• Y5&6 visit Bodmin Keep

  Mon 04 Dec 2023

  Over the past three days, the children in UKS2 have spent a day at the Bodmin Keep: Cornwall’s Army Museum where they have been able to explore and learn about Cornwall’s rich military history and heritage. This trip fits in perfectly with the Y5/6 topic: A Child’s War. The children were able to learn about life as a home guard, dress up as soldiers, shop with a ration list, play with WW2 toys and learn how to tie a complex knot military style! The staff at the museum commented on how interested, knowledgeable and well-behaved the children were.

  

• Artists get creative at Tate St. Ives

  Wed 08 Nov 2023

  Last week, twelve Year 5/6 children were chosen to take part in an art workshop at the Tate Gallery in St Ives. Here, the children spent some time in the gallery, studying the artwork in the Casablanca Art School exhibition. First, they made mini books, called ‘zines’ which they filled with their artwork inspired by the exhibition. After this, the children made bigger zines and used collage techniques to build their artwork using paper cut-outs, folding techniques and colourful shapes, cut out of various materials. They all did a fantastic job and represented Bodriggy Academy brilliantly.

  

• Cinderalla's Ball in EYFS!

  Fri 03 Nov 2023

  Ms Bragg, Mr Wood & Miss Carroll classes had a wonderful Cinderella ball today. We danced, feasted on our own homemade treats and watched a pantomime too. What a day! 

  

• DDMIX with Darcey Bussell!

  Thu 02 Nov 2023

  This week, some children in Year 5/6 had the fantastic opportunity of dancing with Dame Darcey Bussell, the world-famous ballerina!

  Throughout the workshop, each school had the chance to go up on to the stage to learn a dance with Darcey as part of her Divers Dance MIX programme. Bodriggy learnt a 1920's Charleston dance, which was enjoyed by all! The teachers even got the chance to make some ‘Night Fever’ moves on stage too.

  It was a fantastic experience and a day that will be remembered for a long time. Our children were brilliant and enthusiastic throughout, even joining in from their seats when they weren’t on the stage (as you can see in the photos!).

  

• Wildlife Garden officially opened at Bodriggy!

  Fri 20 Oct 2023 Miss Carroll

  We are proud to present to you our new 'Wildlife Garden', here at Bodriggy Academy.

  This garden is the result of an exceptionally enthusiastic group of School Councillors, some equally enthusiastic Staff and the wonderful ANNED LTD and Jewson , with plants donated by the Mayor.

  From a mind map of some very wild and wacky ideas to reality in a space of weeks, all produced out of kindness and a shared passion to make the world a better place for the future generation.

  We are very lucky and proud to be Bodriggy!
