This term has been an incredibly busy and exciting one at Bedonwell, packed with lots of fun learning experiences and special events for our children. We were thrilled to welcome visitors from Charlton Athletic, who led a fantastic assembly all about respect, teamwork and making positive choices. The children were also full of excitement for Number Day, arriving in school in brilliant number-themed outfits and taking part in fun maths challenges and activities across the school. It has been wonderful to see so much creativity, enthusiasm and curiosity in every classroom.

We are so proud of how hard all of our children have been working this term and how much they are enjoying their learning. As we head into half term, we would like to say a big thank you to all our parents and carers for your continued support. 

We wish everyone in the Bedonwell family a happy, restful and well-deserved break, and we look forward to welcoming you all back on Tuesday 24th February, ready for another exciting half term ahead!

The nursery children have been enjoying exploring the traditional tales Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Three Little Pigs. They have been very creative, making their own artwork of the pigs and the wolf, and using different materials to bring the stories to life. To celebrate Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the children also hosted a special porridge party, where they talked about the characters and the events in the story while tasting different types of porridge. It has been a wonderful way to develop their storytelling, creativity, and communication skills. 

Love Your School! We would love to hear your positive feedback about our school. We are proud of what we do well and whilst we spend a lot of time collecting views on what we can improve it is always good to understand what we do well and what our community values most. If you would like to part of this positivity we would appreciate your time to help: https://forms.gle/BeY52o9d57j6Wv6H9

We are happy to welcome children who wish to ride their scooters and bikes to school. However, for everyone’s safety, children and adults must dismount their scooters or bikes before entering the gates. Please do not ride any scooter or bike around the KS2 playground or in our busy infant and junior milling areas before and after school. These areas can become crowded, and riding could lead to accidents or injuries. We appreciate your support in helping us keep our playgrounds safe for all our children and adults. 

It is really important for all children to drink water throughout the day, which is why children need to bring a water bottle into school. However, can we please ask that children only bring in either a disposable plastic or re-usable plastic water bottle. 

Some children are bringing in large metal water bottles which when knocked over can cause disruption in the class. 

Please can we also ask that Airup water bottles are not brought into school, these are expensive and can sometimes be knocked over in a busy classroom and damaged or broken.
