Brays School

So the first week back and time to give a shout out and thanks to Graceful Hands, Making The Change. who have once again supported our half termly topic with accessible resources. We’re sure you’ll agree - fantastic transport options for the children.

If you want to know more about what each class will be learning this half term you can find the home school overviews on our website https://brays.fet.ac/parents/curriculum-offer/curriculum-overviews/

To all in our school community…….

Wow what a day - Around the World on Diversity Day. 🌍

To be clear, we don’t just have a day to celebrate diversity as it’s woven into our whole curriculum through choice of texts, resources etc and our whole approach to life at school

Today classes took their passports and visited a range of countries / continents through school.

Children visited Mexico where artistic taco making was a success. 🇲🇽

Their trip to the Middle East saw great problem solving as they deciphered their name in Arabic and created dessert scenes using spices.

In Africa children explored Jolof rice and responded to African music playing traditional African instruments.

In North America children made flags and explored a range of music genres including blues and jazz. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

In Antarctica children felt the freezing temperature of resources (very welcome today).

Europe was a whirlwind whistle stop to Spain, Holland and Italy. Recreating the leaning tower of Pisa was a firm favourite. 🇮🇹 🇳🇱 🇪🇸

Asia saw children visiting both China and Japan working together to create a beautiful blossom tree. 🇯🇵

Australia 🇦🇺 saw children explore Bondi beach and make their own boomerang.

A truly wonderful day living our value of and learning about other countries and cultures.

We’re beyond excited for tomorrow.....

Two of our classes take part in The Primary School Enterprise Challenge.

A small team of finalists will get to represent Brays in Doncaster in on June 16th (an overnight stay on the 15th).

Take a look at the video from last year's final, if you look closely you will see some familiar faces.
