F2 are learning about Chinese New Year this week!

Thank you @SarahChampionMP for visiting us! Our Y1 Pupil Parliament members got to meet her and they told her how they became elected and what their role entails. We have many aspiring future politicians here at BVCS.

Yr 1 have been thinking about how our local area can be improved. We had a walk to Clifton Park. This helped us to think of some suggestions for our special visitor @SarahChampionMP

We used our oracy skills #Voice21 and gave reasons for our opinions and made use of sentence stems.

We are ready for the rehearsals! @YVconcerts @SheffieldArena

As part of our Geography learning we went on a walk around our local area today. We noted the different types of houses that are in our community and different types of shops. We noticed solar panels on roofs, cycle lanes and telephone posts.

When we arrived at Clifton Park we noticed deciduous and evergreen trees and different types of plant. We also spent some time in the play area, that was lots of fun too!

                 

What a day! #teamBVCS were incredible at #YoungVoices. They represented our school so well and sung beautifully in a choir of over 5000 children. We can’t wait for Young Voices 2027! @YVconcerts @SheffieldArena

Year 5 Redwood are very excited to have created an assembly for PSHE. We are looking at how we can work well together in class and outside of the classroom. Every pupil has a speaking role and we will update with pictures later in the week!

In Y1 science we've been learning about plants. This week, we have been identifying and describing their basic structures. We really embraced working scientifically and have been using observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions. We enjoyed getting our hands dirty!

Year 2 had an absolutely amazing morning at the Boccia tournament! We are thrilled to say we won the tournament and came 1st place!

Well done Y2!

The Y5's enjoyed their visit from The Spacedome and learning about the Solar System and our galaxy!

Our F1 children have been enjoying reading Whatever Next by Jill Murphy. We have been hard at work creating our very own rockets and thinking about where we would like to adventure to.

Our FS2 Children have been learning about space this week! They also handled some slime in class.

Last week, we had another visit from the fabulous Andy Tooze. He reminded us all how fun poetry could be! Here is one the poems written on the day.

Year 6 have been learning some interesting facts about different human and physical features in North America. What's your favourite fact?

F2 enjoyed the Wonderdome today, where they explored the solar system.

This week our F1 children have been having endless fun exploring the colder weather. They especially loved playing in the snow!

Thank you to Jungle Jo, for coming in to see us and we hope to see you again soon! We were all very brave and we got to handle many different types of animals.
