It has been a busy and exciting few weeks back since half term for Bignor class. Pupils have come back from their break over Halloween and have hit the ground running as we fast approach the Christmas period.

Our mindsets have changed in class, and we have now got pupils sitting mock exam papers as well as past GCSE papers in preparation for future examinations. The pupils have responded well to this and are greeting each challenge with determination and resilience.

In our English lessons, we are working through some Gothic Horror novella as well as dipping our toes into some crime fiction.

In maths, each pupil is working through all things fractions! This has always been a sensitive area of maths for even the most established mathematicians, however, the Bignor pupils continue to show a great work ethic and are powering through – possibly due to the links that have been made with pizzas and chocolate bars.

It is not all work, work, work. In other areas of the school week, our pupils have been able to enjoy rock climbing at Fort Purbrook, where healthy competition is always evident, as well as challenging one another (and staff) on the obstacle course at Queen Elizabeth Country Park.

Soon we will be starting our revision packs and if you would like to help with this at home, there are some fantastic resources that can be found at:
