The whole school came together on Friday to commemorate 100 years since the end of the first world war. We all gathered in the KS1 playground with some special guests from the British Legion and Father Tim. Year three and the dance club showed us some dances they had been working on. Year four sang a melody of war time songs. Some children read out some poems and Oaks class sang a song one of the children had written for their homework. The bugler sounded the last post and we stood for two minutes silence. The children from each class then placed a reef on the stage underneath the thank you sign (which had been decorated with poppies the children had made in their classes). The children behaved impeccably and it was a very moving service.     

On the 31^st October John Bunyan hosted a boot camp event on the school field. We welcomed four different schools who brought ten year 3/4 children; we also had three teams ourselves. The children participated in a number of different exercises, which needed a lot of teamwork, determination and grit!

We would like to thank Mii Bootcamp who run the event and gave the children some new experiences.

On Wednesday 10th of October eight girls went to Witham Town Football Club to play in a tournament.

They played extremely well and came 4th out of 8, showing off all their skills they have been practicing in training!

Last week eight KS1 Children went to Beckers Green Primary school to participate in a Teddy Bear run. There were some outstanding individual performances.

All the points from each race went towards a team score; we came 2nd out of seven schools. Well done!

Bunyan Bear also enjoyed his day winning his race against the other teddies!

This term our topic has been the Vikings.

We have studied their way of life and looked at the human and physical geography of the Scandinavian countries they came from.

Year 5 have also been drawing Viking faces and artefacts, which we created as a model and clay face.

We had a Viking celebration to our parents, showing our work and the Viking bread we made.

The music celebration to our parents showed off our progress in performing a brass instrument.
