Camp Tip:5

Make sure you have everything you need for camp. Go through the check list and tick off each item one by one.

The children had a fantastic time at Bounce where Newton’s Laws of Motion came to life! Back in the classroom they reflected on their learning through writing captions to go with photos describing the impact of forces.

Cover it live: While we are on camp, you will be able to go onto the BHS website and click the ‘Year 3 Cover it Live’ site. Here you will be able to see what we are doing on camp. We try to include photos of as many children as we can but we can’t guarantee that all children will be photographed.

Well done to all the children in Year 3 who remember to bring fruit and vegetables to school for snack on ‘Fruity Friday’.

Please remember that we have a no nut policy at BHS due to some children having severe allergies. This includes peanut butter sandwiches and nuts in cookies or cakes.

Now the weather is turning cooler please be aware that it often gets a lot warmer throughout the day. Therefore please dress your child in layers that can be removed as necessary.

Forces in action!
