The Tawny Owls and Owlets had a fantastic trip to Plymouth Aquarium today. They enjoyed learning about various sea creatures, their habitats, feeding and social habits. This exciting enrichment activity has been a great 'hook' for the children's learning this half term. The children were incredibly respectful to the leaders we had and also the general public that were enjoying a day out.

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee and 160 Years of Bridestowe School Celebrations

8/6/2022

0 Comments

 
On Friday 27th May, the whole school enjoyed an afternoon of celebrations. There was lots to celebrate with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the School’s 160th Anniversary. The afternoon started with a picnic on the field and a special Jubilee cupcake kindly prepared by Mrs Berry. Later we welcomed guests from the community including parents, grandparents, the Mayor, residents from Springfields and the local vicar. We all enjoyed a delicious cream tea and ice creams in the sunshine before the traditional games began. The playground was decorated with artwork created by every child in the school. The boards displayed photographs and memories from across the 160 years of the school’s history. The atmosphere was wonderful with everyone enjoying the opportunity to join to celebrate – it is sure to be a day the children will remember.

The children had a discussion about herbivores and carnivores today during forest school. They then drew their favourite animals within these categories on wooden discs. These were then used - alongside the other classes designs, to begin decorating the shelter. 
Between each disc, the children had the opportunity to explore the environmental area and roast a marshmallow. This enrichment activity is so popular with the Tawny Owls!

William Morris inspired art

The Snowy Owls explored the work of William Morris and used this as inspiration to create a piece of patterned artwork. William Morris designs focused on nature and floral motifs which tied closely to our work on plants in science. The children explored repeating patterns, symmetry and tessellation. They have created some wonderful final pieces of which are very effective.
