Year 1 have been introduced to part-whole models this week. They have been using counters to find different ways to partition a range of numbers up to 10.

Year 3 have continued to delve into prehistory this week and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to build (and eat) biscuit henge!

Last week, Year 2 visited a synagogue to kickstart their learning about Judaism. This has really helped to bring their RE unit to life.

Today Year 1 enjoyed a sunny walk to the postbox. We have learning about our local area and where we live. We wrote our address on the front of an envelope and sent a postcard home inside it. We can’t wait for the postman to come!

In Squirrel class we have been creating cards poems to brighten someone’s day for Go Bright for Bodie. The whole class have come in bright and colourful clothes for the Bodie Hodges Foundation.

Year 6 are busy this afternoon thinking about ways that they can brighten up somebody’s day in aid of ‘Go Bright for Bodie’. Parents - you may be in for some nice surprises over half term!

In support of Go Bright for Bodie, Class Woodpecker took a moment to engage in a variety of creative ways to show their loved ones what they mean to them and why they make them a happier person. It has been a lovely way to round off an incredible start to the year.

Congratulations to all the children who represented Badgerbrook in the Blaby Cup at The Pastures School this week! ⚽️

Today, we went Bright for Bodie. We learned about The Bodie Hodges Foundation and the work they do to support families who have lost a child. In our KS1 and Year 3 assembly, we discussed kindness and how we could support the charity too.

Cross country was a massive success this week! Well done to everyone who took part! We are so proud!!!! #crosscountry #teambadgerbrook

Hedgehog class had a visit from Worry Bear Boo this morning after our Bright for Bodie assembly. They enjoyed waving and giving high fives!

As part of our Bright for Bodie day, Hedgehog class made kindness puzzles to share with someone they care about. We also decided on having a compliment captain and a helpful hero as two new classroom jobs.

Year 2 had a great day in London this week. They cruised the river Thames and found the site where Thomas Farriner’s. bakery once stood. It was a wonderful day of learning!

Well done to one of our boys football teams, great spirit and determination in the their Blaby Cup fixture with The Pastures School this week! ⚽️

Year 6 enjoyed an ASB Busters (anti-social behaviour) workshop from Blaby District Council today! We now know what anti-social behaviour is and what to do if we see it happening.

Congratulations to our girl's football team who won the Blaby Schools Pokemon Cup last night, super proud of you all!! ⚽️🏆 LSLSSP

The children at Badgerbrook have really enjoyed learning vibrant dances in the style of Bollywood and Indian folk dance this week! They were also taught about traditional props and how these are used.

Year 1 had lots of fun visiting Newark’s Houses Museum. They explored a range of past and present toys and discussed what each toy was made from and how this has changed over the years. After that, they really enjoyed looking around the museum and its gardens.

Hedgehog class have been busy designing, weighing, grating and kneading this week. They’ve made their own bread loaf with an added ingredient. Excellent work Year 2!

Owl Class have thoroughly enjoyed designing and building their Stone Age shelters - fit for any Lego Stone Age family! They chose to build their structures out of natural materials, binding sticks together to make a frame before adding suitable shelter from the wind and rain.
