Year 6 Out & About!
Thu 30 Jan 2020Our Year 6 children have had a very busy week - last Friday they visited Stockport Air Raid Shelters and participated in an immersive WW2 themed day. Dressed as evacuees, they performed gas mask drills, did 1940s-style housework and learnt about the 1 mile of tunnels underneath Stockport Town Centre which housed some 4000 people during war-time air raids. As always, they were superb ambassadors for BCS and we were very proud of them. (please see the Year 6 page of the website for lots more photos!)
Then on Tuesday Year 6 participated in Crucial Crew, a multi-agency event which taught them life skills to keep themselves and others safe as they become more mature and independent.

Fundraising Updates
Thu 09 Jan 2020We are often humbled by the generosity of our families, helping us to raise money for a range of charities. In December for Ugandaid we raised £1004.87 from the Infant Nativities and £1,009.99 from the Junior Carol Service collection. This money will be used to fund the education of students, who are learning a trade in order to support their families and take them out of poverty. Our ‘Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day’ raised £802.25 to help children around the world. Thank you to everyone who has supported these events. -
Making our world a better place.
Thu 09 Jan 2020Before Christmas, 2N were looking at the effects that palm oil farming has on wildlife, in particular the Orangutans. Cameron Jones instigated a class mission to raise enough money to sponsor an Orangutan for a year and 2N were successful! They were busy doing jobs at home for money and instead of raising the £60 needed to sponsor, they raised £70! This also inspired India Castle in 2N to write to Nutella, who use palm oil in their food, and ask them to stop. She received a very nice letter back explaining that although palm oil is used in their food, it is farmed sustainably. This was a relief as I’m sure there are a few Nutella fans who wouldn’t want to give it up! It is so wonderful to see our children doing their bit to make the world a better place and they have certainly made us all at BCS proud, upholding our ‘Golden Value’ of kindness. Well done 2N
