As we reach the end of another busy half term, we would like to say a huge thank you for your continued support.

It has been a very full and exciting few weeks in school! The children have been busy with their learning, enjoying school trips, taking part in wonderful productions, and representing our school out in the community. Our visit to a local care home was especially special, as the children helped to lift the spirits of local residents with their smiles, kindness and enthusiasm.

It has been truly amazing to see our children shine, we are incredibly proud of them all.

As the festive period approaches, we recognise that this time of year is celebrated in many different ways. We would like to wish all our families a happy, restful and enjoyable break, whatever and however you choose to celebrate. We hope the holiday brings time to relax, recharge and enjoy being together.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday 6th January, when school reopens.

Year 5 and 6 have well and truly been getting into the Christmas spirit by taking part in a fun-filled Deco Week packed with creative activities. 

In Year 5, pupils created festive cards using a wide range of materials, designed colourful calendars using an exciting paint-splatting technique or created patterns using felt tip pens, and made Christmas hats ready to wear while enjoying their Christmas dinner. They also crafted decorations using lollipop sticks and developed their sewing skills to add festive detail. To top off a wonderful week, the children were delighted by a surprise visit from the reindeer, making the experience even more magical. 

In Year 6, they have been busy showcasing their creativity through a range of festive activities. They used marbling techniques to produce stunning nighttime rooftop scenes for their Christmas cards, as well as designing calendars that highlight elements of each season. Pupils also crafted decorative pipe cleaner ornaments and made their own Christmas hats, ready to wear while enjoying their Christmas dinner. The activities were a wonderful opportunity for the children to explore different artistic techniques while celebrating the festive season. 

⚽ KS2 Girls Football: Harriers Fly High! 

On Friday 12th December, our KS2 girls’ football team, the Belswains Harriers, put on an outstanding performance at home, storming to a 5–0 victory against Two Waters Primary School!

Poppy was in outstanding form, scoring an incredible four goals, while Alex sealed the victory with a fantastic finishing goal just before the final whistle. With multiple assists and strong midfield tackles supporting our goalscorers, Lyra was deservedly awarded Player of the Match, as chosen by the Two Waters players themselves. The whole team played brilliantly, demonstrating excellent teamwork throughout, supported by some superb saves from our goalkeeper, Kiara. As this was the Harriers’ first ever competitive match, we could not be prouder of their effort, confidence and sportsmanship. An amazing achievement- well done girls! Go Harriers! 🎉
