🏔️ Year 3/4 Geographers 🗺️
Miss Cook was blown away by our Year 3/4 geographers as they completed their Review on a Page (ROAP), showcasing just how much they have learnt throughout their mountains topic.
From their initial Subject on a Page (SOAP) to their final ROAP, ...the children demonstrated fantastic geographical knowledge and understanding, including:
🏔️ Key mountain features and ranges
🌍 How fold mountains are formed
🌱 How plants and animals adapt to survive in harsh mountain environments
🥾 Jobs and occupations in mountainous regions
🗺️ Using Ordnance Survey maps, including Ben Nevis, and four-figure grid references with the rule “along the corridor, then up the stairs”
What an impressive display of geographical knowledge and curiosity!
We are incredibly proud of the progress the children have made and how confidently they can now demonstrate their learning. 🌟👏

🌟💜 Staff Spotlight 💜🌟
It’s time to shine our Staff Spotlight on another member of the Badger Hill team. This week, we’re getting to know Miss Wilson, who joined us as an apprentice last year but has actually been part of the Badger Hill family for much longer than that! ...
Have a read to discover why Miss Wilson feels like she never really left Badger Hill, which much-loved children's story she enjoys bringing to life, and how her passion for netball led to a very special invitation to the England Netball Awards.
From starting at Badger Hill as a three-year-old to returning as a member of staff, Miss Wilson has certainly come full circle. Once a Badger, always a Badger!
Proud to be a Badger 🦡💜

Year 1 and 2 Art – Inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat 🎨
Our Year 1 and 2 children have been exploring the bold, colourful and expressive artwork of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. 🌈
They started by creating mood boards inspired by his work, before experimenting with different ...types of lines, shading and tones using HB pencils. They also explored colour mixing, creating their own warm and cool colours. 🎨
Bringing all their skills together, the children created their own fantastic pieces using paint and oil pastels, taking inspiration from Basquiat’s unique style while adding their own creative ideas. ✨
We’re so proud of our young artists and their amazing creativity! 🌟
