I’m leaving Berkley now. I wish you all the best of luck for the years ahead. But we all will have our time, and people change. So here’s a poem about the wonderful Berkley.
B – best school you could get.
e – Every class is wonderful
r – right to be 5 star
k – kids and adults love it
L – lovely place
e – education at Berkley is brilliant
y – years fly by
This is my last blog, so
Bye bye Berkley!!!!!
If I did everything that’s happened to me, this would take ages. So here are just the key points.
By the way, ENGLAND’S IN THE EURO FINAL! Against Spain.
swimming gala
A gala is a race. This is my first one.
So, what happened is you swim in a heat, (any stroke) and they show you your time, but you don’t get medals for your place in the heat, you get time for your whole age group. For example, I came first in the backstroke heat, but got a bronze medal for my time in my age group, mine was 9 or under. I got seventh in front crawl (2nd in the heat) and seventh in breaststroke. (1st in the heat.)
That’s my gala.
tag rugby
So, there was a tag rugby competition that our school got to compete in if you wanted to. My two friends Darcey and Millie were also doing it for their school. we don’t know who won, but it was still a lot of fun.
That’s my tag rugby.
birthday
I’m very lucky on my birthday, because Corey Samuels came in on the same day, there was a heat wave, I had ballet and water polo. A very eventful birthday.
That’s my b’day.
met Corey Samuels
I met Corey Samuels on my b’day. the reason why is because a few weeks ago we got sent home with a sponsorship form to raise money for sports for champions. But when raising, there is also prizes. £5 or more is bronze, which you get a small postcard. £15 or more is silver. You get a a4 certificate. £35 or more is gold. You get a photo taken with him, autographed in a keepsake photo wallet. I got gold, so I got a photo taken with him on my birthday! By the way Corey Samuels is a famous basketball player for Bristol flyers.
So, that’s when I met Corey Samuels on my b’day!
That is the end!
If you are just randomly on Berkley’s website and don’t have a school, what are you waiting for? Berkley is the BEST school you could get! It has 4 classes, 4 years (5 if you count reception) and a farm and wonderful fields surrounding it! (don’t worry, the cows don’t stink to much.)
Rabbits you have a friend that looks after you in the highest class, owls and you take home a bunny called Berkley bunny for 2 nights, and you do anything with it exept give it away or break it! (key stage 1.)
Squirrels learning gets a bit harder, and you’re in your first proper year at Berkley! You start to read much more, and have a reading record that records all your reading! (key stage 1.)
Badgers learning gets way harder, and you get a new reading record because you’re in key stage 2!
Owls is your last class of Berkley, you look after a rabbit, and have monitor jobs that makes school much easier for the others, especially the teachers.
So, what are you waiting for? Come to Berkley!
Before I start, I would just like to say that I am having my first proper gala (swimming race, I have also done a school one, check my competitions) at Frome sport centre! I will be doing 50 metres front crawl,(2 lengths) 50 breast and 50 back stroke. Pls support me, and lets get started.
For those who don’t know what or where Mallorca is, Mallorca is also called Majorca, (Ma-your-ca)which is a little island next to Menorca, and both is in Spain. Lets tell you about my hotel.
My hotel is one in a hotel company, zafiro hotels. It has 5 pools, a 25 metre one, (the EXACT same one as the sports centres one) a pool with a bouncy castle just with no wall which you could jump of, a normal pool, an indoor pool and an 18+ pool. my room was amazing, but what was really good was the entertainment. Every night, at 9 o’clock, you’d play bingo and a quiz. sounds boring, right? WRONG! The quiz was this thing called a kahoot, and what you’d do is get your phone, scan a QR code and answer questions of a catagory! It still sounds boring… WRONG! You could win a bottle of wine and a cocktail… I know it still sounds boring, but you’ll believe me when you play it. Sometimes they swapped bingo for something else, but it would still be fun. Besides, if you didn’t like it, there’s always bracelet making or tatoos in the backround. If you are an adult, the entertainment is hosted in a bar, so you can grab yourself a drink.
thats it for this blog,
byeeeeeeee!!!!!!
Hi again, let me explain what is going to happen here: I will make a blog (this one) about what I know for SURE will happen, then I will post a blog about what already happened. Lets get talking.
Firstly, as I am posting this, its Good Friday! Its about 1:55 PM, and I am so so so so so so soo exited for tonight!
Secondly, I am going to this little island called Majorca, and yes I am going abroad, but its only a two hour flight. I am staying in a hotel, and its REALLY nice. I am not going VIP, but its still really nice.
For my first ever school trip when we actually sleep over there, I am going to Mill on the brue. For those who don’t know, Mill on the brue is an outdoor activity park and, I am mainly exited because the girls are separated from the boys, but they also give you REALLY nice food.
Hi. Hello. Yo. Good day. I have done loads posts, yet you don’t really know me unless you’re in my class. So here is some things about me.
Name: Ava
pets: Dog Fish dead gerbils
Now here is my fave things:
Film: Descendants 3
Food: pizza
Sweet food: Red velvet cake
animal: Dog
Hobby: swimming
So, that’s me!
I have already said about a tag rugby tournament. But, I have just done it! There was only 4 girls, including me. Me, Isla, Esmae and Ada. There was 14 year 4s in total, so the Berkley school teams were split into 2 teams of 7. My two other friends were playing for other schools too. Me, Isla and Esmae went to the Frome rfc to play tag rugby in Mrs Thompson’s car, also Hadley. Isla was on a team with Esmae, and there’s two girls on each team so of course me and Ada went on the other one. Team 1 (Esmae and Isla) went first. They won! Me and Ada’s team went second. Lost by 1. But the next time, we both won! I don’t know how well they went, but this is how we did it: won, lost, won, won, won.
2024 I had a trip to Sandy balls and stayed in a lodge with a hot tub!
I have already been to Sandy balls a year ago and have been begging my Mum to go there again since and here we are! Sandy balls is a lodge and caravan site in the countryside and it is AMAZING! I love it mainly because of the alpacas! Yeah, that’s right, Sandy balls has ALPACAS! Incase you don’t know what an alpaca is, its a type of lama that normally has a sus face, and watch out! Since its still a lama it can still spit in your face if you touch the wrong part of its body at the wrong time! They’re really cool because their fur is fireproof! Don’t ask how I know that.
Okay, now to stop talking about alpacas, even though they’re really cool I can’t lie.
Lets talk about how cool the actual place is, as the history of Sandy balls is pretty cool.
There’s this hill called good Friday hill in Sandy balls, there’s a heart bench there, blah blah blah, king Edward the 3rd used to sit there, blah blah blah, named the place Sandy ballas, blah blah blah, then soon the a was dropped and the place was called Sandy balls.
Now lets talk about what I did there in order.
Firstly, I couldn’t wait, I jumped straight into the hot tub. I mean, who can wait? Nobody, that’s who! Then, the next day, we went alpaca walking! When we last went to Sandy balls and walked alpacas, we walked this group of four alpacas: Deigo, Siri, Joey and Alfie! Deigo and Siri are brothers, and we love Deigo the most, especially my brother Fred. Deigo and Fred took lots of fasionaball (sus) photos together! Guess wich group we walked this time. We walked the exact same group again! More sus photos! Then the next day we went swimming in an indoor pool! Hot tub again, watched a film, then it was time to go. I bought an alpaca keyring, an alpaca fridge magnet and an alpaca teddy.
Then, the sad part was leaving. 2 nights went so fast!
thanks for reading,
hope you liked it,
byeeeeeeeeeee!
I’m very lucky, or some people might call me sooooooo lucky, but you can call me anything. I have recently been to Disney Florida, don’t be jealous, but that’s just the start.(I might be going again in 2025) This year,(2024) I’ve got MORE great holidays. Don’t be jealous when I say all these things. I don’t know for SURE, okay ? Okay, lets start with how THIS all started.
When I came home from school, my Mum asked me to fill in a chart. The chart was to write ANYWHERE and I mean ANYWHERE in the world. My family put pretty crazy ones, but some of them worked. We go to Portland like a million times each year because my Granny has her own house there which she lets all my cousins and me stay there for FREE!! So if they put down Portland on the chart even like 5 times, we would be going to Portland 5 times. No matter how many times. The second holiday that we were definitely going to is Greece
I (as usual) have loads of things going on . You might think: why do you have millions of things going on? Well, the answer to that question I do not know. We are now talking about my competitions. I have more things going on, but here are the competitions. Here we finally go.
I only have 4 competitions but they are all very exiting. The one I’m most exited for is actually the closest one to now. Its a school swimming race!:) My Mum will take me to Frome Lesiure center at 9 o’clock and what we do is : if you are competing you will swim a length and then another person will go then another then another…. (yawns) Then its your turn again! You go over and over again…Oh! I forgot to mention you will be against OTHER first schools! Also you are against year 3 year 4 year 5 and year 6!!!!!!! Don’t worry, you won’t be against year 6.
The second competition I have is:
I have a school tag rugby tournament ! We will be having training at school.
In Rabbits class the older children pick you to be their buddy. In Squirrels 🐿️ class you’d be y1 and learning gets a bit harder. In Badger class you’d be a y2 and y3 and learning is a bit harder. In 🦉 owls you’d be aY3 and y4 that’s about Berkley.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!! I’m Gracie and this is my second blog , I bet your thinking “where‘s the first?”

I brushed my teeth and I had a yummy bagle and I had some water and I got in the car with a comfy blanket. It was so soft. We had to get to Bristol airport and it took 1 hour. My tummy felt funny. It was sooo dark outside in the sky. We got into the airport. THERE WAS LOTS OF PEOPLE I WAS SUPRISED. I took my luggage and when I got on the bus and there was like 1000 people. It looked so cool. My body was so squished and my sister Phoebe was swished too. I didn’t know that though. WHEN WE GOT HERE I RAN with my family. We managed to get though all check in and we are having yummy breakfast and i had smoothie and banana and it was so yummy. I got so exited I was sooo happy and we were nearly here.

My Christmas was fun and I got a guinea pig. On Christmas day I saw my sack was full. I opened my presents . Christmas is special time to celebrate Jesus being born. His birthday is on December 25th,when we celebrate Christmas.
This is my first blog about the tooth fairy. On the 23.12.2023 I lost my first tooth. I put it under my pillow and then the tooth fairy came. She gave me a £2 coin and a card. She also took my tooth.
I got a new football kit it was a Manchester city one. When I got it I wore it the first time. I got it for Christmas I was very happy !!!!! As ever I couldn’t believe it!! . It was blue and black like stripes and it was all black . It had a pink puma sign on it.

Last Saturday I played a match against Chippenham and we won 4-2. I was a midfielder for my first time and I had to assists to Finley. One was a cross in, while the other was a throw in.
It was cold and I couldn’t feel my feet or my hands and we had to play for one hour. I was off for the 1st and 3rd quarter. Finley got the man of the match because he scored all the goals.
Back to the team. So Harvey and Harry were in defence. Orla and me were in midfield and Finley was striker. Our coach was Alex because Ian was away.
My whole life at Berkley is brilliant.
In Rabbits all of my teachers were so kind and I loved reading and it was so fun and I loved playing with playdoh inside. Outside I loved playing with my best friends. We used to play on the colour stepping stones. We did fun activities like painting and doing like Christmas stuff and Easter, Halloween and things like that.
In Squirrels all the teacher’s were so kind as well. I loved the teachers as well. I loved reading and Squirrels class was so fun to play in. I love doing art it was so so so so much fun. At the Christmas nativity we were dressed up and all things for Christmas and I loved it so much. I love the teachers. THEY ARE THE BEST.
In Badger’s which I’m in now. I’m a year 3 and I’ve stayed in badger’s class but its the best class ever. All the teacher’s are so nice in Badgers. All of the teacher’s in Berkley are so so so nice. We made cookies.
Last week I went to Disneyland and it was so fun I loved it. My favourite ride was Avengers assemble because it went up side down three times. We got to see lots of characters. My favourite was Bell because Emma Watson plays her Emma Watson is my favourite actor. I went with my cousins. One is my age and one is a little younger. And on the last night we watched a really cool show in front of the Disney castle. And in the morning, before we left we got to go into the shop and I got a water bottle and a angel teddy. well bye see you soon.
when I am sneaky I take it to far. I have a massive list:
1: I found my mum looking at holidays.
2: I know what I’m getting for Christmas.
3: I steal my brothers ps5.
4: I found some random money in my house and put it in my pocket.
5: I was awake at night at a sleepover
Don’t try this.

It was a tie between movie or choice of lessons.

Dear God
Thank you for all the trees in the world because They give us oxygen, fruit and nuts.
Me and my family went on holiday to Bulgaria. It was the best time ever.
There was seven swimming pools and there was a gaming room you had to go up to the bar and get token’s to use there you’d love it .
When I went to Gran Canairia I had so much fun. The swimming pool was so cold but the water slides were really fun. It took 4 hours to get there on plane it was really super fun. We got to watch loads of shows there. My most favourite thing at Gran Canairia was going down the small water slide into the mini pool at the bottom and getting all wet.
I really really enjoyed going to Gran Canairia!
All of the exiting things I have are mostly just really small
but somehow exiting.
I dont know why but I just cant wait!
The first thing is
I’m getting a new bed maybe a new wardrobe and maybe a MASSIVE desk.
The next thing is an
advent for Christmas. It is soooo close to now and the calendar that I have looks AMAZING!
Since its almost Christmas its almost boxing day. its 2 months until new years eve

It’s like the best christmas shop ever!
thats the end byeeeeee
In the summer holidays we went from Antalya to Alanya in Turkey. We went to a hotel called THE MARRALIS HILL we stayed there for about 1 week.
There was a pool about half the SIZE OF A FOOTBALL PITCH and another THE SIZE OF THAT! There was also a pool the size of a pond. There was a foam party and we had to use the little pool but then somebody told us we couldn’t do that so we went back to our room and had a shower.
There was a disco at around 9:29 to 9:35. We did 5 different songs. The last song we did included everybody.
There was a place where there are a whole bunch of different foods. Like on Wednesday for breakfast there were pancakes,toast and more! There was also a thing called late lunch and it was basically just leftovers and some more from lunch for the people who where late for lunch!
P.S we went with are grandparents,aunts and uncles.
In the summer holidays I went to my trampolining competition. I had to do a triple front flip . I did not now how I landed . But I got a trophy and some sweets .
On Saturdays I do a club called Stagecoach and it’s all about singing, drama and dance. We do loads of shows there and the show that we are doing at the moment is called Peter Pan and I am Peter Pan. I had to audition for a part. I auditioned for Wendy but I got Peter Pan.
As I came onto the stage I felt a bit nervous but as the show got on I gained my confidence. I felt that I would forget one of my lines or forget a scene but I didn’t and the show went really well.
I really hope that future students can gain their confidence like I did.
My singing is so fun we get to play so many games but my favourite part is the songs we are working on this term. We have been doing We Will Rock You the musical. Even though I do singing lessons we also do some dancing as well. I am getting nervous now because we are doing are exams soon and after that we are doing a show. Well anyways I need to go now see you soon bye
At Berkley I had a wonderful time in every class.
The teachers are amazing and wonderful. They are the best.
The classes are amazing and decorated nicely.
We have a church to worship and think about people who we love.
Some times it’s sad that your friends have moved to Selwood.
To everyone in the school. Thank you for being kind and helpful to me bye.
My show was at the Merlin theatre. It was so much fun but there were so many people and I got very nervous . My heart was racing and it felt like there were a million people but there were only 500 people . My song was amazing. I chose Perfect by Anne Marie because everyone is perfect in their own way and the theme was inspirational women. I had my own solo and it was so long . We had to get there at 3 in the afternoon to practice, then the show started at 7 and ended at half past 10.It was great fun
See you soon bye.
HI everyone. My name is Matilda and I’m 8 yeas old . I want to tell you all about how much I love gymnastics. It’s the coolest thing ever. It’s like a mix flipping and going upside down, dancing and being very bendy. My favourite thing about gymnastics is the bars because it’s fun. I look forward to Fridays because I get to do 3 hours of gymnastics. I had a competition. I came 8th and it was so much fun and I did different events .
Bye.
I have two pet fish. They are called Mouwee and Aidin and a snail called Shelly. She likes to hide a lot.
I have a new baby cousin who is a boy . I held him and he was asleep. I held him when he was asleep. I held him for an hour. It was fun for me.
On Saturday I excitedly jumped in into the car because we were going to the Newt joneis.
When I got to the Newt it was hard to find a parking spot at the Newt. We excitedly ran down the path to get our pass checked. By the checking table there were big juciy apples.
Me and my family went to a caravan park called Oakdene forest park.There was a disco every night called lets go nuts.There was a fancy dress party I won and There was bingo every night.
And we did archery. It was me and dad vs Grandad and Paps
Me and dad won then we went to a pirate party.
After that we went to another party but this time it was a Robin Hood party.
Oakdene forest park was amazing you’d love to go there.
My dad found some Kestrel chicks in an old owl box. We rang a local bird expert who came out to our farm and today we watched the Kestrels being tagged. It took ages to get safely up the ladder to tag them.There were two of them ,we think they are 3 weeks old.I got to hold them . VERY FLUFFY!!!!!!!!
The Zoe Ball Radio 2 Breakfast show set a home schooling challenge every day, the challenge for Tuesday 28th April was to write a short story using the letters of the alphabet in order, here is my story:

Today I made a 🌈.
I used a mirror and a fantastic glass with water 💦. We shone a torch at the mirror in the glass of water but a rainbow didn’t come. Then we tried a torch and a CD. We shone the torch at the CD and a rainbow appeared!
Then we did some tricks with a pencil and water. We put the pencil in the water and it seemed like the pencil was broken. It looked bent but when we took it out it looked fine! You should try it! It is called REFRACTION.
To Mrs Thompson

When we arrived at Mill on the Brue we waited outside for a little bit until some people came and put our stuff in a big truck so we did not have to walk up the hill with all our heavy suitcases. When we got up the hill we put all out things in the main house. The main house is were we slept.All the boys slept in honeysuckle and all the girls slept in beech. When we got up to our rooms we choose who we were sleeping on the bunkbed with,I was with India. When we had all chose who we were sleeping with we all unpacked our stuff into the draws under the beds we all waited by the meeting point and we were told what group we were in.After we got told what group we were in we went to our firs activity, my first activity was ice breakers which is a game where you got to know each other. After ice breakers we did egg drop, egg drop is when you have to cover lots of soft stuff over the egg and then you drop it over a balcony and see if it cracked.Then we had lunch which was chilly and for pudding was jelly. My 2 favorite activities were leap of faith and canoeing in leap of faith me Phoebe and Spencer were the only people that touched it and in canoeing sadly I fell in and it was freezing cold. At bedtime India and Imogen woke everyone up because they were shining their torches around the room and chatting very loudly so we were all very tird in the morning.
