We’ve had such a fun and busy week filled with learning, exploring, and embracing the changing seasons in Nursery.
Here’s a peak at what we’ve been up to this week:
✨ What Makes Us Unique: We’ve been learning all about our own features and what makes each of us special. ...Outdoors, the children got creative using natural loose parts to build amazing self-portraits. 🖼
🌧️ Autumn Adventures: We've been investigating all the magical changes taking place in nature. On Wednesday, we suited up in our full waterproofs and had the absolute best time jumping and exploring when we got caught in a real torrential downpour.
🍎 Autumn Apple Magic: We went apple picking and brought our harvest straight to the outdoor mud kitchen! The children have been busy whipping up delicious pretend apple pies, crumbles, and fresh apple juice.
What a fantastic week of hands-on learning! Have a lovely weekend, everyone.

✨ Junior Leadership Team Applications ✨
This week, our Year 6 children took an incredibly brave step as they read aloud their applications for a place on our Junior Leadership Team.
With roles including Head Student, Deputy Head Student, Curriculum Leader, Reading Leader, ...Wellbeing Leader, House Captains and Prefects, it was wonderful to hear our children speak so passionately about Badger Hill. 💜
Some were understandably nervous, but every single child stood up and shared something from their application. We were so proud of the confidence, courage and maturity they showed. They spoke thoughtfully about our Badger Values, learning across school, how they would like to support others and the qualities and strengths they recognise in themselves. ⭐
Mrs Brook also spoke to the children about the British Value of democracy and how everyone's voice counts. 🗳️ Later today, children across school will cast their votes for who they would like to represent them as our Head and Deputy Head Students.
With such a high calibre of speeches, choosing will certainly not be easy. The successful candidates will be revealed at Year 6's Fish and Tips evening.
Whatever the outcome, we are incredibly proud of every Year 6 child who put themselves forward. 💜

🌟 40/40 CLUB 🌟
Each week, our Year 6 children complete an arithmetic paper, with the challenge of maintaining or beating their own personal score.
A huge congratulations to Preston, who is the first pupil of this academic year to achieve an incredible 40/40 and earn his ...place in our 40/40 Club. 🏆
Preston was presented with his special 40/40 Club badge and certificate during our most recent Pride & Joy assembly.
What a fantastic achievement, Preston. Keep up the brilliant work. ⭐

✈️ Curiosity Club✈️
Our curious minds tackled an exciting question during our latest session: Does the size of a paper aeroplane affect how far it will fly? 📄🔍
Before testing, the children made some brilliant predictions:
The smallest plane will fly the ...furthest because it is the lightest.
The largest plane will fly the furthest because it has the biggest wings.
The smallest plane will fly furthest because a fighter jet flies faster than a larger passenger plane.
What fantastic scientific reasoning behind these ideas! 🌟
Working in pairs, the children folded paper aeroplanes using three different paper sizes. They carefully kept the folding technique the same for each plane to ensure a fair test.
We headed outside to launch our designs but, unfortunately, the adverse weather had other ideas and kept our planes grounded! 💨🌧️
Don't worry, though—next time, we’ll take to the skies inside or wait for clearer weather to test our planes and see which predictions were correct! Stay tuned! 🚀✨
