Charities Afternoon

The Junior School held their charities morning. Groups of students in Years 3-6 set up and decorated their own stalls, offering a wide range of activities such as homemade cake sales, a ring toss, raffles and lucky dips, sponge throwing and photobooths. There were even some games that they had made up themselves – including ‘Are You a Ninja?’ where students tried to knock over bottles by throwing paper shuriken! Overall, they raised an astounding £1253 for Great Ormond Street Hospital and Children’s Charity and had great fun in the process.

The Awakening

As I awoke, I could feel the chilly air breeze against my face. I wondered where I had woken up, I had slept in my room last night, not wherever I am now.

There were corridors and rooms around the building, it looked like an abandoned hospital from a movie, but it was not a movie. I strolled down one of the corridors that said “Exit,” but the doors were boarded up, there was no way I could get out without tools.

Suddenly I felt like I was being watched, I turned around to see a black figure dashing to the other side of the corridor. My heart boomed in my chest I wondered what that figure was, it had no face, just a figure. I walked to where I saw the figure run but there was nothing there.

I turned to walk through the next corridor, the lights were flickering like the rest of this building, apart from one part, the west wing. Most lights on this wing were out but some barely worked. I cautiously walked to the area of the west wing; this part of the building was much colder than other parts of the hospital.

I blinked and just barely saw the shadowy figure again, this time he was in the reception area. Suddenly, I heard the crackle of flames, the smokey smell of smoke, there was a fire in the reception! I tip toed slowly to investigate it and it had spread from the cafeteria. I slowly walked down the next corridor; I had just blinked to see in my horror the figure standing right in front of me...

Mr Barrow

I interviewed Mr Barrow as he is leaving the Junior School next year. I asked him some questions about his time at BMJS.

First of all, Mr Barrow has been at Bedford Modern Junior School for 18 amazing years!! He teaches his Form class, 6CB, Sports and lots of other classes.

The thing he will miss most about the Junior School is the staff room because of all of the laughs with other staff, he has great memories with lots of the staff here although he will certainly meet new teachers when he moves. Another thing that Mr Barrow will miss is the enthusiasm of his students in all subjects.

A great example of what we do at the Junior School is all the opportunities! Of course, Mr Barrow enjoys being a teacher, and one of his favourite things about it is the variety of activities that the curriculum has to offer.

Staff and students know how busy school life is, but nobody better than Mr Barrow after how long he’s been here for! There is never a moment to spare in this teacher’s life, from organising lessons to fixtures and coaching. I think that most people would agree that he does an excellent job, especially under all the pressure and deadlines.

Some of the fondest memories for Mr Barrow have to be the Rugby Tour to South Africa, running the Kingswood trips for as long as anybody can remember, the joy of coaching students in sports and, best of all, winning the County Cup with the Under 11 boys in Hockey, a brilliant achievement!

One of the most special parts of being a teacher to Mr Barrow is seeing how the children change from 11 to 18 and observing what kind of person they want to be.

Finally, the question about Mr Barrow’s future plans! Well, he is moving into Bedford Modern Senior School to continue teaching and I’m lucky enough to have him as my English teacher next year. Everyone will miss Mr Barrow loads but he’s not that far away!

Miss Hayman

Miss Hayman has been a member of the BMJS sports staff for five and a half years. She is the head of Junior girl’s sport, and has taught hockey, netball and cricket.

Miss Hayman likes being a teacher because she enjoys being able to see the children smile and achieve in sports and other subjects, and their skills increase over time, even if it is not their favourite. She has found her time here enjoyable, fun, exciting and, also, quite busy. Her favourite things about BMJS have been the family-like community, the Year 6 residentials, the sports tours and, best of all, the fixtures, home and away, against different schools. Her best memories here are her first ever Women in Sport week, teaching with cricketer Lydia Greenwood, all the sports days, and the trips to Condover Hall.

Miss Hayman’s next step of her amazing journey is to be the Head of Girls’ Sports at Bedford Greenacre Independent School – but she will miss being able to say hello to all of the children in the corridors and knowing their names.

Mrs Gale

Mrs Gale has been working In BMS for 10 years. She mainly teaches her year 4 class but also teaches Science and Art.

She has had so many memories of BMS she said it is hard to count, but some of her favourites are Burwell House residential, all the productions and House music. Mrs Gale is also very interested in costumes as she helps put together all the costumes for the Christmas production and the summer one, too.

Mrs Gale loves teaching because every day is different, she said you learn new things every day. Sometimes from an adult or sometimes a student. She also enjoys coming into school in the morning and seeing all her smiling students ready to learn.

Mrs Gale told me that what she will miss are the smiles, the laughter, the children, and her team of staff. She has loved working in a team and that has what has made it so special. She is really going to miss the staff and all her students.

Mrs Gale will be leaving to spend more time with her family and look after her husband. She has thoroughly enjoyed her time a BMS and is really going to miss it.

The Robin and the Crow – A Fable

Once there was a robin who was very lazy and greedy who stole everything he had. He didn’t even want to find his own food.

The robin was starving. “I’m so hungry!” moaned the robin. “I’m soon going to starve!” But he was too idle to find anything to eat, just then something caught his eye. “Is that a worm?” he questioned rubbing his eyes, “I cannot believe this!” But, at that very moment a crow appeared and grabbed up the worm. While the crow was munching the worm, the robin was just staring at them, he wanted them so badly he started to cry. Suddenly an idea popped into his mind “This is a great idea!” he laughed menacingly.

The robin’s plan was that the crow always leaves the worms in his nest while he goes for more, so the robin eats them when they’re alone.” Nobody will be there when I eat one or two maybe”. The next day the robin tried that, it worked! “Yum, delicious! This is SO GOOD!”

Dessin Arcimboldo

declared the robin. When the crow came back, he yelled, “Where are my worms, hmm, ho, never mind,” he calmed down. From then on, the robin did this until one day when the crow had made a plan of his own, he would put a hook in a worm then the bird who wants to eat the worm gets hooked.

The robin was that bird. Today was another special day, “Yum,” he thought. “Om, OUCH! Ou, Ou!” he screamed at that very moment the crow appeared “I knew it would work,” he muttered to himself. “Well, hello! Fellow robin been stealing I see?” said the crow slowly. The robin of course couldn’t answer he was trapped. When the crow unhooked him, the robin actually asked for worms, but the crow immediately said, “No, you don’t deserve it!.” So, the robin starved.

And the moral of the story is … Don’t take what is not yours!
