July
It was a very sad goodbye to our current Year 6's. The two worthy recipients of the Scottie Coleman Award were Rachel in Hurricanes class and Manveen in Spitfires class. The children in Year 6 will be going to new schools in the borough, with the majority off to Bishop Ramsey CE High School, we all wish them a very fond farwell and would like to thank them for being such an outstanding Year 6.
The annual awards for all of the sports clubs were also given out in a special assembly this week. The awards were spread out over Year 5 and Year 6. Ben in Year 5 was the Tag Rugby player of the Year. Conor in Hurricanes was the Footballer of the Year. Louis again in Hurricanes was the Rounders player of the Year and Rachel and Megan again in Hurricanes (What a sporty class they are!!!) winning Athlete of the Year and Netball Player of the Year. Christopher, Mitchell and Zoe of Pharaohs in Year 5 also won Cross Country, Cricketer and Most improved Sports Person of the Year. Well Done to all of our worthy winners.
On the 23rd of June BWI's athletics team represent the school at the annual Hillingdon District Sports event. Overall we came a very creditable third place. Rachel in Year 5 was a gold medalist in the year 5 girl's sprint. Nadina was a silver medalist in year 6 girl's sprint. Year 5 boys sprint relay were bronze medalists. Seven children represented BWI over the 8 sprint finals a fantastic and unique achievement.
It was such a hot evening and lots of the children gave up watching the England match! Rachel even managed to break her arm running for the line. Mrs Hill, Miss van Vuuren and Mrs Thomas are very proud of the whole team and the sportmanship show by all of the children.
On Wednesday 14th July we had a very special visitor to our assembly. Mrs Penny Guy came to present the completed school banner. During our recent Multicultural week every class worked with Mrs Guy on this project. All the winning desgins from the banner competition have been incorporated to create a vibrant and stunning banner that will be on display in our reception area, for many years to come. Why not come and have a look.

What a fantastic week at BWI. All the classes learnt about different cultures and countries and participated in different crafts associated with their countries of choice. We held a Multicultural evening and all of the local community were invited to attend. Children who attend the Sole Dance club at the school performed a dance to the theme music of Slumdog Millionaire. Children in Year 6 sang a weather song in French, and a steel band played inbetween the childrens performances. We had lots of positive feedback from parents and other visitors to the school and we would like to thank everyone who came, to make this evening such a big success.
