7th June 2022a hayward

Here’s our Science Council Summer update.

We are continuing to grow and nurture sunflower plants as well and help look after pet tomato plants for each class. We continue to meet each week and this term we are also attempting to complete a #30dayswild challenge throughout June. Look out for photos of what we are getting up to and if you would like to join in and try this at home with your family, here is a tick list for you to check off.

Let Ms Drake know if you complete any of the challenges and feel free to find her at lunchtime to show her or tell her about what you have been up to linked to science and this challenge.

Year 5 get a visit from Zoolab!

30th March 2022S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

On Tuesday 29th March 2022 Year 5 were visited by Rob from Zoolab.  He brought with him some rainforest creatures. Many of them can be found in the Amazon Rainforest as the climate and habitat are perfect for them.  We met: a Madagascan Hissing cockroach, a Giant African Land Snail, a tarantula, a Royal Python, a Giant Millipede and a tree frog. We learned lots about them and he was very impressed with the questions that we were asking about the animals’ habitats and diets.

Science Council – Spring Update

23rd March 2022a hayward

As a school council, we were delighted to be able to meet up again in the second half of the Spring Term. We decided to try and cheer up the local community by putting positive messages on our school fence for members of the community to read. We have found and formatted them, we just need to laminate them to protect them against the weather. We will do this in our next meeting so keep your eyes peeled for our messages of positivity!

We have also discussed the terrible situation in Ukraine and that we would like to help. We are hoping to have a non-uniform day in the near future to raise money for this cause. Joe suggested that the children try to wear blue and yellow – the colours of the Ukrainian flag – and we all loved that idea.

Next term, we are going focus on our role as global citizens within the global community. We are looking forward to thinking about how we, as members of BHJS, can contribute meaningfully to a global cause.

We would also like to welcome Rubie to our team.  She is replacing Bobby who left our school this term.
