This year a number of pupils from Brigstock attended a gardening club at Lion Road Allotments. 

With another year coming to an end, we thought it was worth looking back at a fantastic season of sporting success.

We have been thinking carefully about mistakes – and how we can use them as an opportunity to learn.

On Friday 8th July,  Year 5 travelled to the Tower of London as part of their ‘Crime and Punishment’ topic. 

Following a train to London Bridge station, Year 5 took a lovely walk along the Southbank and over Tower Bridge before entering the Tower.

This week we have been thinking about how to show understanding – being aware of other people’s feelings, being tolerant and forgiving.

Lovely to see Rachel Dixon, our Dance and Yoga specialist teacher, working with Year 5 on the field under the blazing sunshine today. 

A big Cypress well done to Evie, Maxwell, Sebastian, Raymond and Pablo for their efforts to support those affected by the conflict in Ukraine.
