Brinsworth Whitehill Primary School
Autumn Term 2023
Welcome back!
It is an absolute pleasure to welcome all our children back after the summer break. The children have made a positive start to the new year and we have been really impressed with their attitudes to learning.
We have a very busy school term ahead, with lots for the children to get involved with.
Breakfast and Tea Club
Children in Breakfast and Tea Club have had lots of fun doing lots of craft acitivities before the summer holidays.
Mrs Griffiths has helped the children make pompoms, hammer bead decorations, and much more.
Breakfast Club is a great way for children to get prepared for the school day and Tea Club is a nice way for children to unwind at the end of a school day.
Cross-Country Running
Some children in year 3 and 4 had a fantastic time at Abbey School representing school at a cross-country running event.
The children all came away with medals and a trophy for their fantastic efforts.
Crucial Crew
Year 6 children have visited Crucial Crew as part of PSHE to learn important life skills.
Crucial Crew is aimed to raise awareness of safety issues and enables children to have a hands on experience in different scenarios. They identify risks that have been set up in a scenario and learn how to make their homes safer and what to do if an emergency arises.
Y5/6 Robotics
Children in year 5 and 6 have been working with the AMRC to develop their STEM skills by working with robotics.
The children have had an amazing time learning to code the Marty robots and become robotics engineers.
Boom Readers
Thank you to everyone who has signed up to Boom Readers.
We are challenging children to read 3 times a week. Children who complete this challenge will go into a prize draw for a £5 voucher. This will start from the week commencing 25th September.
