June 2021
Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome to the June issue of BOB. What an array of learning we have to share with you this month-children developing skills and learning
knowledge that will be of use, not only as they travel their journey through education, but also for life as they grow! Enjoy!
Mrs Green ☺
We try new things in Nursery Bringing Science learning to life in UKS2
In Science, UKS2 have been learning about the children
circulatory system and here you can see them acting out the
process, following the figure of 8. The children stopped at
various points to explain where they were in the body using
scientific language and whether they were oxygenated (oxygen
present) or deoxygenated (oxygen removed)
.
As part of their topic all about food, Nursery children have been
trying an assortment of vegetables. These included: leeks,
swede, beetroot, bean sprouts and sweetcorn. There were mixed
reactions-some children were reluctant to try, others tried them
all! A bar chart was made to show their favourites, with
sweetcorn coming out on top, followed by swede, with leek the
least favourite.
Fashion designers of the future in LKS2!
In previous editions of BOB you will have seen the vibrant tie dye t-shirts children in year 3/4 have created and here you see the
children in Redwood class proudly wearing their finished garments. The children’s final task was to create designs, choose and cut
out their fabric-neatly and accurately-finally using running stitch to attach the designs to their t-shirts. The designs included footballs
(can't think why) flags and initials.
I think you’ll agree, they look fabulous!
We have super heroes in KS1!
In Art, KS1 have started a unit of learning on Sculpture and Mixed Media. Based on the
work of Roy Lichtenstein, children worked in pairs to create a composition with
superhero figure outlines, splashes, action words, adding texture, definition and pattern to
a piece.
In the first lesson, children posed in a superhero stance for their partner to sketch and then
they used pipe cleaners to turn their drawing into a three-dimensional form.
How would you advertise for a prehistoric monster hunter? A Sewing Bee champion of the future!
In English, LKS2 have started investigating the shape (the
sections and content) of a persuasive job advert.

definitely need someone who has experience and training for
such a role, but we are going to need to be very persuasive in
our advert!
Collaborative learning at its best… Woodland Wednesday-learning together outside
In computing, children in UKS2 have been working on their
coding skills using Purple Mash: learning how to make Recently, Nursery children worked together to create and
sequences of commands and repeat using the timer and repeat construct a beautiful nature mobile during their Woodland
functions to design simple programs. They were very creative Wednesday learning. The children love to learn alongside each
and worked excellently in their partnerships to explore other new other outside-visiting the woods whatever the weather!
commands too, including adding sound and collision
commands.
Making music in LKS2 Defibrillator Fund Raising
In LKS2, the children have been learning a song about kindness, One of our year 6 students is raising money to purchase a
respect, friendship, acceptance and happiness-everything that defibrillator, and here’s why:
we value at Bosmere!
I decided to raise money for Christian Eriksen because he
collasped whilst playing football in the Euros. They had to use a
defibrillator to bring him back to life. I thought I could raise
money for a defibrillator in case it happened to anyone else. I
have enough money to get one and I have biked 30 miles out of
100 so far. They cost £1500 and I got that in 2 and a half weeks.
I have 1 and a half weeks left to bike/run
70 miles.
Wow what a lovely generous thing to do.
Well done!
Part of the learning was to learn how to play the Glockenspiel
too. Children accompanied the song whilst playing their
Glockenspiels-not an easy thing to do.
Mrs Green and Mrs Mckeon had an argument!
…well, not quite, it was very civilised really! UKS2 children invited both Mr Mckeon
and Mrs Green to be interviewed to share their thoughts on children’s screen time
use. Mrs Green took the position of promoting screen usage and Mr Mckeon took
the stance of being against.
The children asked great questions and really probed their thinking, taking lots of
notes on Mrs Green and Mr Mckeon’s responses in preparation for writing their own
balanced arguments.
