Whitlingham Lake Adventure Park – Year 5 Trip

On Thursday 8th May, we went to Whitlingham lake to experience and enjoy 4 different water sports. Across our 4 groups, the instructors led us in kayaking, canoeing, sailing and stand up paddle boarding (SUP). When we got there, the instructors got us to put on our buoyancy aids (life jackets), then we set off to do the activities. It was so much fun and we all got quite wet! Luckily, we brought spare clothes. Some of us fell or jumped in during the activities, but those who didn’t and wanted to get wet did the ‘Whitlingham Wave’ which is where you flick water in the air and then fall backwards into the water. It was really fun and we all had a great time.

Denmark Class at the zoo

Today Denmark class joined year one on a trip to Banham Zoo. We had a brilliant time seeing lots of animals and the children were especially excited to see the baby sloth. We finished our fantastic trip with a ride on the train and a play in the playground.

Well done, Year 6!

The Year 6s have had a very busy half term getting ready for – and completing – their SATs tests. They were absolutely brilliant during SATs week – they were so focused; they kept up their positive attitudes; and they worked really hard in each test. We are very proud of them all!

Here are a selection of photos from some more exciting events in the last few weeks  – decorating cupcakes as a reward for doing holiday homework, and enjoying a lovely afternoon with Sarah at the stART studio.

Denmark Class Maths

This week in Denmark class we have been learning about statistics in maths. We started learning about block diagrams and completed our own block diagrams. The teachers gave us each 20 skittles and we had to record how many skittles of each colour we had. We could then use mathematical sentences to talk about the number of each colour we had and how this compared to our friends. The highlight of our lesson was getting to eat our skittles once we had finished!

China Class Bee Café – Open for Busy-ness!

This half term, the Reception children have been learning all about bees (and other pollinators) and how important they are to the natural world.  We have spent time learning Pie Corbett’s story, ‘The Sleepy Bumblebee’ and have read the A A Milne classic, ‘Winnie the Pooh Saves the Bees’, as well as lots of non-fiction books, and have been observing the bees in our own garden.  Having found out that bees are being threatened by the removal of so much of their natural food supply, the children decided we should create our own bee café.  With a bit of careful research, we found some pollinator-friendly plants and even created a special bee water station, complete with stepping stones to stop them getting wet.  The finishing touch was the addition of some orange chunks for the butterflies!  The children also had lots of fun and practised their phonics skills whilst making some posters to let the bees know that their new café is officially open!

Year 5 StART Studio Trip

On Monday 27th April, we went on a trip to the StART Studio in Wymondham. We are completing a school art project as part of our 150 year anniversary of Browick. Here is what we did:

Step 1: Sarah took a photo of us and printed it ready for us at the studio. We then flipped over the photo and covered the back of the page in graphite. 

Step 2: We flipped our photo back over and put it on the canvas. 

Step 3: We drew over the features of our faces with pencil which left a mark on the canvas (because of the graphite). They turned out great!

Step 4: We took the photo off the canvas and went over the graphite lines with coloured pastels – all different colours. 

Step 5: We then used acrylic paints going for either hot colours for the background and cold for the face, or vice versa. We splodged on the acrylic paint trying not to be too perfect because nothing really is. 

The paintings looked really great and we really enjoyed it.

Police Visit

On Wednesday 15th April, we had a police constable – PC Hayley McNeil – come to the school to give us some facts about being a police officer. She let us wear some equipment and we got to ask lots of questions. We got to try on some equipment such as; police coats, hats, gloves, and utility vests. She told us that the age you are allowed to be arrested is 10 years and that you are allowed home alone when your parents think you are responsible enough to handle an emergency. Pc McNeil has lots of responsibilities in her job such as preventing crime, keeping people safe, being a first aider, a social worker, a coach, and many more. 

We learnt lots and had lots of fun trying on the uniform.

Year 6 Residential to Norfolk Lakes

The Year 6 class had a fantastic time on their residential trip last week. They enjoyed a range of adventurous activities including climbing, archery, obstacle courses, kayaking, paddle-boarding and more! The whole class took part in every activity and tried their best in everything – with lots of people climbing higher than they thought they would, or surprising themselves by jumping in the lake at the end of paddle-boarding! They also had two fun evenings with a disco and a camp fire, and they enjoyed being able to share rooms with friends and having three excellent cooked meals a day. 

We all had a great time away and are very proud of the class for their teamwork, resilience and enthusiasm.

Here are a LOT of photos from the trip for you to enjoy!
