In Nursery this term we have been busy with the topic 'On the beach'. We have been exploring the seaside and all sea life creatures. We have been reading the story 'Barry the Fish with Fingers' and 'The Rainbow Fish'.
This term we've been scientists in Year One at William Byrd! Each week we have been learning different scientific enquiry skills, with different investigations to help us find out if our predictions are correct.
On Friday, 7th July we took a trip to Kidzania in Westfield Shopping Centre. It was an amazing experience!

We have had a very exciting term in Year 3! We made AMAZING progress on all of our assessments, and we are so proud of everyone for working so hard! In Maths, we finished up our unit on fractions and have been learning about money, measurement and statistics! In Reading, we've been reading a Firework Maker's Daughter by Phillip Pullman and in Writing we have been writing instructions on how to build a healthy and strong mind. In Art, we have been exploring beautiful botanicals, and we have made frames using a weaving technique and filled it with beautiful leaves and flowers. We even drew and painted some of our own flowers, inspired by the surrounding nature.
William Byrd hosted its first ever Year 3 sleepover. We came in on Friday night and had a pizza buffet. Then we did exciting activities like making loom bracelets, playing board games, outdoor sports and even glitter tattoos and henna. We winded down with a twilight walk, a 'midnight' snack and a movie. We slept on mats on the hall, surrounded by our friends! In the morning, we had breakfast outside and headed home (for a nice nap)!
William Byrd Primary Academy has been given a Bronze award for their work to make sure students don’t miss out on an education because they are young carers.
