Our topic in Year 6 has mainly been about Victorian times. We will now show you one of the photos we took. It is about the workhouses in the Victorian era. The conditions in these workhouses were extremely filthy and dangerous due to a high risk of catching disease. You could also get beaten in these workhouses for behaving badly.

Year 6 has also been focusing on text mapping in English where we talk about the model text in pictures! In maths, Year 6 are in different maths groups. This means that different children from other classes can go to another class and learn about maths there. We are now learning about reading and writing numbers up to 1 MILLION!

Breaking news... ! There is a big change in PE . Our PE is now led by the incredible Miss Welch supported by the equally incredible Miss Davis and Mr Baker (who is incredible too!) We are excited about their fun lessons! Also, the new football and netball teams have been announced, their contracts have been signed and we are looking forward to hearing how they are getting on. The Year 5s were mostly excited but a little bit scared about their first swimming lesson. We are pleased to report that 5CS loved their first lesson. Ishani reported, 'It was a bit scary at first but when I got into the water, it was fun."

National fitness day is celebrated every day of the year is it takes place in the 18th September. National Fitness Day was first launched in 2011. It was created to raise awareness of the importance of being active for our health. The theme for 2024 is 'Your Health is for Life.' This was also the theme in 2023. At break time, Miss Welch, Mr Baker and Miss Davies will be hosting some fun games and challenges. Mrs Payne will be hosting a walkathon.

Read our blog next time to find out more.

Thank you!

I am Ishani and my teacher is Mrs. Spears and we have many jobs around the school but I am going to talk about the most important ones. First, lets start with Pupil Parliament. For this job you will have to have ideas - lots of them. You would need amazing oracy skills and you would need to be brave enough to share your ideas with the class. You need to be committed to give lunch times away for meetings.

How we choose our Pupil Parliament members:

1. You have to write a speech to share to the whole class.

2. You will have to vote , you might be able to choose yourself

Hopefully you will be selected!

We use democracy because there would be lots of people who might want to be pupil parliament so to make it easier we have a democracy to make it fair so no one is left out. There is a pupil parliament in every class so it will make the voting take

Back to School!

It's been a busy couple of weeks back to school.

Let's welcome our new Year 3 kids who are new to the school. In one of our first assembles, Mr Hillier hosted a quiz. Year 3 were up against Year 4 and Year 5 took on Year 6. The quiz was all about the school. Impressively, the new Year 3s were able to recall lots of information and drew against Year 4. It was a draw for Year 5 and 6 too.

Values and Rules

In assembly and in class, we recapped on our values and school rules. Our values are: 'Inspire, Challenge, Succeed' and our rules are be 'Ready, Respectful and Safe.'

New Residential -coming in March...

Our new Year 4s are going on a new residential trip to Woodrow House and will stay 2 nights instead of 4 nights. Woodrow is in Amersham. We will give you more updates about this nearer the time.

We are new to Bedgrove Junior School and joined from the Bedgrove Infant School. We are both in 3JK and Miss Keen is our teacher. The other Year 3 teachers are Mrs Linford, Miss Rhodes-Smith and Miss Imtiaz. We have really enjoyed our first few weeks at school.

We had a really exciting Wow Day to introduce our topic of Stone Age. We made some Stone Age houses out of sticks, leaves and moss. We used clay to stick it all together. Then we learnt about the time periods of the Stone Age: Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and the Neolithic. I enjoyed doing artwork of Stone Henge. My favourite part was learning about the Stone Age whilst having fun!

We've been learning a lot lately. We are learning about Talk for Writing, skeletons in science and place value in maths.
