Rainbow Flag News

We are delighted to announce that we have achieved 2 more badges toward our Rainbow Flag Award. We also had fantastic comments from the judges awarding them.   In the feedback for policies it was commented that “It is clear that your policies and procedures were already of a good standard with regard to inclusivity even before you began working towards the Rainbow Flag Award. The work that you have done towards this sectionhas simply made good policies even better.”  And we are really proud to share the feedback about Parents and Governors – “You have done some really great work towards this section. It is clear that you have a great set of governors and parents who are all supportive of the work you’re doing towards the Rainbow Flag Award.”

Well done everyone!

             

School council judge Pudsey competition.

30th November 2022S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

For Children in Need, the school council created a school competition to design a new eye patch for Pudsey.  They collected the entries and judged them very carefully in our most recent meeting.  After the winners from each class were selected, the school council chose a book for that child as a prize.  The council members presented the winners with their prizes in our celebration assembly on Friday morning.

Investigating our Box of Delights in Year 5!

30th November 2022S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

We were lucky enough to get a ‘Box of Delights’ from the Discovery Museum that was filled with artefacts from the Viking times in Britain.  We explored the items and thought carefully about what they might be, what they might’ve been made from and who might have used them.  The children were excellent with their justifications which backed up their ideas. After that, we thought about what it told us about the Vikings and if there was anything that we used today that was similar. We were amazed (and disgusted) when we found out that the Vikings would use an ear spoon to clean their ears!  It looked a bit like a modern cotton bud and it told us that the Vikings liked to keep themselves clean and had pride in their appearance. We made some gorgeous museum style fact cards to record our ideas.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to these children who were presented with Maths certificates in assembly. The child in each class who has made the most progress with their TT Rockstars gig since starting this academic year received a certificate.  There were 3 very special awards given to children who achieved 100/100 on their latest gig which is impressive, so an extra special well done to Finley Jopling, Ella-May Grant and Darla Mihaita!
