Bridestowe pupils and staff marked 80 years since VE Day with a two minute silence- a powerful moment of reflection to honour those who served. In classes children explored the historic moment through art activities and they also came together in their house teams to create crowns and flags. At lunchtime the whole school came together for a lunchtime celebration. It was wonderful to see all the children wearing red, white and blue for this significant event.

The Tawny Owls were delighted to receive a letter today from King Charles III. 
The pupils had sent copies of their persuasive letters to the government, to His Royal Highness when they were learning the story, The Journey Home which was about endangered animals. 
It was lovely to see the excitement on the children's faces when we had this exciting delivery and it has given great purpose to their writing. 
In the letter the King thanked the children, 'for sending him copies of the splendid messages you sent...and was immensely touched to learn that you all care deeply about protecting animals, and greatly appreciates the care with which you composed your letters'.

O que ha de especial em Curitiba? (What is special about Curitiba?)

0 Comments

 
In Geography this week, Barn Owls studied the Brazilian city Curitiba. They discovered what is so special about this city in terms of sustainability and the amazing quality of life the citizens that live there, have. The class located the city on the map, drew the overall map of Brazil and then answered - in detail - the main lesson question: O que ha de especial em Curitiba? 
Lots of the class were so inspired by the discussion and talking points, that they have added this country to their travel bucket list. Excellent geographical enquiry and discussion Barn Owls - well done!

Plastic Pollution - A Solution!

0 Comments

 
As part of our new Geography topic - Energy and Sustainability, Barn Owls have become very aware of the amount of plastic within our world and two members have approached the company Terracycle and created their own plastic collection point. They then hope that the plastic they have collected can be sent off to Terracycle and then recycled into school items such as outdoor benches, games items and resources. The children have created a clear list of items that can be included and everyday ensure the rubbish is sorted and cleaned. What excellent eco warriors you are!

An author of a picture book called, Tank the Tooth Fairy came to visit today. Bethany Finnimore read the story which is a fantastic book that spoke about the importance of being resilient.
