This week's superstars

A big well done to our Year 3 stars of the week. Congratulations to the children who received their Head Teacher's Awards and Bronze Award. Thank you to our Good to be Green winners for following our school rules. You make us proud! 


Super Bean Growth

Year 4 have been watching their broad beans grow steadily this week. It was fabulous to see how they are able to watch the root and shoot crack out of the seed. Some of the beans unfortunately aren't doing so well but others are growing amazingly. These will be being planted in our new vegetable beds very soon. 


Suffixes

This morning, we have been exploring 6 different suffixes (-ation, -ly, -ness, -ment, -less and -ful). We worked in pairs to write as many words to fit each of the suffixes. Well done everybody.


Design Technology in Year 3

The Iron Man needed help so Year 3 learnt about pulleys and decided to create a design to rescue him.

They planned, designed and tested their models in order to try to lift the Iron Man.

Great team work took place with lots of discussion on how to make models. Children asked each other how they could improve their designs.

Together we evaluated models, we decided models needed to be more sturdy and strong to stop the Iron Man from breaking the designs.


Disgusting Digestion

Year 4 have been learning about digestion and how food is processed. They have worked well together to create a life size model of the digestive system and managed to label the parts too. 


New to BBF - Wellbeing Wednesdays!

Our Pupil Leaders have decided that every Wednesday is a wellbeing 'check-in' day. On Wellbeing Wednesday we take time to chat, to do yoga, meditation and share things on our mind. Staff and pupils are joining in with these special days every week. Join in at home too and talk to each other. 


Scientists in Year 5!

Year 5 rose to the challenge yesterday when they came dressed as Scientists!  As well as some "Mad Scientists" with their lab coats and mad hair,  we had some Albert Einsteins,  the famous inventor Nikola Tessler, Jane Goodall and Brian Cox.  We even had a young, upcoming scientist, Megan McCubbin, the young presenter from Springwatch as well as Mark Rober, the American engineer and inventor, who is famous on YouTube.    Brilliant efforts!  Thank you Year 5.  Mrs Blomeley


Year 5's Fun at the Fair!

Year 5 were impressed with Year 6's Science Fair yesterday!  They enjoyed every activity and the opportunities they presented to learn the science behind the task.  A massive well done to Year 6 who were great hosts with their mature and knowledgeable approach to Science.  Mrs Blomeley
