year 5 have had a busy and productive couple of weeks, with lots of hands-on learning across the curriculum.
🧪Science
In Science, the children have been experimenting with substances, solutions and mixtures. They took part in practical investigations using sieves, filters and magnets to explore different ways of separating materials.
💬English
In English, we have been completing our work on Rooftoppers. The children focused on persuasive writing, producing letters and appeals linked to the story. To finish the unit, they also included dialogue between characters, showing a strong understanding of voice and viewpoint.
🧗♂️PE
Our gymnastics lesson this week involved work on the wall bars, box tops and benches. The children applied everything they have learned about balances and shapes in a carousel of activities, demonstrating confidence, control and teamwork.
🔵Art
In Art, we are coming to the end of our pointillism unit. The children worked collaboratively on small squares of different paintings, layering hundreds of coloured dots to build larger artworks and explore how colour combinations create different effects.
We are counting down the days to a restful half term at the end of next week before learning begins again in Spring 2. Well done, Year 5, for all your hard work!
Year 4 Update- Friday 13th February 2026
Year 4 have had a very exciting week completing our D.T. unit on muffins! The children planned out their flavours and designed their packaging ready for the big cook on Monday morning. All of year 4 assembled in the hall, with clean hands and aprons, ready to make their muffins. Working in groups of 4, children followed the basic recipe and then added their own choice of flavours including lemon, blueberries, cinnamon and chocolate chips. There were some excellent egg crackers and all groups worked together really well to measure carefully, keep all the ingredients in the bowl and gently combine rather than stir to oblivion!
The muffins were then kindly cooked by Kim in the kitchen ready for tasting in the afternoon. Despite some unusual flavour combinations, each child carefully tasted and evaluated one of their muffins and then put their other muffin in their creative packaging. Hopefully, some of them made it past the school run to be admired at home!
