Gymnastics

This week in gymnastics, the children have been working on the apparatus to demonstarte; working at 3 different levels, performing with control and demonstarting zig-zag and straight pathways. Great job everyone! Well done to those children who got out of their confort zone and gave it ago!

Could you SURVIVE in the woods?

Today, Year 2 took part in a variety of different survival activities to bring our topic (Can you survive in the woods?) to life. The children got to experience what it would be like to be stuck in the woods with nothing but themselves. All of the children got hands on making shelters, making fires, learning, finding and eating edible plants (Daisies, Forsythia, Cleavers, Bramble, Sorrel, Dandelion, Clover and Ribwort), cooking and tasting Dandelion fritters and making Cleaver (sticky weed) soup.


This week's Superstars are...

Well done to this week's Year 2 award winners. Year 2 got a special award: for their hard work and determination in preparation for the SAT's tests. Congratulations to those children who have all achieved awards outside of school for their excellent efforts in swimming and gymnastics. Keep up the hard work everybody! 


Poet Matt Goodfellow returns to BBF

 Year 2 enjoyed their poetry workshop with our visiting author, Matt Goodfellow! The class worked hard to do some "Rebel Writing" by producing their own poems!  Matt spoke about different dialects and inspired all the children to be creative and use the ideas that they already have and turn it into poetry.  


Litter picking at Gorse Hall

The Eco Leaders did a fantastic job when they went litter picking at Gorse Hall.  With the help of Mr Pickles from the Friends of Gorse Hall and Mr Moon from Tameside Rotary and we collected 4 big bags full of litter.  All of the children worked really hard even in the pouring rain.  Well done everyone for helping to improve our local environment which will help our wildlife to grow and thrive.
