BMIS swimmers made us proud in the way they presented themselves, the way they competed and in the way they showed support for each other. It is truly pleasing to see how the swimmers came together and encouraged each other. Their hard work and determination paid off as some received individual medals while others got relay medals. I would like to commend all the swimmers for their hard work and determination last weekend.

The FS1 Topic this half term is ‘All About Me’. This week, the children have been learning about ‘our families’. They brought family pictures from home and showed and share them with the other children during circle time. We have also been learning about different feelings and emotions. The children had a go talking about the different feelings. They then made a mobile of faces showing different feelings and emotions. In Literacy, we have been listening to different environmental sounds as part of the Letters and Sounds Phase 1. The children made big ears and went on a listening walk around the school. They listened out to different environmental sounds and it was great to hear the children talk about what they heard during the walk.

As part of their GCSE PE course the Year 10 have to complete a unit on diet and healthy eating. To make sure that the students practice what they preach they were given the challenge of creating a healthy lunch fit for an athlete. The students were required to explain why each element that they had included would be helpful for an athlete in training. The results were pleasantly surprising and they worked well as a team to create lunch for ten people.

The Primary House Captains were voted in this week.

These children will be responsible for leading their houses in house competitions both sporting and academic. Well done.
