As we hurtle towards the end of the year, Year 4 are still giving 100% effort! Over the past 2 weeks we’ve continued working on our art project, created songs in Computing and still preparing ourselves for the final music concert of the year.

As year group we recently wrapped up our Electricity unit by creating burglar alarms for Mr Campbell! Every year the children are challenged to come up with ideas, every year Mr Campbell wants the perfect alarm! I believe we came close this year.

Fun sports morning

Lower school enjoyed their morning working together to do their best at each activity. There was some great collaboration and fun had by all!

We’re at the concluding stage of our Typography and Printing unit. Replicating various artist’s styles, we have created some stunning typography. Next week, we will complete our final pieces, so ensure you’ve made room for child’s next masterpiece!

Dance Ejay! A favourite with all the children. This program allows them to create a tune through drag and drop sound bites. It’s fantastic!

Thank you!

We’ve had so many highlights this year, from Stubbington to the music concerts and lots in between, it has been a pleasure to share a year of the children’s learning. Thank you for all your support, the Year 4 team.   

As the year draws to a close, Year 6 have been hard at work on their last major event of the year: the Year 6 Production.  This year, we have been working hard rehearsing Ye-Ha, a wild west tale of excitement and drama.  So far, we had performed twice - once to Years 2, 3 and 4, and once to Year 5 and a small number of adults.  Our main performances are coming next week and we look forward to welcoming you in to see them.

Alongside this work, we've also embarked on a number of other projects.  In PHSE, we've completed our sex and relationship education unit for the year, learning about conception, pregnancy and childbirth.  In DT, we've been designing fairground rides ready for are final practical DT sessions in the last three days.  In history, we've started learning about the Mayans - this will be the focus of our classroom time next week when we're not out cycling for Bikeability.  All in all, there's a lot going on - it may feel like we're winding down, but we still have a lot to pack in.

We're also looking ahead to our leavers' events: the BBQ on the final Tuesday, and our Leavers' Assembly on the final day.  These two events are a lovely way to mark the end of the children's time with us, and we look forward to them both.

This morning, BWJS proudly hosted the annual District Athletics Competition, welcoming teams from Swanmore and St John’s for a fantastic morning of sport. The level of competitiveness, determination and sportsmanship on display from all athletes was outstanding and reflected the very best of school sport.

We are delighted to announce that BWJS finished in 1st place, successfully retaining the District Athletics Trophy. Our pupils represented the school brilliantly, showing resilience, teamwork and encouragement throughout the event.

A huge thank you to the parents who came along to support the competitors and help create such a positive atmosphere. We would also like to recognise our Year 6 Team Captains, who played an important role, assisting with the logistics and smooth running of the event.

Finally, a special thank you to Mr Watton for organising and leading this annual sporting event. His hard work, enthusiasm and commitment ensured another successful and enjoyable competition for all involved.

Well done to every athlete who took part—we are incredibly proud of you all! 🏆🥇👏
