BWJS Latest News

For the summer, BWJS are signed up to Quadblogging.  Quadblogging is a way of linking one school blog to another three around the world.  Over the course of the process, each school blog is visited by people from the other three.  During our visits, we can find out what is going on in other classes around the world and add our own comments.

In our quad, we are joined by St Monica’s Primary School (Wodonga, Australia), Lingwood Primary School (UK), and Vardon School (New Zealand).

This week, the focus blog is Mr Slater’s Year 5 class at Lingwood Primary School!  Please visit them if you can, find out what they’ve been doing, and leave them a comment.

This morning, Maple Class had a special delivery brought to their classroom … a small brown box with the words ‘OPEN URGENTLY’ printed on it. The children were very excited and once the box was opened, there were 5 very tiny caterpillars in a special pot which will eventually turn into Painted Lady butterflies. The caterpillars will take between 7-14 days to become chrysallides and then a further 7-14 days to hatch and turn into butterflies. Maple Class are very excited about their new arrivals!

Year 4 have been getting on really well with their Roman Chariots and on Friday of last week, they made the barrier for their chariot and added some Roman decoration to it.  Although the barrier looks easy to make, the children had to make sure they were following the instructions very carefully so that they didn’t miss out any crucial steps!  Take a look at some of their creations …

On Friday last week, BWJS Bloggers launched again for the summer term.

Last year, children at BWJS Bloggers posted articles to the main school blog.  This year, children are working on their own class blogs which you can find by using the links at the side of the screen.  These class blogs will update through the summer term, and the children writing them will become a team of blogging experts who can spread their knowledge through the school next year.

On Thursday afternoon this week, the Year 5 school teaching team ran a maths workshop for parents and children. The workshop was well-attended, with a number of parents and their children taking part. Mrs. Peach and Mr. Senior explained the methods we use for addition and subtraction and the parents and children had an opportunity to practice some of the methods together too. The emphasis was on the children having a full understanding of what they are doing and only moving on to the next step when they are ready.

Thank you to all the parents who attended; the feedback was excellent.

A special thank you to all of the Year 6 pupils who helped out with the creche. Your support was very much appreciated!
