💚 FOOTPRINTS IN THE COMMUNITY – REDCAR FOODBANK 🥫
At the start of the week, we were joined by Fiona from Redcar Foodbank, who shared all about the amazing work they do to support people in our local community. 💚
It was eye-opening to learn that over 250 people access ...the different foodbanks across Redcar and Cleveland, including our local foodbank at the Methodist Church in Brotton.
Fiona shared how people collecting a food parcel are welcomed with a cuppa and a chat ☕. These small acts of kindness, friendship and connection can make such a huge difference, helping people feel valued, supported and less alone.
We also enjoyed hearing about the other fantastic projects supporting local people and families, including First Steps, which provides baby and children’s clothing and equipment, and New Start, which helps people set up a home with essential household items. 🏡
We were particularly touched to hear about the Over-50s Project, where adults can enjoy a home-cooked meal and, just as importantly, the company of others. ❤️
🥫 HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
As a school, we are keen to support this wonderful work, so we are holding a school collection for donations.
The items most needed at the moment are:
🧴 Toiletries, such as shampoo, toothpaste and soap
🥔 Tinned potatoes
Every donation, however small, would be greatly appreciated and will help make a real difference to people in our local community.
We are so grateful to Fiona and everyone involved at Redcar Foodbank for the kindness, compassion and dedication they show every day. Their work is about so much more than providing food; it is about bringing people together, offering a listening ear and making sure no one feels forgotten. 💚
We are proud to support such an important part of our local community.

🌿 LIVING THINGS AND THEIR HABITATS 🌿
This half term, our Year 1/2 children have been exploring the fascinating world of living things and their habitats.
We began by learning to identify things that are alive, dead and have never been alive. The children did a fantastic job ...sorting objects and had some brilliant discussions about materials such as wood, recognising that it was once part of a living tree. They also loved exploring the school grounds to find objects that fitted into each of these groups! 🌳
Next, we explored what living things need to survive and learned about life processes. The children had some fantastic discussions about how plants move, even when we can’t see it happening. They were fascinated to watch a sped-up video of a fern unfurling its leaves! 🌱
We then turned our attention to habitats, investigating how different plants and animals are suited to the environments in which they live. The children showed great understanding of the needs of different creatures and why some can survive in certain habitats but not others. 🐾
🔎 What’s next? We’ll be bringing our learning a little closer to home as we investigate the school grounds to discover the different microhabitats living right on our doorstep!
Well done, Year 1/2, for your brilliant curiosity, thoughtful discussions and enthusiasm for Science! ⭐

Celebrating Black History Month at Badger Hill Academy ✊🏿
To celebrate the start of Black History Month, on Thursday, Y1-Y6 children took part in a PictureNews live assembly led by Swarzey, the award-winning BBC radio host and presenter.
Black History Month is an important time ...for us to celebrate the achievements, contributions and stories of black people, both past and present. It gives us the opportunity to learn about the people who have helped shape our world, like Rosa Parks, recognise the challenges they have faced and celebrate the positive impact they have made on society. It also reminds us of the importance of equality, respect and understanding, ensuring that everyone’s history, culture and experiences are valued and celebrated.
This year's theme is about 'Honouring our Communities. Black History Month is not just about looking back at the past; it is also about thinking carefully about the future we want to create together. We finished the assembly with three important messages:
🌍 You don't have to be famous to make history;
🌍 Big change starts with small acts of kindness;
🌍 So go out, lift others up and make history in our community. ❤️
