Year 6 Takes on the Haiku Challenge! 🎌

-

 

Our Year 6 pupils have stepped into the world of Japanese poetry as they enter The Japan Society’s Haiku Competition 2025–2026. 📜✨

A haiku is a tiny poem—just three lines—that captures a moment, often inspired by nature or emotions. This year’s theme is “Sound”, so our writers have been tuning in to everything from birdsong to playground laughter to spark their creativity.



They’ve worked incredibly hard: listening, drafting, editing and even creating artwork to accompany their poems. The focus, effort and imagination they've shown has been truly impressive!

With entries now ready to go, we’re wishing Year 6 the very best of luck. Whatever the outcome, they’ve already achieved something special. 🌟

Bawdsey Day 2

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
