At BWJPS, reading for pleasure is extremely important. To encourage this, we have a reading for pleasure slot every day where we encourage children to read a variety of books. If you wish to help us provide these by generously donating a book to our Y3 classroom, you will find our Amazon Wishlist here.
Indoor – Navy blue shorts, white t-shirt and black pumps
Thank you to everyone who sent a flag to capture all your feelings about school. They are absolutely brilliant!!
The flags have now been put together (as you can see below) and we have also made them the banner for our Facebook page.
When we get back to school, we will print them out and display them around school. Thank you again, we LOVED seeing them! 
During the past half term our class was visited by some very special people from the Friendship Circle.
The Friendship Circle is a local charity that provides individuals with special needs support, friendship and inclusion that they deserve.
Esty Bruck joined the class on a couple of occasions with some of her friends from the group to teach our children that is OK to be different and how to be inclusive.
Esty also set us a task to produce artwork for an art exhibition for the Friendship Circle based on the theme of Inclusive Friendship.
Science – Light and Dark
In science this half term we have been learning about light and dark. Including how light is reflected. For this we conducted mini ‘mirror’ experiments, these included trying to walk the squiggly line by only looking at the mirror above you. The children found this extremely difficult and were able to say that because the mirror was in the opposite direction this made it harder for them.
Also whilst looking at what darkness actually is the kids tried to navigate the classroom blindfolded! Working in pairs they were stopped from bumping into everything by their partner. After sometime each pair made it back to their chairs.
BWJPS took part in a very exciting maths adventure day where children worked in small groups to solve puzzles using their fabulous maths skills. Children from EYFS to Year 6 took part and all really enjoyed themselves. Here are some pictures of Years 3 and 4 showcasing their problem solving skills.
Thank you to all who came to support our children during this year’s Sports Day. It was a wonderful day with gorgeous weather and a true camaraderie amongst the children. We also thank all family members that joined in the fun and competed in our adult races. For pictures from the day, click here.
