  2. This term, I personally enjoyed all the topics that we did in class from learning about forces in science to Travelling to the river sea of the Amazon. Although the most evaluated highlight of this school year so far was playing in the Poole School Football Tournament and wearing the proud Bearwood football shirt. Evan though we lost all 4 games with the first game as a team losing 0-7 with Daniel K scoring 2 two own goals and myself scoring 1 own goal. Second game was improved with a 0-4 loss, third game 0-4 and finally our last game against branksome 0-2, but personally I think that inside the team feels proud and glad that we’ve progressed as a team together and I think that that’s the main thing.

  3. At school I liked reading with holly 2 because they were really polite and they can read very well ,they could sound out words and read them altogether ,they are good at sharing and they take turns with the books .Also,at school I liked the zoom to zibo challenge because it is making people read more because people aren’t reading so i like that because it is making people read more and it is getting people excited because there is a trophy to each class that has the most points in there class who has read and who hasnt read.I like science because we have been experimenting parachutes and friction it has been really exciting doing it and writing what might happen next and working as a team.I love PE because we are working on doing the chive ,and it is really fun making up dances in groups or in partners .In outside PE we have recently been doing basketball, and we have learnt new skills like bouncing the ball with only 1 hand then bouncing the ball with both hands, side to side also at the end we do matches .Also,we have been going outside with maple 2 and going into groups with them and we have been playing lots of games with them in PE.I like maths because we have been doing addition and subtraction, we have been doing lots of tests about maths we had to do number problems ,and it is really fun working out the answer because it is exciting for me when i get a answer right.I love english because we have been dong lost of writing and planning of letters,to our story we are working on which is Journey to the river sea the book is really intresting and i want to find out more so i can write more in my work.I like doing RE because we are learning about the christmas story ,and we are starting to make the christmas story as a book are selfs for the yonger children ,so they can learn about the christmas story to.I like jigsaw because we are learning about celebrating differences and we are learning that everybody is unique and nobody is the same as someone else.

  4. In this term I have enjoyed PE over all my favourite has to be outdoor activities such as basketball, I like to play matches sometimes I score! In PE I have also liked dance because we made up our own routine and performed it to the class then gave comments to say what we could improve on. PE has been excellent and I really like it.

  5. I have enjoyed lots of things so far in maple 1 . i have mostly liked reading our book journey to the river sea . I think its great and very interesting learning about brazil and journey to to the river sea has taught me alot about it . Another thing i have liked in maple 1 so far is reading with holly 2 . I think it is nice to hear younger children read and it is very fun too. The final thing that i have enjoyed is science and in science we have been learning about forces . Learning about forces has been fun and very interesting . There are many more things i have enjoyed in maple 1 and i cant wait to learn more !

  6. Firstly, my favorite things we did this term were learning about journey to the river sea and doing PE. Although I wasn’t the best at the jive, I gave it a try and by the end of it , i definitely improved!!! It was also great learning about Brazil because I liked comparing the rich side of Rio de Jeneiro and the poor as well . Lastly, I would like to say that I really enjoyed doing experiments on forces. – Millie M1 🙂

  7. Recently, I have loved working on the book Journey to the River Sea because I like learning more about Maia and what she does with the twins, Mr Carter and Mrs Carter. Also, it is fun listening to what is happening in the story and what is going to happen.

    In fact, I liked reading with Holly 2 because it is fun reading with them and listening to them read as well. Also, I like to help them if they are stuck on any words that they don’t know. I hope that they had lots of fun too.

  8. In addition, I like English and Topic because English we lean about a book called Journey To The River Sea.Morever, in Topic we work towards a lesson about Brazil like the Borders like Argentina,Parguary,Boliva.However, in English I love to write because I like writing in pen.In addition, Miss Pickersgill and Mrs Mitson are the best teachers in the world.

    1. i have also enjoyed working on bearwood bargains and i think every one will enjoy it when we open it up after christmas !:) i think every on will come and buy lots of staitonary there

  9. One of the many highlights of my term is doing are experiments in science because we learning to do things by are selves and to actually take part in things as well.I also liked doing French because we learn the language of a different culture. As well as that being good and all I do also like reading with the little kids because for me it is a way of saying thank you to the teachers for helping me read,so now I will help you teach others to read.At the moment, we have been doing P.E with year 6 which I think is nice because we get to be mix not just with our friends but with other children as well.We have also learnt how to do the chive with our partners that we were in and it was so fun.I am also enjoying English as we are reading Journey to the River Sea which so far is very interesting because the characters all have different personalities which makes it more exciting and more wanting to read on.Linked to that, in Topic we are looking at Brazil where Maia lives and we are looking at what borders it and all different kinds of things like that.In Jigsaw we learning about something I think is very special, we are looking at celebrating differences and that we are unique because we have different talents, eye colour,DNAs all kinds of things that make us different to other people.Maths is a really fun lesson to talk about because there is so much to talk about. First I like that we get to solve all different kinds of problems and that in maths or in any lesson we NEVER get thing first try unless you have done it before.I also like the oppertunities that we got this term.The one thing I think I should mention is the BEST thing about this term is the teaching because it is the best thing I have had this term.

    1. I have also enjoyed RE because are look at the christmas story and how everyone has different appinion on how it goes because no body can tell us what really happened because they are all dead and we can’t even tell if it is true or not.

  10. In the autumn term I’ve enjoyed doing my English with my class because we have been learning about Journey to the river sea and while we were doing it I found it fun. The reason I found it fun is because in it, it has some ups and downs which I like. In this autumn term I have also liked my maths because not only do they make it fun they make it so sometimes it can be tricky and so it gets really fun because your just sunk into it, which I like. In that I also like doing problem solving with the methods because I really do like the methods in maths they’re just put there and they are really great things to do so that is why I really liked that. Also at the end of our second to last week we made these lanterns and then some people went to Poole to go to a lantern precession which they would sing a carol with other schools and hold our lanterns with them and then we would go back to school

  11. This year, I personally enjoyed science because when i’m older I wont to be an astronaut when i’m older. So science would really help, thank you. I really like PE as well because we learn about different types of sport. We also work together and help people by cheering them on.

  12. I liked the Bearwood bargain’s because it gives us a opportunity to learn more responsibility in are life .also I liked journey to the river sea I loved reading it because it is very interesting to learn about, also in English I liked creating are animals it was very fun to do my animal was Uinkitty it lived in space . in maths I liked doing different methods instead of Colom addition this is what I enjoyed doing.

  13. I have enjoyed bearwood bargains because i am stock control manager it has been a great term because i love beening with my friends.

  14. I have enjoyed doing Bearwood Bargains because I got to talk to my team about what job roles we wanted to get. Also I liked talking to my team about what we were going to sell and for the best prices. I found it really exciting when Mrs Mitson and Miss Pickersgill revealed our job roles, and some of us did not get the jobs we expected, but still got one. Next term I hope we do more activities with my team and make Bearwood Bargains a real success.

  15. What a term it`s been its really hard to chose my favourite thing but my best thing is the parachutes because I didn`t think it will work the end result was really surprising because my least one was acuracly the right one.
    HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!!!!!

  16. This autumn has been very exciting and fun! English has been very interesting because
    we have been gaining information about the amazing Amazon. Maths has been making
    our brains work hard and has been very useful for our future. I have loved every second of RE as we have been making pop up books on the Christmas story(very fun!) French has been fun and knowledge packed as I have learnt the story behind Bastille
    day!

  17. I have enjoyed the Pantomime because there was very good acting and my favourite actor was the genie because he came played different people wearing different clothes.

  18. My favourite part of year was RE with the Christmas story, I liked how we compared different stories. Also in English, I was very proud of my writing especially the Snarktog fact file because I loved writing about my made up animal.

  19. My favourite part this year so far is maths because I have loved developing my addition and subtraction skills, it has been amazing fun. As well as maths I have also liked science;it has been very fun and exciting to investigate forces. To finish it has been a lovely year so far!!!

  20. In this year I have enjoyed topic learning about Brazil, I found out a lot of interesting facts about Brazil like it is home to the biggest rain forest in the world and it is the biggest place in south america!I also enjoyed science because we were learning about forces and we made a lot of things like parachutes,then we learnt about friction,friction is when two forces rub against each other making friction on the bottom of your shoes are grips to stop you from slipping and sliding about and some times the grips get worn out by you walking in them so much. Also liked English by far because we have been reading the Journey to the River Sea and writing diary’s and creating our own animals!

  21. I have enjoyed lots of things this year but my most favorite was doing French with Mrs Brierley because you learn to speak a different language and learn about France

  22. I’ve enjoyed science, French, English and maths because some learning is a challenge for me. I have enjoyed reading Journey to the River Sea because I have learnt about the Amazon and the characters lifestyle, I am looking forward to hearing how it ends.

  23. This term has been really exciting, I have enjoyed setting up Bearwood Bargains. I have also enjoyed having our new teachers. I have liked learning new things in French with Mrs Brierley, she has taught me alot about the lanaguage and about France.

  24. i enjoyed, going to the pantomime to see alladin because it was nice to go too see something that ive never watched before with my friends . Also,we had ice cream [which was very nice] and my faviorite character was the genie because every time he appeared he started dancing and singing. I aloso enjoyed going to the lanton possesion because we got to sing all of the christmas songs. The last thing i enjoyed was bering the time capsule and digging up the old one because i wanted to see what people did back when the school started. AlsoI knew someone that was in the time capsule when the school first started.

  25. In this year I liked all of the maths and the sience.
    My favorit part of this year is probely the pe,maths,re and sience.
    I think this year is going to be the best because you are my Teachers.
    in this year I think I whill do good because the two best Teachers are teaching me.
    I hope the lesens whill stay fun and chalanging because I like a bit of a challeng. 😀

  26. Another thing I enjoyed was tight roping because you believe you can do it so everyone did it but for some people they need to have so confidence to believe in them self.

  27. Wow Christmas is over already . well what I mostly enjoyed is the Bearwood bargains because its fun and it would be fun for the other kids

  28. and what I also enjoyed is the trips the maths well basically every single lesson because I love school and they are fun however sonetimes I have my ups and downs
