Best of Bosmere
September 2020
Dear Parents/Carers,
It has been truly lovely to have had a month back at school and have Bosmere full of children again! It hasn’t been without its challenges and the
restrictions that have (quite rightly) to be in place have impacted on children and staff alike, however, we are all here and we are all learning and
doing our best! The children certainly continue to seem to be happy to be in the routine of school life and provide many reasons to smile each day!
The year started with the whole school reconnecting. Children learnt alongside others in their class or phase of classes, among other things,
reading a beautiful book called ‘Here we are’ by Oliver Jeffers. This inspired lots of vibrant discussion and creative thinking, alongside some rather
lovely activities and experiences. We also launched Jigsaw, our new whole school approach to PSHE and RSE, commencing with the theme of
‘Being me in my world’-it could not have been better timed!
Enjoy our first BOB of 2020-2021!

Beech Class-New experiences in Art Fern & Apple Classes Explore
The children are using Indian ink (a first time using this
medium) to practise drawing in response to and in the
same medium as that used in The Boy, The Mole,The Fox
and The Horse-a beautifully illustrated book about the bond
between 4 friends.
To start the term, we read the book 'Here We Are' By Oliver
Jeffers. Another beautifully illustrated book which prompted
lots of discussion in classes right the way across school.
Fern and Apple Classes talked about how beautiful the
world is and how important it is to look after Earth and
everything on it. They went on a nature walk, looking
carefully at the minibeasts, plants and trees-captivating
aspects of the world of Bosmere outside of our classrooms.
Mindfulness Journals
As part of the launch of Jigsaw, the children have all created their own mindfulness
journal, something they will contribute to throughout their time at Bosmere, adding to it
year upon year.
Aspen Class here are using a variety of
art techniques to create their journals,
the inspiration for which was 'Here we
are' by Oliver Jeffers. In fact, children
across the whole of our school have
designed their own journals. Aspen
class explored mixing and blending
paints, sketched sea creatures and
emotion monsters and used leaf rubbings
to add detail.
Redwood enjoying their Jigsaw session for the week Gymnastics with Redwood Class
LKS2 have been exploring body movement in Gymnastics.
The children needed to travel and make different shapes
with their bodies, concentrating to use carefully controlled
movements. They used different numbers of points on their
bodies to balance. It was quite tricky!
Here Redwood Class are using Jaz, their Jigsaw piece, during
their Jigsaw discussion session. If you are holding Jaz, you are
able to share your thinking, thoughts and feelings. The children
are looking inside themselves to reflect on achievements and These movements will build to making a sequence of
goals. balancing actions and positions of stillness.
Fern Class dancing in the sunshine! Willow Class have been dancing in the sunshine too!
Fern class have become dancers. The children pretended PE with Mrs Porch; the children were enjoying flying like
to be ducks and used the movement of a duck swimming, birds to the music of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.
flying, eating and drinking to create a dance to a piece of
music.
Dance sessions outside have been a big hit with the
children!
Nursery children having fun getting to know each other…
Learning, playing and singing
together outside is also great
fun!
Snack time is a lovely time to
feed our rumbly tummies and
have a good chat together.

The children in Redwood Class were captivated! PE when it’s raining!
Mrs Green heard a whole lot of loud fun from her office on
a recent dreary, wet Friday afternoon.
She did not need to go too far to see Ash class dancing
their hearts out to GoNoodle for their PE session!
What a wonderful moment in Redwood class. The children
were mesmerized by Mr Mckeon’s sharing of a poem from
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory during their guided
reading lesson. There were lots of giggles and laughing out
loud.
September in Reception
Oak class have really settled well into School life at Bosmere. They have all been working hard
on their independence (putting on their coats by themselves) and learning routines (such as
having PE and eating in the Dining Hall). They have had a great time learning and collaborating
in the classroom, outside area and in the forest!
