We are thrilled to announce the BWJS School House Captains for the 2024-25 academic year! Following a large pool of interested pupils, which saw 40 Year 6 pupils apply for the role, candidates were shortlisted and invited to participate in interviews with Mr. Campbell last week. The commitment, enthusiasm, and leadership qualities shown by all applicants were truly impressive, making the selection process a challenging one.

After careful consideration, we are pleased to confirm the School House Captains for this year:

• Lions: Ailbe M & Finn E
• Tigers: Dylan W & Evie J
• Leopards: Eleanor P & Oliver L
• Pumas: Jude B & Annabelle W

These individuals have demonstrated exceptional leadership potential and are outstanding role models for their peers. We are confident they will excel in their responsibilities and contribute positively to the school community throughout the year. Their duties will include leading house teams, setting an example for others, and supporting school events and activities.

We look forward to seeing them thrive in their new roles. Congratulations to all of our new House Captains!

It has been a busy fortnight of learning in Year 3 including learning how to send emails using BWJSApps, continuing to investigate different magnets and carrying out magnet challenges as well as starting to use Trick Box during PSHE sessions.

This week, we have continued to look at descriptive language in English with a focus on alliteration and similes. We will be using these skills next week to plan and write ourown Autumn poems.

In Maths, we have learnt a new method for subtraction and looked at repartitioning numbers if we are trying to subtract a larger number from a smaller number. We have been able to apply our new knowledge to different word problems.

We have continued to learn about the Stone Age in History and created our very own cave art which is on display outside our classrooms.
