A big thank you to Mrs Kirwan for leading a really informative phonics session for our Reception and Year 1 parents. It was a great opportunity to show families how we teach phonics at Burhill, share ways to support reading at home and explain how we encourage children to develop a love of books and reading from an early age. Thank you to all the parents who came along. #BurhillPrimary #EarlyReading #Phonics #LoveofReading

Black History Month in Year 1! Year 1 have been celebrating Black History Month with a special workshop, giving the children an opportunity to learn, explore and celebrate Black history and culture. A lovely way to encourage curiosity, understanding and respect for others.❤️ #BurhillPrimary #BlackHistoryMonth #Year1 #TheBurhillWay

Making Music in Year 2! Year 2 have been busy creating their own group musical compositions, experimenting with repeating rhythms and recording their ideas using musical notation.🎵 They then worked together to practise and perform their pieces, thinking carefully about tempo, dynamics and texture and how fast or loud their music should be. Lots of creativity, listening and teamwork in our young musicians! #Year2 #BurhillPrimary #MusicatSchool #SurreyPrimarySchool

Today we’re wearing yellow in support of YoungMinds’ Hello Yellow day, joining schools and communities across the country to show young people that they are not alone with their mental health. From bright T-shirts and hats to yellow socks and accessories, we'll be seeing a lot of yellow around Burhill today! 🌟 Most importantly, it’s a chance to remind our children that how they feel matters, talking can help, and there are always people ready to listen. Thank you to everyone joining in and helping us turn Burhill yellow today! #HelloYellow #BurhillPrimary #SurreyPrimarySchool #SchoolCommunity

🍎🍋 Poetry in the making in Year 2! Year 2 have been putting their senses to work in English, touching, smelling, observing and tasting different fruits to help develop their descriptive vocabulary. From juicy and sweet to fresh and crunchy, the children have been gathering lots of interesting words to use in their own poetry writing. A lovely hands-on way to bring language to life! #BurhillPrimary #Year2English #CreativeWriting #TheBurhillWay #Year2

Celebrating Harvest Festival 🍂 We were so proud of our children at our Harvest Festival church services this week!

Who got a Golden Ticket? 🌟 Lunchtimes at Burhill are about much more than just eating lunch, and it's lovely to see children making them enjoyable for everyone! From including others in games to looking out for their friends and making good choices, there are lots of reasons to earn one of our special Golden Tickets. Congratulations to last week's GoldenTickets holders – we're proud of you! #TheBurhillWay #BurhillPrimary #SurreyPrimarySchool

Roman life brought to life at Sayers Croft! Our Year 4 children had a brilliant trip to Sayers Croft last week, stepping back in time to learn more about life in Roman Britain. They explored a roundhouse, discovered what life was like in the Roman army, tried on armour and even practised Roman shield formations together. They also got hands-on building their own ballista structures – the giant catapult-style weapons used by the Romans. A fantastic day of history, teamwork and learning outside the classroom! 🛡️🏹 #BurhillPrimary #LearningOutsideTheClassroom #SurreyPrimarySchool #SayersCroft

Celebrating Black History Month at Burhill! Throughout October, we’ll be marking Black History Month, giving our children opportunities to learn about and celebrate Black history, culture and achievements. Across the school, children will explore stories, people and events that have made a difference. This year’s theme, ‘Honouring Our Communities’, shines a light on the everyday people who make a difference – from local leaders and teachers to carers and community builders whose valuable contributions may be behind the scenes. #LoveofLearning #BurhillPrimary #SurreyPrimarySchool #BlackHistoryMonth

A trip to space… without leaving Burhill! Our school hall was transformed last week with a visit from the Space Dome, giving our Year 5 children an exciting opportunity to journey through space and learn more about our solar system. A brilliant way to bring their learning to life! #BurhillPrimary #Year5 #SpaceDome #PrimaryScience #SurreyPrimarySchool

Year 3 Geography in action! Year 3 enjoyed a beautiful sunny walk to the River Mole on Friday, putting the sketch maps they had created in class to good use along the way. It was a lovely opportunity to take their geography learning outdoors, follow their routes and explore our local area first-hand. 🌳🚶 #BurhillPrimary #OutdoorLearning #Year3 #PrimaryEducation #TheBurhillWay
