Knowledge begins with respect for God (Proverbs 1:7)
This half-term’s value is ‘Hope’ (1 Corinthians 13:13)
Year 5 Residential Meeting for Parents and Carers
There will be a meeting for parents and carers of the Year 5 children attending the residential trip to Winmarleigh Hall on the 11th – 13th May. The meeting will take place straight after school this Thursday (30th April) in the Hawks’ classroom.
WOW Walking to School Badges
Thank you for supporting the WOW Walking to School initiative. Our school is consistently in the top few schools in Blackburn with Darwen for the number of journeys made by foot and the children are definitely healthier as a result.
Children only need to wear the most recent badge so from this week, please make sure your child only wears their most recent badge on their jumper. Some children have started to put their badges on their reading bag – this is a great idea and saves damaging school jumpers. It also eliminates the need to remove the badges before washing jumpers. I recommend this option to you.
Brunel Nursery School
We still have places in Brunel Nursery for the Summer Term. If you have a child who has turned three and is not attending any type of nursery education, I would strongly encourage you to make the most of this opportunity. There are only three nursery schools left in Blackburn; we are very fortunate to have Brunel on our doorstep.
Falcons’ Class Assembly
Our Falcons’ class will be leading assembly this Thursday, 30th April. Parents and carers of children in this class are encouraged to come along and join us. It starts at 8.45am.
Picking children up at the end of the school day
At the end of the last term we noticed that quite a number of children were being brought to the office at 3.10pm as they had not been collected by parents or carers at the correct time. Please make sure that you arrive at school ready to collect your child(ren) at 3.00pm.
INSET - School Closure Day
A final reminder that school will be closed to children this Friday, 1st May. Staff will be taking part in important training on that day.
