Bablake Junior School

Bablake U10s at the RGS Worcester 8s Cricket Festival 🏏

Our U10s enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of cricket competing against some of the best Prep Schools in the Midlands. Despite a loss in their first game against a strong West House side, they bounced back to beat King’s St Alban’s and RGS Worcester. 🦁

The team were delighted to finish joint third overall! Congratulations to everyone involved! 👏

Year 3 DT Food Success – Dough Creations! 🍕

Our Year 3 pupils became talented young chefs as they designed and made their very own pizzas, twists, and dough balls!

They carefully followed clear, step-by-step instructions to prepare their dough, learning how to measure ingredients and work safely in the kitchen. They discovered how yeast works and why lukewarm water is important to help the dough rise - a wonderful introduction to food science.

They used their own designs to shape the dough before adding a variety of tasty toppings. It was wonderful to see their creativity come to life! Throughout the session, pupils practiced important safety skills, worked collaboratively and showed great enthusiasm. Most importantly, they had lots of fun while developing new cooking skills as well as taking it in turns to wash the equipment afterwards.

Even more Bushcraft adventures 🌲🔥

Year 5 took on first aid challenges - responding to a “plane crash” in the woods and caring for injured survivors.

Alongside this, they enjoyed bracelet making, whittling, pirate singing, marshmallow trap-building and endless team games.

A brilliant mix of fun, teamwork and problem-solving, with so many moments to strengthen friendships and confidence 💛

Year 5 Bushcraft Adventure 🌲🔥What an unforgettable trip!

From camping under the stars and exploring the wilderness, to preparing fish, baking pizzas over a wood fire and building dens, our children fully embraced outdoor life.

Face paint at the ready, they developed resilience, independence and strong friendships, all while enjoying the grounding power of nature.

A truly special experience for everyone involved 💚

Chess Club fun in the Sun! ♟️

Last week pupils worked together in our ‘hand and brain’ games before taking on the challenge of fast-paced giant chess.

From speedy showdowns to relaxed games in the shade - something for everyone!

💦🤽‍♂️ Water Polo Club in action! 🤽‍♀️💦

Our fabulous water polo club sessions are full of energy and skill-building from start to finish. Pupils begin by swimming lengths like true polo players, before moving on to treading water in a variety of challenging ways. Ball skills are then put to the test — and finally, it’s game time!

Donning their polo hats, the two teams played with incredible competitiveness and spirit. We saw fantastic strength and balance on display, with impressive passing, determined defending and some brilliant goals scored!

👏 What a brilliant way to build fitness, teamwork and confidence in the water!
