Look at what we've been doing

Science Fair (12th and 13th March)

Our annual science fair has taken place this week.  Classes had so much fun and were amazed by the scientific experiments that were shared.  Our Science Ambassadors excelled themselves in their explanation of the science within the experiments and were well supported by our teaching students who organised and led the activities.  We were also supported by parents who came to share their science-linked careers.  Well done Burnt Tree!

 

World Book Day (7.3.24)

Today we celebrated World Book Day across school.  We started the day with an assembly with our visiting author, Angela Marie James.  She read lots of her wonderful poetry to us and we learned about her career.  Each key stage had a workshop with her too during the day: 'Guess the animal', 'Poetry can be about anything' and 'Abandoned House' poetry.  These were really interactive and lots of fun.  Angela also met with our school council and librarians where they interviewed her and found out a lot about her career and life.  She was really inspirational! 

In our classes we took part in a live, online event with a range of authors and illustrators.  We also did other reading linked activities which included writing book reviews, sharing our favourite stories, creating dream jars and a scavenger hunt which taught us how to use our school library properly.  We held a whole school competition where we had to use a paper plate to create a character linked with a book - we had over 200 entries!  Angela had a tough time choosing one winner per class!  Staff had a great day too - even our teaching students dressed up!

Y3/Y4 football competition (28.2.24)

Today, children from Y3 and Y4 took part in a football competition, held at the West Bromwich Dome.  The children played in a 6-a-side tournament against other schools. They played fantastically well and represented our school with a polite and mature attitude. Well done children!

 

Rebecca Adlington (7.2.24)

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Rebecca Adlington to Burnt Tree!  She talked to us about her career, her Olympic experiences and most importantly, water safety.  She even bought her medals for us to see!

 

 

West Midlands Police Museum (30.1.24)

Our Family Support Worker, Miss Gamwell, took a group of Year 5 children into Birmingham to visit the Police Museum.  They had a really fantastic day exploring how forensics are used in crime scenes, trying on police uniforms and even being 'locked' in the cells!

 

 

 

The Violence Reduction Partnership (Y6)

Our Virtual Reality experience was superb!  We learned about anti-social behaviour and how to deal with certain situations.

Christmas 2023

Our Christmas celebrations have been amazing!!!  We even had a visit from Father Christmas himself!

Remembrance 2023

'We remembered them' by creating class wreaths and crosses.  We all gathered for an assembly and held two minutes' silence.  Lest we forget.
