Our Pre-Prep children had a fantastic time exploring the classic tale of Jack and the Beanstalk this week! Inspired by the story, they planted their very own broad beans, although no magical overnight growth (yet!), they are eagerly nurturing their little plants with plenty of water and springtime sunshine. Who knows? Maybe a giant beanstalk will appear after all!

As Year 5 concluded their Geography topic on ‘Poverty,’ they explored the causes and real impact of food poverty on individuals and families, they then took action!
The Thomas Franks Foundation joined Year 5 to share how their Feeding the Community campaign has provided over 3 million meals across the UK. Inspired, Year 5 packaged an impressive 560 meals, distributed by City Harvest to those in need via 200+ London charities.
Our compassionate pupils then rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on experience in making a difference. Working alongside our amazing Chef, they spent the afternoon labelling, portioning, and packing a delicious vegetable pasta meal.
But that’s not all, they went further. By doing odd jobs for family and friends they raised a fantastic £809.10 for The Thomas Franks Foundation enough to fund at least 1,000 meals for those in need!
What an incredible achievement Year 5, you should be so proud of your kindness and dedication to making a real difference to people’s lives.

Breaside competed recently in the ISA National Football Tournament at St George’s Park, the home of the England FA and England national teams for both men’s and women’s football. The team won the Plate Trophy after competing with 27 other teams from all over England. It was an incredible experience for the boys to play on the same pitches as some of their footballing heroes and they did Breaside proud with their attitudes both on and off the pitch. A huge well done to our 5-a-side Team for their fantastic performance!

What a fantastic World Book Day we had at Breaside yesterday! The sun shone brightly as children arrived at school, brimming with excitement and dressed in their amazing costumes. Fully embracing the non-fiction theme, Breaside was filled with walking dictionaries, historical icons, endangered animals, food items, and many more creative outfits.
The day kicked off with a lively assembly and costume catwalk parade, accompanied by MC Grammar’s famous World Book Day rap. The day was full of different activities, an inspiring music workshop celebrated the incredible film composer John Williams, famous for Star Wars and Jaws theme music amongst many others, reading buddies shared their favourite books with our younger years, children took on Guinness World Record challenges in PE, and passionate debates sparked lively discussions.
There was also time to unwind and enjoy reading in the cosy reading dens, participate in creative origami sessions and Pre-Prep baked and decorated gingerbread men. With so many exciting activities, it truly was a day to remember!

Year 4 have had an exciting week in English! They were engrossed in our current book The Barnabus Project, a story about Barnabus, a half-mouse, half-elephant rejected by the `Perfect Pets` shop for not being "perfect." Outraged by this idea, the children passionately agreed that everyone is unique and that our differences should be celebrated. After all, the world would be dull if we were all the same! Inspired by this message, they then designed and sculpted their own imaginative and unique hybrid creatures from plasticine. We now look forward to planning and writing non-chronological reports on these fantastic creations in the upcoming lessons.
