The Year 6 children have had a busy but, most importantly, exciting week as they spent four days in the Senior School discovering a little more about what Year 7 has in store for them. They have experienced a range of lessons, made acrylic keyrings in DT, become forensic experts in Science, and only got lost around the Senior School a handful of times!
The week has provided a wonderful opportunity for the children to meet new teachers, explore new learning environments and begin building their confidence ahead of September. It has been lovely to hear their stories each day and see their excitement growing as they prepare for the next stage of their school journey.
We are looking forward to welcoming them back tomorrow for our final week together in Year 6. However, after spending a week in the Senior School, they will most definitely be returning far too cool for Year 6! We can't wait to hear more about their adventures and make the most of our last few days together.
As we wrap up the term, the children will begin to bring their books and schoolwork home. Please send them to school with a spare, sturdy bag on Sunday!
For the families sadly leaving BSM this year, we send you our warmest wishes. We wish you every success as you settle into your new schools and countries - you will be missed!
Wishing you ALL a wonderful summer!

Although the Library is now closed, children should continue to read daily using favourite books from home, Read Theory and Epic books.
What to wear:
Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on PE days and swimming days, and regular school uniform on non PE days - their timetable has been stuck in their Personal Organiser and can also be found on the Google classroom.
On Mondays we have swimming, please ensure your child comes to school wearing their PE kit//uniform and brings their swim kit in a separate waterproof bag. Please make sure all swimming items are clearly labelled with your child's name.
Water Bottles and hats: Please label everything. Some children have the same water bottles and hats as others and they often get lost.
We have noticed an increase in students wearing their own trainers to school so please remember that on school days, black footwear (shoes or trainers) should be worn. Long hair should also be tied up. Stud earrings can be worn, but bracelets, necklaces and other earrings must not be worn to school.
If a child is wearing a religious necklace please inform us via the Primary Office for approval. If approved, ensure it is tucked into shirts for health and safety reasons.
Email: We welcome communication from parents. If you would like to contact your child’s class teacher about any matter, then you can do so by writing a note in the PO, or for more complex queries please send an email to the school office, and this will be passed onto the correct member of staff. Please note, all emails should be sent via the primary office and not directly to teachers; this ensures that your query can be dealt with as quickly as possible.
Please click here for the Y6 Curriculum Newsletter for Term 3.
If your child is unwell, leaving early or coming late please complete the Absence Form and the class teacher will be informed.
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.
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.
