Birstwith Primary School

It is already the final term of the year! It has flown by and it's amazing to look back over the photgraphs and see how muchthe children have grown. This term is crammed full of new learning and there will be photos to be added to highlight their journey as some get ready to move on to secondary school, and other prepare to be the 'big ones' at school...watch this space....

Below are some links to topics and texts that we will be covering over the summer term. 

The first day of the Bewerley residential was amazing.  After making beds and scoffing a great lunch, the children were kittted out with waterproofs, wetsuits and helmets and we headed out to a local gyhll where the group scrambled over various rocks and got soaking wet, slipping, sliding and splashing their way up the ghyll.  Lots of fun had by all!! 

Day 2 consisted of High ropes, Low ropes, canoeing and a night walk.  The children put in 100% and managed to achieve some pretty tricky feats.  Super proud of their effort and leadership.

Day 3 was fully organised... I huge morning or scrambling, climbing and crawling through all the nooks and crannies that Brimham Rocks has to offer. This was followed up with a quick lunch then one group went on to do some shelter building and bushcraft whilst the other went on an eco walk around a rare and wonderful temperate rainforest!! Bet you didn't know we had one of those on our doorstep?! 

This term, the children have been extending their learning in all manner of areas- They have been learning to blanket stitch; to make their own stuffed toy, understanding the VIkings were not just raiders and warriors, learning how to choreograph their own dance routine, understanding how different materials have different properties, and why.  Also, they have delved into the world of computing- coding and sending messages.
