On Monday 28th March 2022, the school council tied some messages of positivity to our school railings to inspire the local community. The children found the messages, printed them, cut them out and with supervision laminated and hole punched them before putting them outside. We hope that the messages will spread hope, self-belief and positivity throughout our community.
Year 6 had a fantastic time at Nissan. During our visit found out about all of the safety equipment that workers have to wear and some of us tried some items on. We also got to work as a team, pretending that we were working on a production line building cars using Lego. Additionally, we all took part in practical activities that the handlers would do, such as using a hammering dints out of body work. It was great fun and we learned a lot.
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.
We love Golden Time in 5LR! All of the children have worked hard and earned 30 minutes of free time. We love to play games with each other and this week we played Guess Who, Tumbling Monkeys, Don’t Say It and Snakes and Ladders. We also enjoyed constructing with Lego and completing a jigsaw of the world!
We enjoyed wearing non-uniform and our red noses and completing a variety of activities. We paid a £1 towards this worthy cause.
We enjoyed designing and making a variety of maths games as part of MST week.
Using the pupils understanding of electrical systems and design, they were challenged with designing and creating a steady hand game. Pupils used nets to create their bases and their knowledge of electrical circuits to build a circuit with a buzzer which closed when the handle made contact with the wire frame.
After researching various pieces of playground equipment, pupils explored the different structures and then designed three pieces of apparatus using different structures. They then built these using a range of materials and equipment.
In Year 4 we have been creating slingshot cars. We needed to build the chassis first then we created the body of the car. It was very tricky but we all tried our best!
Year 3 have been learning about pneumatic systems in Design and Technology. Pneumatic systems use air to create movement. They had to create a pneumatic system and then use it to create a toy with a moving part. They had lots of fun completing their projects.
