Last week, our Year 6 pupils enjoyed a fantastic visit to Bilsthorpe Heritage Museum!

The children had a wonderful time exploring the museum, learning about the rich local mining history, and discovering what life was like for those who worked in the pits. It was a fascinating and memorable experience that brought their learning to life.

A huge thank you to everyone at Bilsthorpe Heritage Museum for making us feel so welcome and for sharing such interesting stories and knowledge with our pupils.

Forest Games Fun!

Last week some of our children took part in the 'Forest Games'!

Throughout the day the children showed wonderful teamwork, resilience, kindness and enthusiasm as they enjoyed a range of exciting outdoor activities, including:

Soft Archery

Tree Nets

Windchime Making

Scavenger Hunt & Nature Walk

Disc Golf

It was lovely to see everyone encouraging one another, trying new challenges and making the most of the beautiful outdoor environment. We are incredibly proud of how well they represented our school with their positive attitudes and excellent behaviour.

Each child received a 'Forest Games participation certificate' to celebrate their achievements and the memories made during the day.

We hope the children came home with lots of exciting stories to share about their woodland adventure!

A glimpse into Year 2’s recent learning and activities!

We’ve been busy exploring, creating, and learning in lots of different ways. From planting seeds in science and watching our understanding grow , to taking part in thoughtful PSHE activities and developing our knowledge of ourselves and others

It’s been wonderful to see the children so engaged, curious, and enthusiastic about their learning. Well done, Year 2!

Year 6 have been having fun in maths with a game of Strike It Out!

After playing a few rounds, the children put their reasoning skills to the test by working collaboratively to explore different strategies and patterns.

They investigated questions such as:

Can we strike all the numbers out?

Are you more likely to win if you go first?

It was fantastic to see the children discussing ideas, justifying their thinking, and using their problem-solving skills to challenge each other. A great example of maths being full of curiosity, teamwork, and discovery!

Bilsthorpe Team Takes on Race for Life!

We are incredibly proud of the resilience and determination shown by our pupils as they completed the Race for Life Pretty Muddy 5k!

The event was a huge success and, most importantly, lots of fun! From getting muddy to supporting such an important cause, it was a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.

As the Bilsthorpe Team, we are thrilled to have raised an amazing £4,645.50 for Cancer Research UK.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and supported us, and a massive well done to every pupil and member of staff who took part — your determination and kindness made us incredibly proud.

We couldn’t finish the day without a special photograph at our beautiful Mrs Butt’s memorial bench. We know she would have been so proud of the children for their incredible efforts and for raising money for such a special cause.
