Dear Parents and Carers,
Thank you.
That is probably all that needs to be said in our newsletter this week.
Thank you.
The total for our sponsor money, that you have so kindly helped to raise. now stands at £2,433!
This is truly an incredible amount and will really have an impact on learning and developing a love of reading throughout the school.
I would like to say a huge 'Thank you' from all of the children and staff at our school to you.
Our Year Six children are currently researching and writing lists of books to purchase for children throughout the school and they have also planned a trip to a book suppliers this coming Monday. We are planning, if possible, to have a display up in the hall of some of the books that have been purchased on our Parent / Teacher afternoon / evening on Tuesday. We will also be asking the press to come and write a report as we are so very proud of our community!
Other news...
We have had another superb week of learning and fun here at Balladen. I have had the privilege of working with our Year 5 children while the Year 6's have been undertaking some assessments. They worked extremely hard this week and have been very creative in designing and writing books for our Reception and Year One children.
Throughout our school all children have been learning and smiling, even if we have had a number of 'wet plays'!
We finished off our week with Red Nose Day at Balladen. Again, thank you for all of our support!
Have a wonderful weekend. I look forward to seeing all of those Monday smiles!
With respect,
Mr Neil Ringrose
