In Year 4, the children are supported appropriately to enable them to grow in maturity and are encouraged to take on the role of kind, integral members of our school community.   Children are given the opportunity to show more responsibility for their learning and organisation and are provided with a range of opportunities to challenge themselves.
 
In Years 5 and 6 our children immerse themselves in a formal, rich and invigorating curriculum.  As they embark on this exciting journey, we aspire for our children to be independent learners and good communicators being kind, integral and enthusiastic members of our community. 
 

Through their unique personalities and drive for success, our children are challenged to reach their full potential by applying their skills and knowledge, embedding them within all areas of the curriculum.  We encourage our children to take tremendous pride in their achievements and endeavour to support each other to grow as well-rounded individuals.

 

Years 5 and 6 are fast-paced and challenging as our children work incredibly hard to prepare themselves for the end of their primary school journey.  Children in Year 6 take on many roles of responsibilities within school and participate fully in the life of the school in its wider community.   As a year group they begin preparation for secondary school life, ensuring that they are inspirational role models to our younger peers.

 

We work hard to fully embed skills that our children have learnt during their time at the school and strive to achieve mastery approach to learning across all subject areas.  Throughout the year, the children deepen their reasoning and reflective skills, showing a true understanding of how to improve and advance their learning.

 

Inspired by the huge breadth of skills our children have learnt on their journey through Bearwood, our children leave the school as kind, integral, and successful individuals ready to face the challenges of secondary school and adult life, becoming successful, compassionate and productive citizens.

In Year 4,  have had a fantastic first full week at school. We created hedgehog artwork and some will be displayed on our Bearwood Forest display in the hall.  We learnt about the importance of friendship and created a mind map before the lesson and added to it after, to demonstrate what more we have learnt about what makes a good friend. 

We wrote recounts of our summer holidays, describing where we went, what we did and how we felt along the way. 

This week, our Upper Phase classes have been settling into their routines and have seriously impressed their teachers with their enthusiasm, focus, and fantastic start to the year. In a wonderful show of support for wildlife conservation, Badger Class adopted a real badger through a charity initiative. They were thrilled to receive their welcome pack, complete with information about their adopted badger (Billie) and a cuddly toy to mark the occasion!
