On Friday, the F2 children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a seasonal Forest School activity, during which they created bird feeders using pumpkins, sticks, and ribbon. The children carefully used knives to make the holes, filled the pumpkins with bird seed, and then hung their completed feeders around the forest area for the birds to enjoy🐦🌳
Last week, Year 2 produced their own newspaper reports about the Great Fire of London. The children explored the key events of 1666, learned about the structure and features of newspaper writing, and applied this knowledge to create well-organised and engaging newspaper reports

Take a look at Year 6’s writing from last week. The children completed thoughtful and reflective pieces to honour and show respect to the individuals from Bilsthorpe who lost their lives during the Second World War❤️
Miss Pitts - your dedication to promoting exercise, challenge, and resilience in your Year 6 children is truly inspiring. What a wonderful way to support a worthy cause whilst showing just how much the children are at the very heart of everything you do.
Our team are leading the way in phonics, sharing expertise and ensuring every child becomes a confident reader.
At BFHA, we know how important good nutrition is - and how exciting it can be to explore new tastes! Last week, our friends from Vertas, our school meals provider, visited to teach our children all about the seasonal foods and how we carefully select our school meals menu.
We are so proud of all our children today as they joined together to observe the two minutes' silence and pay their respects to those who have served our country. Our year 6 children gave a wonderful performance of William Walker's poem.
Our F1 children also enjoyed learning about the meaning behind the poppy and why we wear it to remember and honour those who have served.
In preparation for Christmas, the elves at BFHA need your help!!
We are looking for donations of:
Chocolate selection boxes
Christmas wrapping paper

What an incredible evening at our Fireworks Night! 
The display was amazing, and it was wonderful to see so many smiles and laughter from our children and families — truly an evening to remember.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support our school. This event wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of my incredible staff team 
And a special mention to a certain parent helper — you know who you are!
