Farewell September

What a busy week we had last week.    We started with the Betty Bus - some of you may have seen the giant, pink and yellow bus parked on the playground on Monday!  Girls from Y5 and Y6 went onto the bus in small groups whilst boys stayed in the classrooms and took part in activities with staff from the bus.   The aim of the Betty Bus is to encourage conversation and deepen understanding of periods.   The  Y5 children took part sensibly and were a credit to Bradway Primary School.  Children are welcome to ask us any questions they may have about what they learnt - both classes have Worry Boxes which can be used for this or any other subject.

We have completed our first Maths unit on Place Value, and will be moving onto Addition and Subtraction next week.   In English, we are considering how we make our writing more descriptive.  On Friday we had hoped to go on a sensory walk outside school however this plan was scuppered by our changeable British weather.   Fingers crossed for a dry spell this week so that we can get outside!

Children have been invited to apply to be Science Ambassadors.   To apply, they need to write a letter of application explaining why they would be a positive Science ambassador for the school.   The deadline for applications is Monday and Mrs Iosson is very much looking forward to reading the applications!

On Thursday this week we will be blasting off to the Space Centre in Leicester.  Please ensure you have returned payments and permission (either on paper or by ticking the consent box if you are paying online).
