The Year 6 students at Belmore Primary Academy have been attentively listening to an anti-discrimination workshop for 30 minutes. However, with one simple question, the classroom descends into anarchy.
“Do the boys let the girls play football with them at lunchtime?”
Thank you to our fabulous PTA committee for organising and hosting their very first event of the year, our 'Spooktacular' Halloween Disco.
In an unforgettable journey through time, Year 3 immersed themselves in the fascinating world of the Stone Age during an engaging and interactive workshop. With excitement in the air, they tried their hand at spear throwing and marvelled at fire-making demonstrations that showcased their incredible skills.
To mark Black History Month, Years 5 and 6 were fortunate to have the opportunity to take part in an African drumming workshop. It was an amazing experience to play traditional percussion instruments and work together creating rhythms.
We were taught a story to accompany each beat: the monkey climbed the vine; climb, climb, climb and the monkey climbed a big tree. We counted beats, rests and changed the pace.
Year 6 described this experience as “fun, amazing, informative, inspiring” and added “We really want to have the visitor back again!”
There was a sea of yellow in the school on Friday 13th October. Staff and children were invited to come to school dressed in yellow to raise awareness for World Mental Health Day.
Thank you from Nikki Morgan to all who helped put on the MacMillan Coffee morning together. Thank very much to everyone for your generous donations in support of such a good cause today. We raised £285.50. Absolutely amazing!
Friday 29th September was National Teaching Assistants Day.
In Year 4 children looked at how different drinks affect our teeth, and the importance of brushing by doing a fun science experiment.
This term, Year 6 are learning about Evolution and Inheritance in Science. We have been answering the question "Why do offspring look different from their parents?" by looking at how genetics are passed on through DNA in our cells. We discussed the difference between inherited and environmental features and how this may vary even within the same family.
Some of the children who access our Warhol and Einstein intervention classes have been learning about the Colour Monster.
At Belmore, we believe that the students should have the opportunity to voice their opinions about things that happen in school.
Thank you to all those that attended the coffee morning. There was a fantastic turn out and great to see so many parents/carers attend our first coffee morning of the new academic year.
