Newsletter – 9th October 2015
Dear Parents,
This week has definitely seen the summer weather leaving us, may I just remind you that children
need to have a pair of wellies and a waterproof coat in school. This means that we can continue
to use our beautiful school grounds despite the less than beautiful conditions.
I also need to ask that children whose hair is longer than shoulder length is tied back; that hair
accessories are black, red or red and white gingham, and that children do not have braids. This
maintains a smart appearance and also helps to stop the spread of head lice.
Mrs Bishop would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has sent their warm wishes and gifts
for baby Freddie. She really appreciates it and it just serves to remind her what a wonderful
community we are part of at Belbroughton CE Primary School.
Library Service and Library Van visit
I would like to say a big thank you to the PTA and all those
who have supported the events over the past months. We
have quite a few things we are going to be able to do due to
the incredible work and support we have from our parents.
Firstly, we have been able to buy in the Library Service for Schools, which will
allow us to have ‘book boxes’ to support the topics in class as well as sets of
guided reading books and a visit from the Library Van. This will allow us to have
a more varied range of books for the children to be able to access.
Maths ‘Superhero’ Week
The children have had a
fantastic week doing different
maths challenges. Thank you
for all your support with the
children’s costumes
on Monday – they all
looked amazing and
so many different
Superheroes!
Teacher
Education Day
We have
confirmed our
final TE Day,
which will be on
Friday 27th May.
National Maths Day –
Following on from Maths week we are going to
take part in the National Maths Day on
Wednesday 14th October. The children should all
have brought home a slip of paper with their
logon codes and web address for them to practise the games at
home. The challenge score will reset next week when the
official day start but feel free to practise as much as you can.
The children will log on in school time next week as a class to
compete against each other and children from across the
World to see who the best mathematician is!
Children in Need
We are one of a lucky few who have been chosen for a visit
from Pudsey Bear. We are awaiting an exact date for his visit
but in the meantime please could you start collecting pennies
and two pence coins. These will form part of the challenge
on the day or lead up to it. I will divulge the challenge just
before half term.
