WEEP FOR THE WILLOW Due to a wasps nest we have recently lost our precious willow tunnel by the pond . Despite this being a great form of biodiversity, a wasp inheritance has taken over for the second year ,causing it to be closed off again.

Our willow tunnel has been a fun place to play and encouraged lots of ladybirds to live in our school.

Sadly the pest control said the only way to get rid of the yearly wasps was for the willow tunnel to go. We are not sure what's going to be done to the empty space but we hope we can keep it a bio diverse area.

Interview with Miss Parker What was it first like being a teacher at BHHS? It was very different because before I came here I was teaching in Thailand it was also different because this is an all girls school but I liked that.

What is the good things about being a teacher?

It’s never boring because the girls always ask different questions and also the good thing is you get to work with children who make it fun.

What are the bad things about being a teacher?

You can’t go on holiday in the term time when it is cheaper.

What is the hardest thing about being a teacher?

You have to remember lots of different things at the same time or you will be letting someone down.

Book review from year six Percy Jackson and the sea of monsters

By Amy Bailham At first sight I doubted that I would like this book, but Rick Riodan is an author I would certainly recommend. Read this if you don't mind guinea pigs, golden fleeces and big battles. This science fiction is a jaw dropping book.

Year five’s trip to Marchants Year 5 earlier this year strolled on to a fantastic trip to PGL. We all wished them luck as they left for Marchant’s hill. The girls had a great time doing power fan, raft building, rock climbing, abseiling and much more! The mud challenge was, well… “Muddy” and building a raft was thought to be a fun but wet experience. Considering it was a 2-night stay year 5 did exceptionally well.

When they returned they were luckily in a similar state as they left, if a little tired.

The teachers have let the year 4s run the whole of Children in Need Day! They chose to run stalls in the hall at break.

They sold lots of yummy cakes, tattoos and books.

This was very popular with everyone else, and through selling all these exciting things, they raised almost £500!

Together with everyone’s donations-£1 suggestion-we had raised about £700 for charity!!!!!

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Children in Need!
