Year 5 & 6 Writing Assignment "What's In The News?"

As part of our PSHE studies, Year 5&6 have been looking at What’s in the news. We have learnt that people like to read about news that happens in their local area and that articles are written to appeal to a target audience. We have written some articles to appeal to other children in the area who might be interested in what we are doing in our local area. We hope you enjoy reading them!

I go to Sierra Bernia School and next to the school there’s a studio of ballet. I have been going to ballet since 2003. Every summer we practice to do a show in the casa de cultura. I like classic ballet. I go on Tuesdays and Fridays. I like to go there because it’s very interesting. By Ariadna (Year 5).

My name is Ella Mae and I live in La Nucia and I got o Sierra Bernia School. Near my school there is a theatre group called Broadway and we practice at Don Quijote. We did a big performance at the casa de cultura in Alfaz. I was the star of the show, I was Peter Pan. This year will be my third year, it is very friendly and I love it!

Jimbo and Sharon Gaffeny run the Broadway. Sharon was on television when she was younger. We do a pantomime at Christmas and Benidorm’s got talent in February. We also do a summer show, a Hallowe’en show and then back to the pantomime.

The times are Thursday and Friday, 5:30 to 7:30 and on Saturday 10:30 to 2:30. I am ten years old and it’s very fun if you love singing and dancing or acting. By Ella Mae (Year 6).

I am Amalia and when I came to Sierra Bernia School, I made lots of friends and we’ve got kind teachers like Mrs Sweet and Mrs Letchford. You can eat in the comedor or you can bring a packed lunch. I’ve got a friend called Ella, she’s cool. I am a good singer and I like to sing Hannah Montana or Miley Cirus songs, and Camp Rock songs. By Amalia (Year 5).

In Sierra Bernia School we are learning all about spies and the gadgets they use. In Maths we are learning about area and perimeter and in science we are learning about planets and the Sun. I have learned that it takes a year for the Earth to go around the Sun. By Joe (Year 5).

Lower School Visit To Jungle Book

On Thursday 14th January Years 1 - 6 were taken on a wonderful day out to see a production of Jungle Book in Alicante.

The performance was in Spanish with English songs, and was visually stunning.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable day with lunch in the park after the performance.




Matthew and Emma enjoyed the park!







Excellent costumes and a great production!

It's Father Christmas - Look It Really Is!

The end of term is always an enjoyable time for all the students at SBS.

The excitement in the Infant block was amazing as rumours of the arrival of Father Christmas spread! It was some party and everyone received their own special gift from Old Nick!

The party went with a real swing and it was a fitting reward for all the hard work everyone has done this term. We'll let the pictures speak for themselves.......

Carol Singing In Alfaz Del Pi

With Christmas approaching fast the Infant School and Year 3 headed down to the centre of Alfaz for a carol singing extravaganza!

The children have been practicing hard for several weeks and, accompanied by staff and parents, they really helped to bring the Christmas Spirit to our local community.

Well done to everyone who sang so heartily!

Save The Children Charity Event

Each year the school supports many charities, both local and international. One of our big annual events is the sponsored walk and run for Save The Children.

During the last week of November both Junior and Senior school took time out from their busy shedules to raise money for this worthwhile cause. These were great days and helps our pupils to realise that there are many in the world far less fortunate than they are.

From the top - Mrs Vaughn and Mrs Luckhurst organising the walkers. Middle - we can run this no problem. Bottom - how much further!

And just to prove they did it too - the Upper after completing their run!


Congratulations to everyone who took part and did their bit to help others.
