Year 5 & 6 residential to Bell Heath

In June, 48 children went to stay for three days and two nights at Bell Heath Residential Centre in Worcestershire.

 

 

 

 

One of our favourite team-building activities was the 'Trading Game'.
Teams have to collect and find a variety of natural objects and trade them for equipment to help build a shelter. The shelter had to be waterproof as rain is always forecast towards the end of the activity!

We also had to work together to create an environmental art exhibition in the style of Andy Goldsworthy.

We enjoyed supporting one another on the ropes course in the woods. Some parts of the course were more challenging than others!

 

 We tried really hard to hit the bulls eye in archery and had a big game of football before dinner.

At meal times, we sat on team tables and had to tidy and clean up after ourselves. The meals were lovely!

Some of us really faced our fears with rock climbing!

 

 

There were lots of problems to solve together over the three days! We had a fabulous time and the sun shone every day!
We can't wait to go again next year!

Year 5 & 6 Jewellery Making Club

Our Jewellery Club, led by Mrs Bibi one of our parents, currently meets after school on Thursdays. The results so far look remarkable and have been modelled by Saarah,  Muteh, Hassana and Loujyne. We wonder if you can identify the one made from coloured straws!!!!

 

 

Friends of Bordesley Green School Table Top Sale

School opened on a Saturday morning especially for the first ever Friends of Bordesley Green Table Top Sale. We had a huge variety of different stalls selling everything from second hand toys to personally hand crafted gifts. We had lots of customers and managed to raise lots of money for the school fund. The school would like to say a big thank you to the parents who helped to organise the event, everyone who set up a stall as well as everyone who came along to make the day a huge success.

Year 4 Visiting Artist

As part of our new Theme topic, we had have had the opportunity to do some block printing!  An artist visited our school and worked with each of the Year 4 classes to produce a whole class piece of work.  The patterns are traditional patterns used in Indian artwork, such as peacocks, paisleys, circles and stars. This is the work in progress and the finished product!
