👑📚 A Royal Surprise for Year 6! 📚👑
What an exciting delivery we received at Badger Hill Academy today! A very special parcel arrived in the post, addressed to our Year 6 children, all the way from Buckingham Palace and Queen Camilla herself.
Inside was a beautiful ...special edition of Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell, complete with a personal message from the Queen and a special hallmark on the front cover reading 'The Queen's Birthday Present'. 👑
Our Junior Leaders of Reading, Inara and Evelyn, could barely contain their excitement as they rushed down to Year 6 to share the wonderful news, read the letter to their classmates and hand out the books. 📖💜
Happy reading, Year 6! What a wonderful surprise and a very special gift to treasure. After all, it's not every day you receive a present from the Queen! 🌟

📚 Year 6 RE 🌟
Year 6 have been learning about how Sikhs use symbols to show commitment to their faith. They explored the Five Ks worn by Khalsa Sikhs, discovering what each symbol represents and why they are important in Sikhism. 🙏
Well done, Year 6, for your thoughtful ...work and developing your understanding of different religious beliefs! 👏

🏔️ 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. 🌟👏
