TALK OVER TOAST
What is the difference between joy and happiness?
BVPS Tel : 01444 456715
I cried all afternoon! – Parent after watching the Reception Nativity.
A great many families took up the challenge on Thursday after school of unlocking the QR treasure chest!
The competitive edge of many parents shone through, which
coupled with the maths strategies exhibited by their children led to
success all round. A devious mind had placed clues under, over and even in between things, however
he was outwitted as clue after clue was found and much fun ensued! Well done to all those who took part, more to come in the New
Year!
Well done to all the Reception children and the Reception Staff for their magnificent Nativity Performance. We were all so impressed with how well the children had learnt their words and knew the songs. Thank you to everyone who helped with supplying costumes and getting ready.
On Tuesday 2nd
December, Meredith
and I (Aoife) went to the first ever
SALT Locality Book Battle, here at
Bolnore run by Miss Waters. Six other
children from different schools came
to ours to debate over our books. For
the first half, we had the intensifying
heats and both of us did exceedingly
well against all the other students and
after debating long and hard…
Meredith got through to the Semi-
Finals! She went versus a boy who
was doing David Walliams’ book Awful
Auntie. However, with her epic
debating skills, Meredith brought My
sister Jody to victory! In the last
round, the Final, she went head to
head with Anne of Green Gables… The
opposition was very good but
Meredith won against her! So, overall,
the afternoon was fun and thoroughly
enjoyable. I did well and Meredith
brought our school to victory!

Katie has already made such a big difference to the safety of our children outside the school. Traffic is slower and there is a defined

Mrs Ottaway and her team of Eco-Warriors have been working hard. Having successfully submitted their evidence, we have been awarded a Silver Eco-Schools Award. Well done!
We’re making great strides with our PE! Our four House Captains went along to collect our Bronze Mark Certificate at a presentation by Sainsbury’s School Games. This demonstrates our commitment to and development of PE, sports clubs and competitions. The children were thrilled to meet Olympic Water Polo Captain, Craig Figes.

dissatisfaction with our treasure box little treats given out to reward good
