Another busy week at BHPS full of performances, class assemblies, visits and residentials
It has been another incredibly busy and exciting time across the school, with pupils in every year group demonstrating creativity, teamwork and a real enthusiasm for learning.
In Foundation, children have been designing and making boats, carefully selecting materials to ensure they would float and remain waterproof before testing them in the water area, alongside enjoying Easter activities such as making chocolate nests, creating cards and taking part in a collaborative Easter Egg Hunt with Key Stage 1. In Year 1, pupils have been learning to group animals by their diets, confidently identifying carnivores, herbivores and omnivores and presenting their understanding using Venn diagrams; they also performed wonderfully in The Zoo for parents and enjoyed a visit to St Michael’s Church. Year 2 children explored nutrition and healthy eating, learning about balanced diets before applying their food preparation skills to make their own healthy wraps, showing great enthusiasm and a willingness to try new foods. In Year 3, pupils have been developing their art and DT skills by creating abstract sculptures inspired by Anthony Caro and building stable structures using frames and cladding, and also impressed with their confident and engaging assembly. Year 5 enjoyed a fantastic residential experience, taking part in activities such as ziplining, Via Ferrata and orienteering, while demonstrating excellent teamwork, resilience and behaviour throughout. Meanwhile, Year 6 completed the DAaRT programme, learning about resilience, decision-making and support networks, while also developing their lacrosse skills and showing great determination in their practice SATs.
As we reach the end of a very busy half term, it is clear how much has been achieved across the school. We are extremely proud of all our pupils and look forward to another exciting term ahead after a well-deserved break.
