Bishop Ridley CofE Primary School

On Wednesday, Year 4 had their Egyptian Workshop where they learnt about the Ancient Egyptians timeline and did some acting along the way. In the afternoon, as a part of their History topic 'Ancient Civilisations', the children were learning about the afterlife and even got to complete the mummification process on a tomato which they thoroughly enjoyed.

In KS1 on Friday, we had a very exciting visit from Ranger Stu, who brought along a variety of amazing animals for the children to meet and learn about! The children were fascinated to see and hear about a rat, snake, tortoise, lizard, tarantula spider, and even an armadillo.
It was a fantastic learning experience, helping the children build confidence, curiosity, and respect for wildlife. Thank you, Ranger Stu, for such an engaging and memorable visit! 🐍🦎🐢🕷️🦔

What a fantastic annual DT Day we had last Monday! Children took part in a range of different activities throughout the day, showing great creativity, teamwork and enthusiasm. A brilliant opportunity for everyone to develop new skills and enjoy learning in a practical way!

Over the last two weeks, Year 4 have been sewing a hem and added an embroidery inspired by William Morris who liked to used flowers, parts of plants and animals within his work. The Year 4 teachers are very thankful for Miss Cory's sewing club last year as it has clearly come in handy. Well done Year 4!

It’s been a very busy day in Chawla Class yesterday! The children have worked incredibly hard, and we are so proud of them for coming first in the attendance league for the third time this year—what a fantastic achievement!
They also had lots of fun making their own sandwiches and enjoyed a movie with popcorn as a special treat. A brilliant day all around—well done everyone! Have a happy Easter and enjoy your holiday!

The children had an amazing time at LEGO club this term! We discussed what makes a great city and what it would need to include. They then brought their ideas to life, working together to build a fantastic LEGO city full of creativity and imagination. It’s been wonderful to see how much fun they’ve had while sharing ideas and creating something together. Well done, everyone!

Our trip to Eltham Library was really fun and exciting. When we arrived, the librarian welcomed us and read us a lovely book, bringing the story to life with her expressive voice. She also showed us how we can borrow books for free, which made us even more excited to come back and read more. One of the best parts of the visit was going into the enchanted story garden, where we got to sit together and read a magical story. It was a wonderful experience that made us all enjoy reading even more.

Reception celebrated World Book Day by dressing up in their pyjamas and bringing their favourite book. The children also had the opportunity to listen to children from Year 6 and Year 4 reading stories to them, and they loved it.

Well done to the winners of the Bishop Ridley Road Safety Competition.

This competition was organised by Louie French (MP) to support the School Council’s road safety work as they have been standing up for others in the local community and encouraging adults to park sensibly and drive safely.

The winning entries received a stationery set from the House of Commons and had their posters printed in giant size to be displayed around the school area and The Green.

Well done to Eloise, Scarlett, Ernie and Daley Class

Year 4 have been super busy this week. On Monday, they visited Woodland Farm to enhance their learning from their Science unit 'Living things and their habitats. On Wednesday, they had their VR workshop where they got to experience climbing up Mount Everest which links with their new Geography topic next term: Misty Mountain Sierra. Later that day, they made their Bankura Horses made out of clay using a range of skills to help them. As you can see from the pictures, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

We are so pleased to announce that by taking part in the Rudolph Run we rasied a staggering £1605.21 for the Greenwich & Bexley Hospice. Thank you for all your support.
