Wider Opps Day
On Thursday 6th February, Badgers attended a ‘Wider Opps Day’ at The King’s House, Bedford. The day was the culmination of 15 weeks of music lessons with Mr Andy Kershaw, a teacher from Music for Bedford Borough.
Badgers learnt to play a brass instrument called the P Bone, which is an entry level instrument for the trombone. Over the course of the lessons, the children mastered several different notes on the instrument, which they then turned into a variety of tunes. They performed ‘Silent Night’ at Christmas, as well as giving other demos throughout their lessons.
During the Wider Opps Day, the children worked with children from all over Bedford. The finale of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ was a showstopper and showed just how much they had learnt.
It was a fantastic day and the children were absolutely superb. Well done, Badgers!

Little Red Riding Hood
Children from years 2 and 3 were invited to Bedford Academy to watch an A Level production of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. The A Level students put on a brilliant show which engrossed the children and they were kind enough to let the children look at their set design once the show was finished. The children even had their photos taken with the students!
Ready Steady Cook!
Badgers were invited to use the Food Technology rooms at Bedford Academy on Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st November. We wrote the recipes for a traditional South African Milk Tart and created something extremely tasty! The children (and staff!) had a fantastic time at the Academy, where the rooms are excellently equipped. The children’s behaviour was exemplary and made Miss Grey and Mrs Robinson very proud. Well done Badgers!
