Welcome to the first issue of<br />
The <strong>Borras</strong> Knight!<br />
Welcome to the beginning of <strong>Borras</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>School</strong> newspaper, The <strong>Borras</strong> Knight. Over the<br />
last month Year 6 have been working hard researching, reporting, interviewing and planning this<br />
very first issue. The newspaper is jam-packed with information from the classrooms, after-school<br />
clubs, trips and pupils achievements. We have so mnay features including, ‘Classroom Spotlight’,<br />
‘Meet the Teacher’, ‘Achievements’, ‘Headteacher’s Corner’ and ‘Weird and Wonderful Facts’.<br />
There are quizzes to complete and competitions to enter where you can win cool prizes. We<br />
hope you like the look of our newspaper as we could not have had this printed without the elp of<br />
our sponsors. A big thanks to them. We really hope you enjoy reading our newspaper as much<br />
as we have enjoyed writing it. We’re already brainstorming features for the next issue out in<br />
spring!<br />
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year<br />
A Christmas Carol<br />
We hope you all enjoyed our Christmas Carol Service.<br />
We have been working hard on learning our songs and<br />
reading to give the best possible<br />
show. The orchestra performed<br />
well and they worked<br />
hard learning their music.<br />
Thank you to Mrs Rhodes-<br />
Leader who helped us learn<br />
and sing the songs. We hope<br />
you enjoyed it as we definitely<br />
did!<br />
Rare Death Head Caterpillar Spotted in Wildlife Area<br />
When I found the caterpillar I thought it was just a leaf but I looked<br />
closer and it was actually a Death Head Caterpillar. The moth is usually<br />
found in southern Europe and north Africa and is rarely found in<br />
Britain, it is even rarer to see the caterpillar before it transforms into a<br />
moth. It is called the Deaths Head Hawkmoth because it has a skull<br />
and crossbones on the back of its head and ribs. I probably wouldn't<br />
find it again because it is extremely rare, and although it’s bright it<br />
spends most of its time in treetops. Sometimes it is found on the<br />
ground eating potato leaves and rummaging around for food.
This term some<br />
year 3 pupils have been working on<br />
a different dances weekly after<br />
school on Mondays. They also<br />
made some of their own dance routines<br />
up. They performed to Michael<br />
Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ and gave the audience<br />
a real fright. They dressed up<br />
in ghoulish costumes. They looked<br />
very scary.<br />
This year the Choir and people who<br />
play musical instruments went to the William Aston hall.<br />
We went there to listen to the Welsh Chamber Orchestra. There<br />
was Violins, Cellos, Double-bases, Violas, Oboes, French horns,<br />
Cornets, Trumpets, Clarinets and more!! The trip was excellent.<br />
To celebrate space week, Techniquest brought the solar system to<br />
our school. Starlab showed us places in space like the Milky Way,<br />
the Galaxy and most importantly, the planets. Starlab taught us lots<br />
of facts about space, and special properties of the different planets.<br />
We visited Pluto, Jupiter and Mars. They also told us about constellations<br />
and showed us Greek Gods in the sky such as the mighty<br />
Orion! It was brilliant!!!<br />
At <strong>Borras</strong><br />
<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>School</strong> we<br />
have had some new arrivals in the<br />
form of Year 3. We asked some of<br />
them what they thought of the<br />
school so far. Tomos Owen 3S replied<br />
’I think it was hard but fun, I<br />
think it is better than the infants…’ .<br />
Haydn Fairhurst also agreed with<br />
Tomos. Joey Davies 3N also gave<br />
his view on the school, he said ‘ I<br />
like the juniors better because they<br />
let you bring your own snack in’.<br />
The Cover Dale<br />
puppets came to our school on the<br />
2nd of December. They were great .They<br />
have been here for the last two years . Every<br />
one was clapping along and singing. They had<br />
talking donkeys and singing sheep . We hope<br />
they come back next year, so we can see another<br />
one of their amazing Christmas stories.<br />
The puppets looked great and they were really<br />
funny.
Year 6 went on a trip to Eden camp it give<br />
them a chance to see what they used in WWll I think that if you<br />
asked the year 6 there favourite hut would be hut 3 and 5.Hut 3 was the German U<br />
Boat and Hut 5 was the Blitz! We interviewed Year 6, Jessica says’ It was really fun! All the<br />
Huts were really exciting, I really liked the Blitz and I liked the Music hall! Beth says’ It was<br />
mint.. My favourite hut was hut 3 because it was the scariest. Rosa says’ It was dead cool! My<br />
favourite hut was hut 3 because it scared me to death. I didn't like the underground station because<br />
it stank! Ffion said’ I loved it! It was the best school trip yet!<br />
Yr 4 celebrated Roald Dahl Day in September. Roald Dahl<br />
was, and still is, one of children’s most loved authors. He<br />
wrote many books including Boy, James and the Giant Peach<br />
and Matilda. Year 4 started the year off reading the classic Roald Dahl story The<br />
Twits. They really enjoyed it, especially when Mrs Twit put worms in Mr Twits dinner!<br />
Yuck!. On the day, Year 4 cooked eye ball cakes, researched facts about Roald<br />
Dahl and read books.<br />
Year 5 were involved in the Erddig<br />
Art Project with Eyton <strong>School</strong>. Over the few weeks the<br />
class and Eyton school worked together to produce<br />
some excellent pieces of art work. The children enjoyed<br />
meeting the other children. The children went ot Erddig<br />
to sketch the surrounding area. Then they painted their<br />
sketching’s onto canvas. Here is a picture of some of<br />
the art produced by Year 5.<br />
As part of Year 4’s Art topic ‘Journeys’ they visited<br />
their old school to create some land art. <strong>Borras</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />
Infant <strong>School</strong> were very kind to let us use their forest<br />
school area. They went in groups of about six or seven<br />
and collected natural materials to make pictures. They<br />
made all sorts of different pictures. Freya’s group made<br />
a sun. All the class enjoyed it very much.
Fundraising<br />
We have organised a variety of activities this term to raise money for a variety of charities<br />
Rev Gary came to our school to deliver an assembly about a charity called Tearfund. Tearfund is a<br />
Christian relief agency who work with churches around the world to eradicate poverty. Year 5 also<br />
helped him to deliver the assembly. The assembly raised our awareness of the needs of others.<br />
On Friday 14th November we had a non-uniform day and everyone brought £2.00 to put on Pudsey.<br />
Year 6 set up stalls to raise more money. We were delighted to hear that we had raised just under<br />
£700.00! We split the money between Children in Need and the Tearfund Charity.<br />
Thank you to those who donated old<br />
clothes towards the Bag 2 <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Ben and Lewis R from<br />
Year 6 are currently selling<br />
Little Christmas teddy<br />
bears for £1.00 each. The<br />
money we raise will be<br />
donated to Nightingale<br />
House.<br />
Every year we collect<br />
for Operation Christmas<br />
Child. We were<br />
aiming to beat our<br />
record from last year<br />
of 50 shoeboxes, to<br />
send to the most<br />
neediest children.<br />
Guess what? We did<br />
it! Thanks to you, we<br />
collected 120<br />
shoeboxes! That<br />
means you have given<br />
120 children a happy<br />
Christmas.<br />
Inset: pupils who<br />
brought in shoeboxes<br />
On November 11th of the 11th hour, we remembered<br />
those who fought for us in the<br />
war by having 2 minutes of silence on<br />
Poppy Day. Megan Allmand and Jak<br />
Hughes featured in the Evening Leader to<br />
let the community know we collected money<br />
for Poppy Appeal. We raised £97.47.
We have had some<br />
new maths books. Lots of children<br />
think they are helpful and are very good, and are<br />
very thankful for the books. We asked some of the<br />
children what they thought, Jenna Roberts Y6 replied<br />
“Yes I think they are very helpful”. Monika<br />
Pugh-Jones Y6 thinks they are better than the old<br />
Maths books because she likes how the activities<br />
help you learn and understand aspects of Maths<br />
more.<br />
There was a twist to our school disco<br />
this year by having a fancy dress theme. Everybody<br />
looked great and had a great time. The usual<br />
sweets and pop were on sale thanks to the P.T.A.<br />
There were also some good music put on by Mr<br />
Dixon, thank you to him. Lots of people got up and<br />
had a little dance and were throwing a variety of<br />
shapes! A big thank you to the P.T.A for putting on<br />
the disco and thank you to DJ Mr Dixon aswell.<br />
The purpose of the school council<br />
is to listen to the views of the children<br />
to make the school a better<br />
place. The members of this year’s<br />
school council are: Jak Hughes,<br />
Jenna Roberts, Nick Paxton, Millie<br />
Jeffery, Matthew Adamson, Robyn<br />
Williams, Leon Griffiths, Caitlin<br />
Dop, Jordan Foulkes, Daniel<br />
Gaughran and Ellie Custance. We<br />
will keep you updated with what<br />
we’re working on.<br />
We have had<br />
some new English books. The new books<br />
are greats because we have new reading books<br />
for our group reading too. The stories are new an<br />
the books are very colourful. Many of the stories<br />
have been written by well known authors. We<br />
have done different work from the books such as<br />
writing recipes and newspaper reports. Emily<br />
Holden Y4 said, 2” I like the stories, the books<br />
are colourful and new”.<br />
This year we had a<br />
Christmas Bingo in the<br />
school hall. Everyone had<br />
fun and a lot of prizes<br />
were won. The prizes<br />
were chocolate, chocolate<br />
and...chocolate! All the<br />
children brought in chocolate<br />
in payment for a non<br />
uniform day in school.<br />
Thank you to the PTA for organising it.

Classroom Spotlight<br />
Year 3<br />
Year 3’s most exciting topic this term was Art where they<br />
painted relationships. They had their photos taken with their<br />
friends and then they painted the portraits. They really enjoyed<br />
it. In Maths Year 4 have been learning about 3D shapes. In<br />
Geography they have been learning about rivers.<br />
Year 3 also participated in a dance show which they had been<br />
practising after school.<br />
Year 5<br />
This term year 5’s most exciting topic is their science topic<br />
about the environment, water pollution, noise pollution and<br />
recycling. They have carried out many investigation into the<br />
effects of oil polluting water. They also worked with Eaton<br />
Primary <strong>School</strong> as part of The Erddig Art Project. They went<br />
around Erddig to sketch the surroundings and then produced<br />
their work onto canvas. They had a lot of fun.<br />
HIU<br />
The HIU went to the Wrexham Museum to see an exhibition ‘Tomb<br />
Builders’. They saw stone age tools, weapons and skeletons..<br />
They have also been researching about the stone age on the internet.<br />
Shiver me timbers! At the beginning of term, we started a topic<br />
on contemporary pirates. We drew pictures and carried out research<br />
on the internet. We couldn't believe it when Somali pirates<br />
had taken over a ship in October.<br />
Year 4<br />
Year 4 have had quite a few exciting topics this term. In history<br />
they have been studying the Tudors. They have learned about<br />
Henry VIII and how mean he was to his wives. They also created<br />
mini fact files about the wives. In geography they have<br />
been studying contrasting climates.<br />
Year 4’s art topic this term has been journeys. They went to<br />
<strong>Borras</strong> Infant <strong>School</strong> to create some land art which was really<br />
exciting.<br />
Year 6<br />
This term we have been focusing a lot on history, looking at<br />
Pearl Harbour, World War II and Winston Churchill. In art we<br />
have been drawing people with different emotions. Some of<br />
the drawing were really funny and we all really enjoyed. We<br />
went on a trip to Eden Camp, it was great fun. We wish we<br />
could go again. In English we have been looking at descriptive<br />
language in poems. Year 6 then wrote many poems of<br />
their own.
Must reads for juniors and infants this Christmas<br />
Banana<br />
By Ed Vere<br />
I thought this was a<br />
very good book for a<br />
child aged 4. It has<br />
very bright colourful<br />
pictures. Very few<br />
words are in the<br />
book so you can<br />
retell the story yourself<br />
as you move<br />
through the book.<br />
Born to Run<br />
By Michael Morpurgo<br />
Michael Morpurgo<br />
has written a moving,<br />
compulsively readable<br />
story of an innocent<br />
animal and the<br />
people – both good<br />
and bad, both young<br />
and old – who shape<br />
the course of his life.<br />
I enjoyed this book<br />
because it uses extremely<br />
good descriptive<br />
writing. However,<br />
I would have<br />
liked more pictures in<br />
the book.<br />
Bear in the Cave<br />
By Michael Rosen<br />
Journey with Bear<br />
from his quiet home<br />
by the seaside to the<br />
noisy city, and back.<br />
This is a good picture<br />
book for infants which<br />
is easy to read too.<br />
Find out what happens<br />
to Bear when he<br />
gets lost on his journey.<br />
Tough Jobs Pirate by<br />
Helen Greathead<br />
Do you need extra<br />
pocket money? Can<br />
you stand the sight<br />
of blood? Will you<br />
eat absolutely anything?<br />
Are you<br />
good at sewing and<br />
cleaning? Did you<br />
tick yes for most of<br />
the questions? if you<br />
could you tick yes for<br />
most of the questions<br />
could be a<br />
pirate. You must survive<br />
attacking and<br />
defending with the<br />
your ship…… I recommend<br />
this for Christmas.<br />
It was really<br />
good.<br />
On the edge of the<br />
forest high in the old<br />
oak tree sits Jub,<br />
shaking out the<br />
happy endings into<br />
the violet air…<br />
Enchanting and moving,<br />
it really grabs<br />
your attention and<br />
it makes you want to<br />
read on. The illustrations<br />
are lovely. The<br />
story is easy to read<br />
for young children. I<br />
would definitely recommend<br />
this book<br />
for Christmas.<br />
Ottoline an The<br />
yellow cat by Chris<br />
Riddel<br />
Meet Ottoline Brown<br />
and her best friend,<br />
Mr Munroe .A string<br />
of daring burglaries<br />
have taken place in<br />
Big City and precious<br />
lapdogs are disappearing<br />
all over<br />
town.. Something<br />
must be done !<br />
I enjoyed this book<br />
because the story is<br />
good and the pictures<br />
are lovely. I also<br />
liked the postcards.<br />
Book Club<br />
Meerkat Mail by<br />
Emily Grave<br />
Sunny, the meerkat<br />
lives with his enormous<br />
family in the<br />
Kalahari desert.<br />
They are all very<br />
close...so close, in<br />
fact, that one day<br />
Sunny decides he's<br />
had enough and<br />
packs his bags. But<br />
on his journey a<br />
shadowy figure<br />
follows him. Who is<br />
it wonder? I liked<br />
the pictures in this<br />
book. A really good<br />
story for infants<br />
A Fall at the Quarry<br />
By Sian Lewis<br />
Adventures of a<br />
young slate quarryman.<br />
Whizzing down<br />
the mountain on a<br />
wild car! That is Jack’s<br />
dream! A good<br />
Welsh story about<br />
important events in<br />
Welsh history. I liked<br />
this book a lot.<br />
Each term you will have the opportunity to choose from<br />
a range of books from as cheap as £1.99. Not only that but the more<br />
books we buy the more free books we get for our school library<br />
Varmints by Helen<br />
Ward<br />
There was once a time<br />
when there was only<br />
the sound of bees and<br />
the wind in the wiry<br />
grass, the low murmuring<br />
of moles in the<br />
cool dark earth. So<br />
starts this poignant tale<br />
by award winning<br />
author HELEN<br />
WARD…..<br />
I really liked this book.<br />
Lovely illustrations<br />
which tell the story<br />
well.<br />
There’s an awful lot of<br />

McNoughton<br />
‘I am a jolly giant,<br />
I have no cares or<br />
woes, if you don’t give<br />
me all your cash I’Il<br />
punch you in the<br />
nose’ A book of silly<br />
poems and pictures.<br />
I thought that this<br />
book was brilliant. It<br />
was really funny and I<br />
would definitely read<br />
it again.

Once upon a time a farmer went to market and purchased a fox, a goose,<br />
and a bag of beans. On his way home, the farmer came to the bank of a river<br />
and hired a boat. But in crossing the river by boat, the farmer could carry only<br />
himself and a single one of his purchases - the fox, the goose, or the bag of the<br />
beans. If left alone, the fox would eat the goose, and the goose would eat the<br />
beans. The farmer's challenge was to carry himself and his purchases to the far<br />
bank of the river, leaving each purchase intact. How did he do it?<br />
Stephen challenges Jak to…Think About It<br />
Apparently Jak is the brains of Year 6. He is even smarter than Mr<br />
Roberts! So I set him a challenge to carry out some serious think‐<br />
ing. Find out how he got on.<br />
Is eating bogeys bad for you?<br />
This got Jak really baffled, I was amazed he did not know the answer.<br />
Oh my gosh!<br />
Well...According to statistics 3% of people eat their own bogeys. Dr<br />
Bischinger says that people who eat their own bogeys are healthier<br />
and happier. Eating your bogeys strengthens your immune system!<br />
There you go eating bogeys is good for you. However, you shouldn't<br />
eat your own earwax. It isn’t good stuff!<br />
Why do we have a April Fools day?<br />
A very hard question again do you think Jak knows well he thought he did but he was wrong. He is really<br />
struggling. The reason why we have April Foold Day is that new year is celebrated on January 1st and the<br />
people who celebrated it on April 1st were called April Fools.<br />
Why is the sea blue?<br />
Hmm this was a very tricky question. Jak had a very good guess this time. He though it was the reflection<br />
from the sky. Guess what? He was right! The sea is colourless but it appears blue because of the sky’s<br />
