Cultural Day FUN!

The Robins class learnt all about India today! We started the day with finding India on the map, located some oceans around it and learnt about some of the famous landmarks. One of them was all about the Golden Temple. Miss Sangha taught us some facts and showed us some pictures of it from her recent trip to India. We were lucky enough to see other pictures from her trip too. 

Here are some pictures...

Miss Sangha then taught us all about the Indian Flag. She told us how the different colours mean something, for example, the orange strip means strength, the white strip means peace and the green strip means growth. The symbol in the middle (Dharma Chakra) represents truth. 

Here are some pictures of us creating the Indian flag...

Miss Sangha then taught us how to count up to 10 in Punjabi. It was really fun!

Here's a video of us counting...

To end the day, we learnt all about Bhangra dancing! Miss Sangha showed us some moves and listened to some Punjabi music. 

Here's us having a bogie...

As well as this, we got to show off our own cultures and what our traditions are. 

It was really lovely! ⭐

Palm Sunday fun!

The ROCKING Robins class learnt all about Palm Sunday today with the help of City Mission. Our special visitor, Charis, taught us all about this! We role played, answered lots of questions, sang songs, created a story board about Palm Sunday and spent the afternoon creating a collage. It's been a really lovely day! 

Here's some highlights...

BMPS celebrate World Book Day in style!

Yesterday marked our annual celebration of World Book Day! As always, children (and staff) celebrated this day in style. We had lots of superheroes, fairytale characters, Harry Potters, children dressed as Matilda, Willy Wonkers and lots of other creative characters! 

We started the day with a whole school assembly where Mr Adams, a.k.a Sherlock Homes talked through costumes that children had come dressed as. Teachers planned in lots of fun activities linked to reading which gave children a chance to show their love of reading. They took part in a 'pair and share' at the end of the day too. Each class were teamed up with another class so they could share their favourite book brought in from home. It was really lovely!
