Dear Parents and Carers,

Prayer and reflection space

Many thanks to Matt Broughton, vicar of St Giles who spent two days at our school this week, meeting with classes and helping them explore universal themes such as gratitude forgiveness and stillness. Matt was impressed by our children's maturity and interest, and we will be feeding some of the children's 'Big questions' into future assemblies.

British Science Week

Next week in school, we will be celebrating British Science Week. The theme this year is Connections. Your child will be taking part in some different activities. We have speakers coming in to talk about a range of topics and each class will connect with another to share some of their Science learning from this year. Ask your child what they have been up to! We will share more next week and will also be launching our annual science competition.

Comic Relief Day 17 March

You will be relieved to read that there is no special outfit required on the day! The theme this year is to dress ‘red’ to toe. You can wear one red item or come all in red (including school uniform if you wish)! For children who choose to dress up, the school is asking for a voluntary £1 donation.  Please make your £1 donation via your ScoPay account.  All proceeds will go to Comic Relief. 

Healthy Living Assemblies

On Tuesday we welcomed Laura from Hutchison's catering. Laura is a nutritionist and spoke with all children in separate assemblies for EYFS/KS1; Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 based around healthy eating. The children found out about what makes a healthy meal and answered a range of questions from the children.  The children asked so many fantastic questions, including: what does lactose intolerant mean? What do vegans eat? Why do some vegetarian's eat fish?

We are hoping that later in the year Hutchison's will be able to run healthy eating cooking workshops for all children- watch this space!

Bramhope in Bloom Competition

Bramhope in Bloom are holding their annual poster competition! Winning entries will be displayed around the village.

There are two templates, links below, on which the children may do their own design.  Space has been allocated below the heading, so pupils can write their name and class. Template 1 / Template 2.

Pupils may wish to include flowers, bees, butterflies, insects or perhaps a crown for Charles' coronation!

Bramhope in Bloom are holding a coffee morning on Wednesday 5 April, when they will display all the entries and choose the winners. Therefore, please send all entries to the school office, by the end of March. A winner will be chosen from each class. 

We have lots of lovely prizes to give away and look forward to seeing your designs!

Do you get magazines at home? We need your help!

We would like you to bring in your magazines from home when you have read them, for us to enjoy at school. Examples are The Week Junior, National Geographic Kids or any other educational magazines...

Please give your magazines to your class teacher or me, and you will get a house point!
