Please remember that we have a no nut policy at BHS due to some children having severe allergies. This includes peanut butter sandwiches and nuts in cookies or cakes.

The children have reflected on their camp experiences and have written a detailed recount about their time at camp. It is refreshing to hear all the positive comments from parents. All the adults felt extremely proud of how the children maintained a Growth Mindset and embarked on new challenges. The children are already looking forward to Year 4 camp and have begun to set themselves challenges for next year.

Multiplication and Division are related and are used to solve problems.
The children will inquire into:
