The week in Review

The holidays are almost here. At the end of what has been a long term, we are very proud of everything the children have achieved this term. They were wonderful ambassadors for the school on their trip to Hazm Fort and their assembly was fantastic! We wish you all a happy and restful holiday and look forward to welcoming the children back in January (with their Chromebooks!)

In English

This week, we have written a biography of one of the explorers, explaining their early life, their voyages and the influence they have had on the world.

In Maths

We have continued our learning on angles and have learned the properties of the different types of triangles.

Any other Notices

Chromebook

Please ensure that your child has a Chromebook ready for use when we start back in Term 2. If you have any queries regarding the specifications required for this device, please contact Chris Bate by sending a message to the Primary Office.

Uniform

Please can you remind your child to bring school shoes to change into after their PE lesson and a gentle reminder that the school uniform policy is black socks for boys and white socks for girls.

On Mondays and Wednesdays the children in Year 4 have PE lessons and can wear their PE to school. They must bring their uniform to change into after their PE lesson, this includes bringing their school shoes to change into after the PE lesson.

On Sunday, they have swimming and should wear their uniform to school, not their PE kit.

Please label all of your uniform, PE kit, swimming kit and water bottle

Absences

If your child is unwell, leaving early or coming late please complete the Absence Form and the class teacher will be informed.

Swimming Kit

Please can we request that all children come to school on the day of their swimming lessons with the following equipment:

Swim Uniform in accordance with guidelines.
Swim hats for those with long hair. ALL hats must be secure on the head with no risk of slipping down over the face.
Goggles
Towel
Pool shoes (crocs or equivalent)
A waterproof bag to carry everything in.

Please see our Swimwear Guidelines on the website.

Please do not wear 'swim uniform' into school for hygiene reasons. Please do not wear an alternative gym or running kit for swimming lessons. It's important to use only 'Swim Uniform' and the recommendations listed above in the pool, as other fabrics become incredibly heavy when wet.

WhatsApp Groups

We have created WhatsApp groups for parents to know about urgent messages or reminders. Email will continue to be the main form of communication. Please see our BSM WhatsApp Groups Document for all the links. Please read the code of conduct carefully before joining any BSM WhatsApp groups.
