Out of School Achievement – Eva (Year 4)
We are delighted to celebrate an impressive out‑of‑school achievement by Eva in Year 4.
Over the past year, Eva has shown incredible determination and commitment as she has independently developed her horse‑riding skills. Through regular practice, she has taught herself to confidently walk, trot and canter, and has even taken part in jumping.
Recently, Eva put all of this hard work into action by successfully completing her first 10‑mile fun ride at the Longwood Estate. This was a significant challenge and a fantastic milestone, and Eva was justifiably very proud of what she achieved.
Well done, Eva — this is a brilliant accomplishment and a wonderful example of perseverance, confidence and dedication beyond the classroom. We are extremely proud of you and love celebrating the achievements of our pupils both in and out of school.
South East of England Swimming Finals
Several pupils from Bishop’s Waltham Junior School recently represented the school at the South East of England Swimming Finals, held at Guildford. Arabella, Polly, Beatrice and Alice competed as part of the girls’ relay team, facing strong opposition from schools across the region, including a number of leading independent schools.
The team qualified for the finals in both the freestyle and medley relays, finishing an impressive 6th place in the freestyle final and 7th place in the medley. The results were extremely close, with only fractions of a second separating the teams, highlighting just how competitive the event was.
The pupils demonstrated outstanding commitment, teamwork and resilience throughout the competition and represented the school with pride. Their achievement reflects the high standard of swimming and dedication shown by the team, and the school is extremely proud of their success.
The school would like to thank Mrs Cooper and Mrs Berrow, the school’s swim coaches, for their continued dedication, encouragement and commitment in supporting the pupils to achieve such a fantastic outcome.
Year 3 Learning Update - Friday 1st May 2026
It has been another busy and productive week in our Year 3 classrooms. Here is an update on all the fantastic learning your children have been doing and a look at what is coming up next week.
English: From Rainforests to Pen Friends
We have officially finished our non-fiction writing about rainforest animals! It has been absolutely fascinating to read the children's reports. They should all be very impressed with themselves for the way they used technical language to describe habitats, diets, and unique behaviours linked to their animal.
Looking Ahead:
Next week, we are taking on a very special writing task. We will be replying to our Year 2 pen friends from the infant school! The children will be writing letters to explain all about life at the BWJS - sharing what it’s like to be a Junior and all the exciting things they have to look forward to when they join us.
Maths: Fantastic Fractions
We are moving into our new topic of Fractions. Over the coming week, we will be exploring: Understanding unit and non-unit fractions and calculating fractions of amounts (e.g. finding 2/5 of 20).
PSHE: Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds
In our PSHE lessons, we are focusing on physical, mental, and emotional health. We will be discussing various ways to keep ourselves healthy, from the food we eat and the exercise we do to how we manage our feelings and look after our minds.
History: The Legacy of the Romans
Our history lessons are diving into the big question: "What have the Romans done for us?" We will be exploring Roman inventions and influences - like roads, central heating, and even some of the foods we eat today. The children will also be comparing Roman times with our modern life to see just how much has changed (and what has stayed the same).
