Key Stage One said goodbye to their butterflies today. It was very emotional but really lovely to have watched the whole process so closely.
Nursery & Reception
Thank you so much to ASDA Hayle for donating a jubilee hamper of treats for us to use in our celebrations today and in weeks to come. A handful of excited Nursery and Reception children popped down into store to receive the kind offerings along with Mr Wood and Mr Simons. Thanks again!
We watched in awe as Jordan Lauder from The Mural Company spent a weekend building layers of paint with roller, spray can and air brush to complete the decoration of our school library. The library has been the most incredible community project that began with the generosity of parents and the wider community. We waited 5 months to secure the help of Jordan because our children deserve the very best and we are so glad we did; we believe our library is as special as one could ever wish to find in a primary school. Thank you to Aspects Holidays for their contribution that made the mural possible but above all, thanks to Jordan whose genius will welcome Bodriggy children into our school library for years to come: just magical!
This afternoon, our Nature’s Art Club took a trip down to the King George V Memorial Walk to deliver the ‘Bugingham Palace’ that a previous group helped to make, to our plot in the Hayle in Bloom garden. The children spent their time filling in the palace with logs, bamboos, twigs, sticks, bark chips, dried plants and pinecones ready for the new residents to move in! We also delivered the recycled queen bees, also made by the previous group, which we will ‘plant’ into the ground next week.
KS1 have had an un-BEE-lievable day today! We have learnt all about bees, tasted honey, made yummy flapjacks and planted bee-friendly flowers to help solitary bees in Cornwall. The children are now making signs for our, ’bee day bake sale’ and getting ready to plant our sunflowers. They have been really fascinated by this incredible little insect and are learning so much about why they are vital to our planet.
We will hold a cake sale raising money for Woodland Trust and the Cornwall Bee-Keeping Society.
What busy bees they’ve been!
At the weekend, four children from Bodriggy Academy represented Hayle Surf Life Saving Club in the Surf Life Saving GB National Championships in Cardiff. The club placed fourth, out of twenty three clubs, competing from across Great Britain. A huge well done to Max, Kensa, Oscar and Eliza.
What a week it has been for our Year Six pupils! They have started each day with a breakfast bap in school, eaten sweets, had cupcakes made for them by a kind governor, had a trip to the park and toasted marshmallows around a camp fire. All of this AND it was SATs week! The children have impressed us all so much with their resilience and hard work; they really did give 100% effort, and that’s all we can ask for. Well done Year Six. We hope you have a relaxing weekend.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the Year Six pupils this week through their kind words and gestures-it has been very much appreciated.
All of our children will benefit from Forest School experiences this year. Today, some of our Year 3&4 children had a fantastic first experience at our Forest School today. They made twists with the bread dough they made this morning and cooked them over the camp fire. Once cooked, they dipped the bread into the raita dip, before eating. Other activities included: den building, which involved working as a team, and making nature crowns and wands with foraged leaves, sticks and flowers. What a brilliant afternoon of learning!
Yesterday, two of our millionaire readers had the opportunity to step aboard the library van that visited school. Charlie and Samayra were excited to be able to choose 110 new books for our school library.
Ilah, in Rainbowfish Class, wrote a letter to our MP, George Eustice because she’d noticed many of the hedgerow plants and trees around where she lives were being cut down. She asked Mr Eustice if there were any plans to replant the area along a route she enjoys cycling along. Here is Ilah reading the response from Mr Eustice to the class. Well done, Ilah, for caring for the environment and taking the time to question our local MP.
