Dear parents & carers

On Thursday 14th March, Banwell will be celebrating all things science as part of Science Week. For this special day, the children will be mixing in their house groups to investigate the flora and fauna around the school. 

 

As we plan to go outside during our science activities,  your child will need to bring to school a waterproof coat and footwear that they could wear on the field, such as wellies or walking books.

 

Thank you for your support and I hope that the children have a fantastic day learning about the nature around us.

Dear parents and carers,

 

At the beginning of Term 3, children across the school will be learning about Space, focusing on age-appropriate learning objectives.

 

On Tuesday 16th January, we will have a large Space Dome in the Sports Hall building to support our learning.  We would then like to invite children, parents and carers back into school between 5-6pm for a star gazing evening on the playground.  There are a number of apps that enable viewers to see the stars, planets and constellations in the sky and you may wish to have one available on the night, but do not need to do so.  Whilst we do not usually have mobile phones on site, this event, after school, would be an opportunity for children to combine the information on the apps with the knowledge that they have gained to see what is around them in the night sky.

 

As the Sports Hall will be out of action on this day and the children will be eating their lunches in their classrooms we have arranged with Aspens (our caterers) to provide the hot meals in a box.  It’s pizza/Veggie fingers and wedges on this day so if your child would like a hot meal please can you book one on Paretpay by Wednesday 10th January.  We will need to order the take away boxes in so we cannot accept any bookings after this date. 

 

There is no cost for the activity.  Children will need to be accompanied by an adult to the event.

 

Best wishes

Anti-Bullying Week

 

We will be having an Odd Socks Day to launch our Anti-Bullying week. Odd Socks Day is a chance for schools to celebrate Anti-Bullying Week in a positive way by asking pupils and staff to wear odd socks to school. There is no pressure to wear the latest fashion or buy expensive costumes. All you need to do to take part is wear odd socks, it could not be simpler! Odd Socks day will take place on the first day of Anti Bullying Week, Monday 13th November to help raise awareness.

 

Thank you
