Now (what has happened this week)
Welcome to our weekly newsletter!
We have had another wonderful week here at Balladen.
I would like to start this newsletter by thanking you, parents and carers, for sharing your children with us everyday. They are a joy to work with and every single member of staff enjoys their efforts, creativity and individual traits and gifts. Thank you all.
I would also like to thank the hugely committed, motivated and enthusiastic staff who come to school everyday and give their all for the benefit of the children who walk through our gates everyday.
On Monday we had another community assembly led by David and then some of our children had a road safety talk led by our local fire service.
On Tuesday Kids Rock came into Reception and the children had a wonderful time and were really engaged in the singing, playing musical instruments and learning. Thank you to Kids Rock for coming in to our school and sharing with us!
On Wednesday our school assembly was all about Good Friday. During the assembly we had a fire drill and we were very proud that the whole school managed to move out of the hall in under 50 seconds. Well done everyone!
On Thursday we had our egg decorating competition and our coffee afternoon. Thank you all so much for the support you have given the children in decorating their eggs. They were all wonderful and so individualistic!
The winners were:
Reception: 1st Max 2nd Poppy
Year 1: 1st Evie 2nd Cody
Year 2: 1st William 2nd Alfie
Year 3: 1st Izack 2nd Jadie-Leigh
Year 4: 1st Harry 2nd Thomas
Year 5: 1st Demi 2nd Amy
Year 6: 1st Ruby 2nd Danielle
Thank you for your continued support and have a wonderful long weekend. We will see you all ready for learning on Tuesday morning.
