• Forest School Fridays are Back!

  Fri 07 Oct 2022 Mr Wood

  Nursery & Reception!
  Today we resumed our forest school Fridays with some marshmallow roasting around the fire and soup making and tasting. A yummy day! Have a great weekend and enjoy this lovely autumnal weather if you can.

  

• Silver Stories

  Fri 07 Oct 2022 Mrs Richings

  Another new reading initiative this year is the launch of ’Silver Stories’.

  Silver listeners sign up if they would like to receive a phone call from a silver reader every week. During the call, the silver reader reads a story or poem aloud. This benefits both parties as the reader gets to practise their reading aloud skills, and the listener gets a regular phone call from a young person, which gives them something to look forward to. As well as the reading, there is time to chat and develop a friendship over the phone.

  Grace and Henri have been chosen initially, and other pupils will get a chance to take part throughout the year. Both girls were nervous to begin with, but said how much they enjoyed the experience. Well done girls; what a lovely thing to do.

  

• The first netball festival of the year

  Thu 06 Oct 2022 Miss Wicks

  We had our first sporting fixture today. Our netball teams went to Hayle Academy to play against other Hayle-based schools in a tournament.

  One team came first and the other team came third! All children were absolutely brilliant in their attitude and behaviour. They made us feel very proud to be part of Bodriggy.

  

• The launch of Secret Reader

  Thu 06 Oct 2022 Mrs Richings

  Reading is very important at Bodriggy, and we are always looking for new ways to make it even more important and exciting. Today we welcomed our first Secret Reader into school. Each class is going to welcome a Secret Reader into class every half term to read to the class at the end of the day.

  Today, Mrs Richings’ class were delighted to see Mrs Quinn walk through the door as their Secret Reader. Mrs Quinn read her favourite poems to the class, which was perfect as today is National Poetry Day. What a treat!

  If you would like to be a Secret Reader for a class, then please email staff, via the office, stating which class you would like to read in and we can get you booked in. You can either bring in a book of your choice, or the class teacher will provide a book for you.

  

• Activity Weeks!

  Fri 17 Jun 2022

  The whole school has taken part in activity weeks since half term. So many wonderful activities have been arranged including forest school, surfing, arts and crafts, cookery, beach days, sports, Paradise Park, dance and unusual highlights such as Nerf Battles and Zorb Football! Thanks to everyone who helped to organise the events and well done to all of the children for your courage and enthusiasm!

  

• Our Butterflies Get Released!

  Fri 27 May 2022

  Key Stage One said goodbye to their butterflies today. It was very emotional but really lovely to have watched the whole process so closely.

  

• A donation from Asda!

  Fri 27 May 2022

  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!

  

• A Mural Makes the Library Complete!

  Fri 27 May 2022

  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!

  

• Nature's Art Club in the community

  Thu 19 May 2022

  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 Bee Day!

  Wed 18 May 2022

  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!
