Everyone enjoyed a spook-tacular disco on Wednesday 2nd November 2022. Costumes were amazing!
Science Council Club have looked at seasonal changes focusing on Autumn and what we are noticing happening in our surroundings. They went on an autumnal hunt and collected some items from the school grounds and are looking for more signs of Autumn when outside school too.
As always they bring enthusiasm to club and lots of smiles.
We celebrated Harvest Festival on Friday 21st October in our school hall. Lots of parents and carers came to support their children. All of the food donations were sent to a local food bank. thank you for your continued support.
In multi-cultural, week we were so lucky to find out more about African drumming when Fanuel, from Zimbabwe, came to visit us. We found out that African drums are called djembe drums and are made out of wood and goat skin. We learned that in Africa, there are many rhythms played on the drums for all different occasions and some children tried to play some of these rhythms. Fanuel also taught us some African songs and dances. We all had a fantastic time!
Staying Safe Week
14th November to 18th November
This week is all about knowing how to stay safe in our homes, when we are out in the community, when we are online and when we are in school. It is also Anti-Bullying Week, and the theme this year is ‘Reach Out’. The children will be consolidating what bullying is and what they already know about it. They will be exploring different situations they may find themselves in and what the different actions and consequences could be. The focus will be on ‘reaching out’ and telling a trusted adult if the children experience or see any bullying behaviour. The children will also explore online safety and cyberbullying culminating with ‘Friendship Friday’ where the focus will be on what a good friend is and how to sustain good friendships.

Our new Science Council members have been voted in and what a wonderful group of pupils they are already proving to be. They have all been introduced to each other and now have their own very important ‘Science Council representative lanyards to wear to club each Thursday and when doing important jobs, helping to give students at Biddick hall Juniors a voice for science in the school.
We celebrated Roald Dahl day on his birthday (13th September). His favourite colour was yellow so we all tried to wear something yellow. During the day we discussed some of his books and completed activities linked to these. We held a competition linked to ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ which involved us designing our own unique sweet/chocolate bar.
Year 3 had a visit from a Stone age historian. He brought his collection of artefacts for us to see and hold. He talked to us about how people in this period would live, how they would get their food and where they would live. We looked at how Stonehenge was formed and its meaning. Finally we created our own cave drawings. We had a great afternoon and learned lots of information ready for our new topic.
Congratulations to all of our end of year achievement winners!
