It was lovely to see so many parents supporting the Year 6s during the open afternoon.Ā Everyone worked really hard on decorating their coronation nets.
At the end of the week, the children used their completed nets to create a carry case for their coronation cup cakes – which were delicious!
Let’s hope that King Charles III had as much fun on his special day as we did.
To mark 30 years since the tragic loss, we wore Stephen Lawrence’s favourite colour – orange!
The theme for World Earth Day 2023 was “Invest In Our Planet”. To celebrate this, on Friday 21st April, the Eco-Ambassadors went to City Hall in Leicester for a Plastic Clever Schools Conference. The conference was the first of its kind, providing schools the opportunity to start their journey towards reducing single use plastics!
During the day, the ambassadors learnt a lot about single use plastics and started to develop a campaign to reduce plastic in our school community.
If you have any ideas on how we could reduce single use plastics at BFPA, please let the Eco-Ambassadors know at [email protected]

Year 4 pupils recently took on a Real LiFE mission to become conservationists.Ā
The children visited the forest school area to find out the school grounds’ habitat. Year 4 also worked with Earthwatch to plant over 600 trees and shrubs which will create a tiny forest within our school grounds.
Our Real LiFE Missions link childrenās learning across the curriculum and in Year 4 Design and Technology, the children have enjoyed designing and building bug hotels in their mini-crews. They had to use many of the REACH-IT attributes in order to successfully achieve the goal together.
The Year 4 pupils brought their computer learning to LiFE by creating Blogs about their Real LiFE Mission. A blog, short for weblog, is a frequently updated web page used for personal commentary or business content.
Our Real LiFE Conservationist Mission has allowed Year 4 children to become advocates for the protection of our local habitats by all taking part in a showcase event where the children shared their learning with their parents/carers.
When the parents of Year 4 came to the showcase event, they were impressed by the childrenās passion about being conservationists and protecting local habitats.
On Tuesday 21st March the children in Year 3 celebratedĀ becoming Real LiFE arborists.
They showed their families around our Tiny Forest’ and explained why trees are important. The presentation showcased their wider curriculum learning and ended with visitors planting an acorn and leaving with the knowledge of how to help all plants thrive.
It was World Book Day on Thursday 2 March and our pupils enjoyed getting creative and dressing as their favourite book characters.
