• Bodriggy's New Eco-Code

• Eco-Code Competition

  Wed 03 May 2023 Miss Carroll

  Our School Council has been on a special mission this year to achieve the Eco-Schools Green Flag for our school, but to achieve this we need your help.

   

  We would like to create an ‘Eco-code’ for Bodriggy Academy. An Eco-code is our school’s mission statement. It outlines the ways we, as a school, are aiming to become a greener, more environmentally-friendly place.

   

  It is up to you to present your code for our school, however, we have one specification, we would like you to write your code as an acrostic poem using the word ‘Bodriggy’.

   

  Some examples of ways Bodriggy is aiming to become greener is:

  • look after nature
  • turn of lights and switches when you’re not using them
  • reduce, reuse, recycle

  If you need any more ideas, check out the ‘School Council’ section of the website!

   

  Entries need to be in by Friday 19^th May and can be handed in to Miss Carroll or Miss Champion. The winner will be announced in assembly. The winning entry will have their poster displayed on the school website, around the school and shared as part of our ‘Green Flag Award’.

  Fri 28 Apr 2023

  As a part of celebrating children’s commitment to reading for pleasure, we continue with our reading tea parties. Last week, our Reading Karate Black Band children had the chance to sign our special teapot that was made for us by our good friend Michelle and her team at Create and Paint near Portreath. There are many names already; can we add some more by the end of the year?

• The Inaugural Bodriggy Speaks competition.

  Wed 08 Feb 2023 Mrs. Richings

  Our inaugural 'Bodriggy Speaks' competition took place on Wednesday. We were all so impressed by the children's bravery and composure when delivering their speeches to the whole school. They also did brilliantly when answering questions based on a passage they had read to them. Huge congratulations to Nevaeh for winning and well done to everyone for taking part; the buzz created by all of the speakers was proof enough that we have started a tradition that will continue to grow.

  

• Reading Tea Party

  Wed 08 Feb 2023 Mr Simons

  On Wednesday, we held our first Reading Tea Party, where we invited all of our red and brown karate band children to join us for a juice, biscuit and chat about their favourite books. It was a real joy to hear 23 children speak with such enthusiasm about reading, and mention books that I had never heard of: thanks to Kelly in year 1, 'Granny Got a Sprout Stuck Up Her Sneezer' is my new favourite Christmas book! 

  Thanks to Mrs Richings for organising and to Mrs Hughes for the refreshments!
