🏑 Year 5 PE ⚽

Our Year 5 children have been developing their skills in invasion games throughout the half term, focusing on close ball control, trapping, accurate passing and distributing the ball effectively.

In their final PE lesson of the half term, they put their skills ...into practice through a series of drills before joining some of our Year 6 children for an exciting game of rounders.

It was wonderful to see everyone fully involved, encouraging one another and demonstrating fantastic teamwork and sportsmanship throughout.

What a brilliant way to round off a half term of hard work and progress. Well done, Year 5! 🌟👏

✏️💜 Little Hands, Big Learning! 💜✏️

Our 2-year-olds have been busy developing their mark-making skills while enjoying some tummy time.

This fun activity helps strengthen their core, shoulders and arms, building the stability and control needed for fine motor skills ...and early writing.

So much learning happening through play. 🐾

🎃👻 Halloween Fashion Show! 👻🎃

Mrs Brook couldn't resist a little Halloween fun when she spotted our KS1 children all dressed up and ready for the Halloween Disco. Naturally, she insisted on an impromptu Halloween Fashion Show. 😂

Cue some fabulous costumes, ...plenty of confidence and some very enthusiastic strutting down the corridor.

Who knew we had so many little models at Badger Hill? 🧙‍♀️🦇🎃

Following our nature walk last week, where we collected lots of different leaves and talked about autumn and the changes we can see, Reception have been exploring patterns using leaves. The children have been brilliant at spotting different sizes, colours and types of leaves and using them to ...create their own beautiful leaf washing lines outdoors. 🍂

🌟💜 PROUD to be a Badger! 💜🌟

Our Senior Leadership Team loved seeing so many wonderful examples of work from across the academy during PROUD today.

From Reception children writing CVC words, to KS1 conquering their Monster Tales and Year 6 showcasing their fantastic ...sonnets, there was so much to celebrate.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work, determination and progress shown by our children across the academy. Keep up the brilliant work, Badgers. 💜

🍂🌾 Harvest Festival 2026 🌾🍂

What a lovely afternoon we had celebrating Harvest Festival at St Margaret's Church, joined by parents, carers and members of our school community.

Our children came together to reflect on the importance of gratitude, kindness and ...helping others, with each year group contributing something special to the service.

🍁 Early Years delighted everyone with their performance of Dingle Dangle Scarecrow.

🍁 Years 1 and 2 proudly showed off the wonderful harvest art work

🍁 Year 3 shared a thoughtful harvest prayer.

🍁 Year 4 read messages from our Tree of Thanks, sharing some of the things our children, parents and carers are most grateful for.

🍁 Year 5 performed a harvest poem written in quatrains.

🍁 Year 6 did a fantastic job leading the service as our readers.

🎭 Our NETFEST performers had one more opportunity to showcase their incredible Night at the Museum performance, treating everyone to their wonderful singing and dance moves.

A special thank you to Reverend Elaine and everyone at St Margaret's Church for welcoming us so warmly, and to all the parents, carers and members of our community who joined us.

We are also incredibly grateful for the generosity of our school community. All the wonderful donations collected for Harvest will be given to Redcar Foodbank, helping to support local individuals and families who need it most.

💚 Supporting Our Local Community

We would also like to raise awareness of the support available locally. Our nearest foodbank operates from Brotton Methodist Church every Thursday, between 1.00pm and 2.30pm.

Other foodbank locations and further information can be found on the Redcar Foodbank website.

Harvest is a wonderful reminder of the importance of being thankful for what we have and showing generosity and kindness to others.
