This will mean that the total cost for the visit will be £134 per pupil.

Summer Choir Concert – ’25

Several children in KS2 took part in a mixed choir concert at the Village Hall this term. They joined “Of One Accord” and “Brown Clee Community Choir” to perform a series of different songs. We even had two brillaint performances by Sam R on the cornet – alongside Zac accompanying him on the piano for one of these.

The singing on show was spectacular, and we are hoping for another joint choir performance around Christmas time – where we would love to take an even bigger contingent of pupils for the next performance.

Pentecost Art

The children in Bees have been learning about Pentecost. We read the story from the bible and then created a picture story board and wrote about Pentecost, retelling the story in our own words. We then looked at some pieces of art that showed Jesus returning to earth as the Holy Spirit after his ascension to heaven. From this, we produced our own piece of art using oil pastels.

Well done Bees, your pictures are beautiful. They are going on display at St John The Baptist Church Ditton Priors if your family would like a closer look.

Bees Sewing

Bees have finally finished their sewing! Mrs Cains, Miss Burton, Mr Smith and Mrs Davies are very proud of their achievements. They have learnt lots of new skills including sewing buttons, fasteners and lots of new sewing techniques and stitches. All the children have been amazing at sewing, showing excellent concentration and perseverance and what they have produced is all their own hard work. They designed their covers based on our class read, The Iliad and the Odyssey. Their designs were inspired by their understanding of the events of the story. Well done Bees. Your covers look great!

FOBCS Easter Egg Photo Challenge

On the last of term, the whole school took part in a photo search challenge. 30 different images of animals were hidden around the school grounds.

 

Children were put into mixed groups of 5s and given an initial starting number and had to find which animal was located there. Once they’d found it, they wrote it and down, had it checked and were given another. The challenge was to find 10 animals in the allocated time to win an Easter egg.

 

All the teams worked fantastically well together – and it was a wonderful way for us to all round off a brilliant Spring term .

 

Congratulations to Lexi – who correctly guessed the name of the Easter bunny: “Piglet”.

 

A big thank you to FOBCS for donating all of the Easter eggs and the Easter Hamper.

Sewing in Bees!

Today we have continued to learn how to sew. Last week we looked at how to thread a needle and how to sew a basic running stitch and today we have learned how to sew an enhanced running stitch and how to complete a cross stitch. We are having to concentrate really hard as some of us have never sewed before and are learning a new skill. We are enjoying our Friday afternoon sewing activity. We are working towards creating an embroidered story panel based on our class novel The Iliad and the Odyssey. However, we have a long way to go and lots more stitches to learn!
