The children in year 3 finished off learning about The Romans with a visit to the Verulamium in St. Albans.

The new term began with another fantastic Brain Smart Day.  Groups of children enjoyed a walk around the river, exploring winter art, designing and building, music, science, PE, a mystery hunt around Kempston, activities around the story character Elmer, mindfulness, cooking and board games!

All the children are very happy with all the new playground equipment that has been kindly purchased by the PTFA.

“Great performance..a massive well done to all the teachers involved and to the 35+ 4/5 years olds…well behaved children and they all knew the words and songs. They all did amazingly x”

“I can’t believe how fantastic all the children were. A big well done and thank you to all the staff who taught the children the songs and their lines as well as all the other activities of daily school life.  As a first time mum it made me very proud that my child is a part of Bedford Road School 😊”
