Pirate Day

We all enjoyed our Pirate Day this term – we had lots of different pirate-themed activities for the children to do – including making pirate-catching jellyfish, building our our pirate ship and singing pirate songs.

Here are some photographs of the day

Earlier this year, children were learning about Floella Benjamin. Floella Benjamin is a well-known author, politician and children’s TV presenter. Her memoir ‘Coming to England’ tells of her own journey to England as part of the Windrush generation.  Our children read her book ‘My Two Grannies’ all about her grandparents, one who lived in Trinidad and one who lived in London. The children used this story to think about members of their own family.

Home Learning

If your child needs to isolate due to Covid-19, we will send home learning via Arbor. If you have any questions about the work or you haven’t received it, please contact us by email: airballoonhillp@bristol-schools.uk
