On Thursday 21st September Year 2 had Grandma Linda in to visit to talk to the children about going to school in the past.

The children all prepared questions and asked them and got lots of interesting knowledge about schools in the past! 

Grandma Linda even showed us the pen that she used to write with!

On Thursday 14 September we welcomed parents into school for an opening morning where they enjoyed taking part in activities and to see what work their child has been doing.

We thank all parents/carers who attended – it was a great chance for them to see what learning looks like at Braunstone Frith Primary Academy.

Our pupils identified the need for an activity hub at Braunstone Frith Primary Academy to tackle the very low adult activity levels within the school’s local community.

We need your help in pledging donations for Leicester City Council to develop the project.

Go to Space Hive Braunstone Frith to make your pledge today.

Year 1 had a fantastic trip to a Synagogue this week. The children learnt about the different parts of the Synagogue and were shown the Torah. The children were then able to look at different items that are used in the Jewish faith. We had a great time and learnt a lot.

Year 2 recently went on a trip to the Art Gallery where they got ideas for creating their own Art Gallery in school as part of their REAL LiFE mission. The children enjoyed exploring the different pieces of Art and seeing what made a good Art Gallery.

Year 1 recently enjoyed a trip to Conkers where they took part in fun activities.

We are pleased to announce that Gareth Lloyd has been elected as the school’s new Parent Governor. Congratulations to Gareth! All of us at school are looking forward to working with him.

A big thank you to all of you that voted and well done to Niyomi Fife too, the votes were very close and it takes a lot of courage to stand for an election.

Just before half term 32 pupils from Years 4, 5 and 6 had a fantastic day at Saffron Lane Athletics Stadium.  The children represented BFPA wonderfully where they demonstrated superb REACH IT qualities, particularly integrity, challenge and teamwork.  Well done to each of them for trying their best and achieving so much.

Paiyton and Malaki both came away with medals for their outstanding effort in the long jump and sprint. It was a very warm day and needless to say that by the end of it we were all a little sunkissed.

On Friday 19 May Year 6 children took part in some essential first aid training.  It was delivered by someone from The Red Cross, which is a charity that helps to provide life saving skills.

During the lesson, the children explored different scenarios and acted out how to deal with the situations.  They learnt how to care for someone with a burn, a seizure, a cut, a bump on the head and people who have fallen unconscious.  

At the end of the lesson, the children were introduced to a resuscitation dummy (Annie) and had a go at giving it compressions, checking for a response at the same time.

Although the children enjoyed learning these life saving skills, we hope they are never faced with a situation where they need to use them.
