With great excitement, BICS pupils headed to The Reformation Room at Martyrs’ FPC on 26^th May.  ‘Katherine Von Bora’ took us from the 95 Theses doors at the front of the building, upstairs to various sections representing parts of Martin Luther’s life.  There was much to see and do, such as trying various costumes and Luther’s ‘monastery’ bed, watching a video of Luther’s life, solving puzzles and getting hands on experience with a printing press.  Thanks to Alana and James, who did an excellent job so that alongside the fun the important Reformation truths were being taught to young minds.  Thanks also to Bryan for driving the bus.

May has been a creative month for Key Stage Three!

Key Stage One and Two pupils have been learning about the explorer Christopher Columbus in their History classes.  They are pictured investigating the new foods that he discovered on his travels.

Key Stage Three Design and Technology pupils are pictured with their latest creations.  They designed and created memory cushions using materials representing different members of their families.  Also pictured is Jeremiah with his motorised buggy.

Also pictured are some of the boys who were happy to get the chance to do some measuring in their Maths and Numeracy work recently as part of handling data.

The season for growing things has arrived at BICS.  Both Sunbeams and Primary Pupils have been doing some planting, uncovering their gardening skills!  Primary scientists have been investigating the best conditions for cress to grow in the classroom, while GCSE Biology student Mark has been completing his Controlled Assessment on the subject of Water Loss in Plants.

As part of their 'Cheese Sensations' project, Key Stage Three created a healthy cheese snack in Home Economics.  This project also involved food photography and making an advertisement for their snack.

Spring has sprung- inside BICS if not outside!  Some Primary pupils are pictured with their Spring artwork.
