A frosty February morning

After the snow of January, February has started on a very frosty note.   Despite the cold, though, life at BPS is as exciting as always, with lots of developments around school to share!  We also have much to look forward to, with book week and the Baftas in March, and a variety of other exciting activities taking place in February, including a range of interesting visits and visitors.

Sharing the latest news and events

Digital signage

Our digital display screen in the reception area is now fully up and running.  Featuring information about the latest events in school, as well as video clips, photographs, and sound clips, the screen is regularly updated.  Leading up to the reception area: we also have a new noticeboard; this features news and information from around school, including information from ‘The Friends of BPS’.

Featured on our main school website are two areas that are designed to give parents a ‘window’ into life at BPS.  Firstly, the ‘Photo Gallery‘ features snapshots from around school, including school events.   Secondly, BPS TV has recently been updatedwith video clips of our ducks!

The Pond

The Nature Area

The nature area is developing into a very interesting place for pupils to visit, with lots of potential for learning experiences as an ‘outdoor classroom’.   Our resident ducks are very well settled and enjoying life on the pond, despite the cold.

Comfy red sofa

The Medical Area

The new medical area has been very well received by pupils.  Featuring comfy red sofas, story CDs to listen and a light, spacious feel, the medical area means that pupils can make a swift recovery in pleasant surroundings.

Mosaic screen

The Nursery

Our amazing nursery has recently seen some interesting developments, with structural work taking place to the building.   The building has been extended to create an extra room that is used for role play and soft play, with a mosaic dividing screen.  The main nursery has been enhanced with the addition of a touch sensitive interactive whiteboard.  Future developments include creating a natural outdoor area and the creation of a room especially for one year olds.

A display

Displays

Displays around school celebrate the achievements of our children, as well as being important teaching resources.  We are very proud of the work that our pupils have completed and we would like to share with you some of the displays from around school.  Head over to ‘Photo Gallery‘ on the main school website for more pictures of some of the fabulous displays from around Buckingham Primary School.
