On Wednesday, Year 4 took a trip to Winchester to discover more about King Alfred and the Anglo Saxons. Activities included handling Anglo Saxon artefacts, making brooches and a tour of the cathedral. From the awe of the cathedral to holding a 1,000 years old pot, all of the children enjoyed their time in the ancient capital of Wessex. The children were a real credit to Bishop’s Waltham Junior School and it was lovely to have shared this trip with them.

We had an afternoon in the sun (just about) today at BWJS to mark the 90th birthday of the Queen.  Children bought in cakes, or other treats, and enjoyed them together.

It's not every day that our school is visited by an Olympic gold medallist, but that's what happened today as Lizzy Yarnold, the European champion, World champion and Olympic Gold Skeleton racer came to our celebration assembly. Lizzy showed us some footage of her time at the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014 and talked about her journey towards becoming a skeleton racer, her training regime, and the values that have led to her success. She also bought in her helmet, her shoes, and her gold medal which every child had a chance to look at and hold. A huge thank you to Lizzy for joining us today!

Year Six travelled to the Living Rainforest near Newbury yesterday to support our learning in geography (the rainforest) and science (evolution and adaptation). We were able to explore the rainforest area, including the newly-opened 'small islands' greenhouse, and we enjoyed a tour focused on the 'edible forest'. We learned about how different animals and plants find their food in the rainforest, and which parts of the rainforest are used by humans for food.

Last night, the choir and drama club at BWJS completed their run of performances of Splash!, this year's Christmas production.  The play ran over two nights, both of which had audiences of over one hundred people who enjoyed the songs, the acting and the dancing on stage.
