Year 6 - Our Trip to the Parliament!
Have you ever wondered what actually goes on in the House of Commons and the House of Lords? Or perhaps you've been curious about how laws are passed, or how our country is governed? Well, our Year 6 class have got you covered! This week, our oldest students took a trip down to the Parliament building where they visited the House of Commons, the House of Lords, Westminster Hall and Victoria Tower. They had the great opportunity to build their political knowledge and develop their debating skills during a bespoke workshop. Our students were also able to dissect the roles and responsibilities of an MP (there are about 650 of them in total!) and even had a great Q&A session!
Year 5 - Pottery!
Our Year 5 class certainly got creative as they created the first part of their pottery creations! Their artistic skills have begun to shine through, and we're looking forward to seeing how they turn out! Stay tuned for the next few weeks to see the finished products!
Reception - A Creepy Crawly Adventure!
There are so many fascinating aspects to insects, things we've probably never even thought about past the fact that they're small and slightly creepy ... but there's so much we can learn about them too! For instance, did you know that an average ladybug may eat more than 5000 insects in its lifetime? We certainly didn't! Our Reception class has been investigating different creepy crawlies during this week, and even went on a playground hunt to see whether they could find a stray snail or wriggly worm in one of BHA's nooks and crannies! Armed with magnifying glasses too, our Reception students were ready for a great adventure!
Year 6 - Experimenting with Light
You can always expect to discover something fun when science is involved and our Year 6 students discovered this first-hand as they investigated how light travels in a straight line using a mirror and a torch! If their huge smiles are anything to go by, we'd say that it was a successful, and enjoyable, science lesson! And in case you were wondering why light travels in a straight line and doesn't just bounce all over the place, it's because it travels like a wave and chooses to travel the smallest distance between two points.
