Year 5 enjoying the Joy of Moving Project

Bristol Rovers Community Trust are visiting our Year 5 children every Wednesday afternoon.

The Joy of Moving project is funded by the EFL Trust and focusses on teaching the children about living a healthy lifestyle.  There are classroom sessions running alongside a PE lesson.  The sessions focus on physical activity, diet, nutrition and hydration.

The children are thoroughly enjoying the sessions run by coaches from the community trust.  The project continues for the rest of the term.

Attendance Champions

Sycamore and Elm maintain their 100% start to the school year, which is very impressive.  Ash, Beech, Willow and Poplar all sit at 99% and five other classes exceed our target of 97%.  

It can be tricky deciding whether to keep your child off school when they are unwell.

There are government guidelines for schools that state when children should be kept off and when they shouldn't.  The NHS offer a handy guide to support parents in making the decision.

Please do ring the absence line to let us know if your child is unwell and not attending school.

Our Blackhorse Champion

Respect is our focus this week and Krisha in Elm has been chosen as our Champion.

Miss Bettany writes'Since starting in Year 3, Krisha has already shown everyone what it means to be a Blackhorse Champion.  She is a role model to her peers and has set a wonderful example to everyone in Elm. She consistently goes above and beyond in every aspect of her learning and school life, approaching everything with enthusiasm, kindness and a fantastic attitude. Since joining Elm Class, numerous members of staff have already taken the time to comment on her excellent behaviour, impeccable manners and respectful nature. Krisha is a pleasure to teach and an absolute delight to have in our classroom. Well done Krisha!
