This term, children from Years 3-6 represented Belmore at HHPSSA District Sports at Hillingdon Athletics Track. Children showed great skills in honesty, teamwork, commitment, having respect for others and understanding rules.
Sports Day at Belmore was fantastic for all year groups this year, who took part in fun sports activities and showcased their skills in competitive races.
The Belmore community cheered together when the teams were up and comforted one another when they were down. Everyone had a spectacular day competing against each other to win points for their house, and once all children had completed their Sports Day, the points were added and the winning house this year was St George!
Well done to all those children who earned points for their house and showed great sportsmanship throughout the whole day. Also, thank you to all the helpers from year 4, 5 and 6, you did a wonderful job helping us all.
Nursery were brilliant completing their very first sports day at Belmore! They completed a number of activities such as javelin, bean bag throwing and a mini long jump. They were amazing at following the year 6 instructions, especially when they were told they would be taking part in races at the last minute with no practise! But they did exceptionally well considering and lots of fun was had. Nursery's favourite race was the bat and beanbag race. Nursery would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff and Year 6's involved in helping them with their very first sports day.
Year 6 have had a fantastic weekend away at Marchants Hill PGL. The children stepped out of their comfort zones and fully threw themselves into activities such as abseiling, climbing and even experiencing the thrill of a giant swing! They also worked together in teams to manoeuvre around a sensory trail - while blindfolded! - and constructed a raft that could support all members of the group. Over the course of 4 fun-filled days, the Year 6's impressed the teachers and parents with their growing resilience, courage and independence. Well done!
On Tuesday 6th June, we held a coffee morning in partnership with Hillingdon Stronger Families. During the coffee morning, parents were introduced to the staff in the pastoral team and talk about how the aim in the future is to sign post services and community organisations to parents, as well as hold more coffee mornings.
During the half-term holidays, the children enjoyed making some bug hotels. We were very impressed with the different types of hotels made. We look forward to putting them in our garden area and watching what bugs arrive.
Year 6 students, congratulations on completing your SATs! As you prepare to embark on a new adventure, take pride in your accomplishments and the personal growth you've achieved. Remember that success is not measured solely by your SATs results but by your resilience, character, and determination.
In art, Year 6 have been looking at environmental artists and how their works provide a message. Themes have included global warming, animal and plant extinction and sustainability.
In Year 4, students have embarked on an exciting journey to explore the wonders of electricity and its immense impact on our lives. From lighting up our homes to driving technological advancements, electricity plays a vital role in powering the modern world. Let's dive into the electrifying discoveries made by these young minds and understand how this powerful force benefits humanity.
For their literacy narrative, the children in Year 3 have been exploring what happens when the main character, who is scared by noises in the walls, falls asleep with her comfort toy, only to have bad dreams. The children have been using powerful adjectives and descriptions to write about her nightmare.
The children have been learning about the different seasonal changes in the UK. In Geography, they have learnt about the four seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter and have looked at what happens to nature around us during the seasons.
In Science, they have been learning about how the length of the day changes and varies from season to season. They had a lot of fun investigating this using shadows and their shapes. They learnt that shadows will get longer during the day and will be at their longest at dusk, before the sun sets. They created shadow puppets, pretended their torches were the sun and tried to make the shadows longer and shorter.
