• Water Aid Cake Sale

  Sat 26 Nov 2016
  On Friday Grace L and Grace C, Year 6 pupils, ran a cake sale to raise funds for Water Aid. They were inspired to do something positive for the charity following an assembly by Mrs Field. They organised the whole thing themselves. There was a fabulous donation of cakes and a very busy stall! We will let you know how much the girls raised. Well done girls!

• Anti-Bullying week

  Mon 21 Nov 2016

  Last week children learnt about 'The Power of Good' through our Anti-bullying week. The message was very clear- it is much more powerful to say kind words and to make someone feel good than not. Today everyone wore something royal blue to show their support for Anti-bullying week and to say 'No' to bullying- it doesn't belong at Burghclere.

  The children sang songs, recited poems, shared good powerful words and phrases through their kind hands and persuasive posters.

  During the week we also discussed the definition of bullying- the repeated and deliberate hurting of another person.

  We ended today by asking parents to sign up to our Anti-bullying charter along with staff and children. Work will be displayed in the school so please come along and have a look!

   

• Independence Week!

  Tue 08 Nov 2016
  We are encouraging all children to develop their independence (one of our school learning values) this week and to come into the school building by themselves in the morning. So far the majority of pupils have shown they are able to do this- well done! Thank you to all the parents who have supported their children in doing this. It has also made a huge difference to the room available in the cloakrooms for the children to put their own things away.

• Be Safe, Be Seen!

  Tue 08 Nov 2016
  Our Junior Road Safety Officers have organised a Be Safe, Be Seen day on Friday! They would like everyone to wear something bright on top of their usual school uniform. This is part of a nation wide road safety campaign to highlight the importance of making sure cars can see pedestrians when walking alongside a road in the dark.
