BREADY,

STEADY,

BAKE! By Annie Jerreat and Zion Savage

On the 28th January, Year 4 made some delicious bread. They had a lot of fun and learnt how to make bread dough, plus they learnt how to knead it too.

An extra challenge was to make their own bread hedgehog at home and bake it there too. The chil-dren added different things to their bread to make the hedgehog spikes, such as pumpkin seeds or raisins.

Mr Tweedie, who is DT leader, said, “The Year 4 children rose to the occasion and proved they do-ugh not disappoint.”

Holly from 4P quoted, “I enjoyed making the bread and I think other people did too; instead of doing a hedgehog, I made a snail.”

Many children brought in the bread that they made at home. They were different shapes and sizes and looked really delicious. It was really interesting and the children got to taste their bread at school! Miss Unite explained that she was very impressed with the creativity of the Year 4 children and expects to see some of them on The Great British Bake Off in the future!

After trying their bread, the children got to write what they liked about their bread and if they were to do it again, how they would improve.

Super Synagogue

Visit By Ethan Ferris and Oliver Chandra

On Tuesday 3rd March and Thursday 5th March, Year 5 visited Westcliff Synagogue. Whilst there, they learnt about the Hebrews, a fascinating group of people who are similar to Christians but only believe in the Old Testament. They saw the Torah Scrolls and learnt why there is so much decoration. Some of them even got to wear kippahs, a special type of hat!

When we asked Mr Tweedie about the trip, he told us, “I really enjoyed it as I think it is important children grow a better understanding of differ-ent religions!” Ollie in 5F ex-plained, “While I was there, I learnt new things I didn’t know before!” Altogether it was a fantas-tic trip!

On 27th February, the chil-

dren had another enjoyable

day with Lesley from the

Basildon Youth Theatre.

They had a shower of

laughs, songs and dances.

Everyone agreed it was

another fabulously

entertaining session.

Mr Frazer, Year 4, explained

that he found the Year 4

session great fun but with

some serious messages that

the children listened to

carefully.

Kesia, from 6A, stated, “ It

was really fun and I loved

the silly dances!”

in PowerPoints and arti-

cles. Every child in the

school wrote a newspa-

per report regarding the

Mayflower voyage 400

years ago and some were

selected for display at the

Reading Rooms, along

with a collection of the

work from the day. Miss

Moore, the teacher who

organised it for the school

quoted, “My favourite part

was learning about new

facts about our surround-

ing area.”

All the children had an

enjoyable day and enjoyed

stepping back in time.

Marvellous Mayflower history day

By Rupert Duncan and Ava Harlow

On the 15th January 2020,

our school took part in a

Billericay-wide competi-

tion remembering the

Pilgrim Fathers who

sailed to the New World

(America) in 1620. There

was a variety of schools:

Brightside, St Peters, St

Johns and of course, our

school, Buttsbury.

The day started with an

interesting assembly so

that everyone knew

something about the

special voyage and event.

Then, each year group

carried out a range of ac-

tivities including different

styles of art and fashion,

representing the journey

Fatima Ahmed, Kesia Crees, Aisha Sarfraz, Daniel Tanner, Yahia Asfour, Ruby Toll, Elena

Stent, Jaime Obery, Lana Bailey, Albert Longlade, Harry Weston, Annie Jerreat, Oliver

Miss Carrol explained en-

thusiastically, “World Book

Day was great fun this

year. It was great to see

so many different cos-

tumes and particularly see-

ing lots of you bringing the

book along with you. The

activities in classrooms

were wonderful and really

creative - I loved seeing

the puppets, story jars and

scene boxes. I thought

that the librarians also did

a fantastic job helping

choose books and showing

the Year 3s around the

library. It was a great day

and shows how much we

love to read at Buttsbury!”

At the end of the day, the

children all created class

libraries and visited a part-

ner classroom to find out

what others had been up

to throughout the course

of the day.

WHIZZBANG

WORLD

BOOK DAY! By Ooviya Loganathan and Anika Gup-

ta

On the 6th of March, the

school celebrated World

Book Day in their funky

costumes. The costumes

were spectacular with a

wide spread of authors’

books such as Harry

Potter, Roald Dahl, David

Walliams and even some

hilarious Captain Under-

pants!

Throughout the year

groups, all classes did vari-

ous activities. These in-

cluded puppet shows,

tours of the library for the

year 3 and the whole

school participated

in drop-everything-

and-read. In addition,

the children ate a

special meal, that was

completely book-

character themed!

Year 3 Change

for Life!!! By Aisha Sarfraz and Kesia Crees

Year 3 took part in a day

called Change for life on the

24th of January 2020 at

Mayflower High School. It

helped to teach the children

how to maintain a healthy

mind and body.

The 15 children learnt about

several different aspects to

keeping their self healthy:

what they should eat; the ex-

ercise they should do and

how to meditate to keep calm

and maintain a healthy mind.

While learning they still got to

have lots of fun by doing sev-

eral different activities; games,

making fruit kebabs, races and

meditation.

Overall, it was fun and benefi-

cial for all the pupils. Much

was learnt and gained by the

year threes so we would like

to say thank you to Mrs Walk-

er, who took them; the volun-

teers, who ran Change For

Life and Mayflower School,

who hosted it.

Year 3 Open

Door By Sam Havis

On Wednesday 4th March, Year 3 had their annual

Open Door event.

The Year 3 children and their grown-ups had the

challenge of creating their own piece of art

inspired by David Hockney. David Hockney is a

British artist from the 20th century. He was born

9th July 1937 and was an important contributor

to the pop art movement in the 1960s. He is also

a printmaker, stage designer and photographer!

Using pastels, Year 3 painted their very own mas-

terpieces. Ethan from Year 3 described the Open

Door afternoon as, “exciting, fun and enjoyable.”

DANCE IN A DAY: MUSICAL

MAYHEM!

By Daniel Tanner and Lana Bailey

On Thursday 9th January 2020, the talented future dancers of Year 6

took centre stage as they faced their biggest challenge yet: learn-

ing and performing a dance… in just one day!

This dance was not just any dance. It was choreographed by the children themselves.—after a strenuous warm up of course! It featured songs from musicals, such as Matilda and Bugsy. The children involved proved they were not just talented dancers but quick learners too and rose to the challenge admi-rably! Those who were lucky enough to see their performance thoroughly enjoyed it!

Marvellous Mother’s Day

Sale

By Alex Lee & Jamie Jones

On 18th and 19th March, Buttsbury Junior School

held a Mother’s Day sale. There were lots of special

gifts available for the chil-dren to buy and the chil-

dren loved the chance to do some shopping!

Following this special event, Miss Carroll explained, “The Mothers' Day Sales were another great success. It was great to see the chil-dren so enthusiastic to choose their gifts and I hope everyone enjoyed re-ceiving their gifts.” We would like to thank the Friends Association for help-ing the children of Butts-bury School get something nice for their loved ones.

Year 3 Cave Man Day By Albert Longlade and Harry Weston

On the 11th February, Year 3 discovered the won-

derful way our ancestors - the cave men - lived.

The children learnt about their daily life, what

tools they made and where they lived. As you will

read, it seemed like they had an amazing time and

really enjoyed the day.

In the morning, they painted cavemen pictures

and made a fire by using flint and steel to create

a spark. Edith Longlade quoted: “It was really fun,

because you got to see what the Stone Age was

like.”

Then, in the afternoon they created tools from

sticks, stones and clay. Isabella from Year 3 stated,

“I really enjoyed. It was amazing.”

After that, they then took part in den making out

of leaves, sticks and wood.

What a wonderful time Year 3 spent learning

about the incredible history of the cavemen.

The engineer (Mr. Bickerstaff)

showed the children how cars

were created inside the German

Fiesta factory and how one error

could result in Ford shutting

down!

Mr. Seeney (who works in the

London Metal Exchange) showed

us the many jobs the government

requires and what qualities are

needed for each one of them. For

example, one of the jobs requires

many IT skills as it involves coding

and blocking hackers.

The photographer, Mr. Bridge, ex-

plained the stresses of his daily life

as a professional camera-handler.

Overall, the careers festival was a

knowledge-full ex-

perience for the

Year 6 pupils.

Careers Combustion By Yahia Asfour

On the 21st of January, Year 6 chil-

dren experienced an informative

hour of the day all about adult

jobs and what qualities are need-

ed for each profession.

There were a number of talented

parents who volunteered to help

representing a total of 9 jobs: GP,

photographer, engineer, bus driv-

er, hairdresser, artist, sports

coach, physiotherapist and gov-

ernment worker.

The doctor section was run by

Dr N. Sarfraz, who showed the

pupils many pieces of medical

equipment used by a GP: reflex

hammer, stethoscope and many

more. She also taught them how

they are used.
