As you will be aware, we have been working very closely with Heathrow Airport over the last two years and their staff generously give their time on a weekly basis to come in to school and listen to children read.

Recently, we made a successful bid through their  grant programme, Heathrow Community Fund, for exciting new books for our classroom reading corners. Sarah Pickard and Ginette Grant from Heathrow visited our Key Stage 2 assembly to present the books to the children where they shared their own favourite childhood books with us.

William Byrd celebrated Red Nose Day and dressed up in red to raise money for Comic Relief.  Children and staff proudly wore their red noses and head bands and we managed to raise lots of money for a fantastic cause.

Thank you to everyone for your contributions and continuous support.

We were invited to take part in a dance festival at Barnhill Community High. This was a great celebration of dance with performances from primary schools across the borough, focusing on the theme of British Values.  

Years 5 and 6 worked extremely hard to learn their street dance choreography and performed their routine successfully.  A big thank you and well done to Ms O’Connell and everyone involved.

For World Book Day this year the whole school got busy decorating their classroom doors based around a book of their choice. 

All classes did a fantastic job and we were pleased to announce 4B as our competition winners; their door was based on Roald Dhal's famous book The BFG .  Well done 4B!

Some of our amazing classroom doors!

On Wednesday 6th March Year 6 children enjoyed a Maths Reasoning day.  The day was packed with exciting and engaging activities involving real life scenarios, linked to reasoning skills.

There was a budget activity, where the children had to work out the cheapest deal for a year 6 trip. A fruit cocktail activity, linked to fractions and percentages. All the children really enjoyed making their cocktails and drinking their creations at the end of the activity.

In addition to this, children were measuring their heart rate before and after exercise, looking at the mean as an  average.  They compared results and created a table or suitable graph to show their findings.

There was also a gift bag activity related to fractions and percentages of amounts. Gift bags were made and will be delivered to catering and admin staff to show our appreciation as a Easter gift.

Finally, we had a circuit in the middle of the hall to explore the impact of exercise. This was a fun packed day and the children learnt a lot about reasoning in our world. 

Year 6 finished the day of by completing reasoning questions in a fun activity.  They used timers and a leader board to record the fastest time or response. 

Thank you to the Year 6 team who organised a successful day that was enjoyed by all.  We hope we can hold many more workshops like this in the future.
