Dear Parents & Carers
What a wonderful week back we have had at Birdham! The children have returned full of energy and enthusiasm, and it has been lovely to see everyone settling back into school life with such big smiles.
We have enjoyed a fantastic week of learning and special moments, including welcoming our youngest learners' families into Ladybird Class for our Stay and Play session.
Across the school, the children have been learning about the significance of Remembrance Day, taking time to reflect and remember those who have served and sacrificed for others.
We also enjoyed a lovely community moment as parents joined together for an Autumn Amble down to Birdham Pool – a perfect opportunity to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and catch up along the way.
We are also very pleased to have Mr McCadden back and the children were very excited to see him and tell him what they have been up to.
It has certainly been a busy and happy start to the new half term, and we are looking forward to all the exciting things still to come!
Kind regards Mrs Ellis
Harvest Thank You
Thanks to your wonderful donations at our Harvest Collective Worship, we have donated 64.5kg of food to Chichester District Foodbank. This equates to 161 meals provided to families across our area.
Thank you so much everyone for your contributions. It really does make a huge difference.
Remembrance Day and Poppies
It is Remembrance Day next Wednesday and we have been teaching our children about the importance of remembering the fallen in both world wars and conflicts that have taken place since.
The Head Boy and Head Girl will be visiting each class again next week with a variety of poppy related ‘merch’ raising money for the Royal British Legion.
If your child would like to buy something for themselves then please ensure they have a little money to do so. Everything is either 50p or £1.00.
Book Fair
Thank you to everyone who bought a book from our fair during parents evening week. We raised a total of £180 to replenish and replace books in our library. Thank you so much
Missing Library Books
There are a large number of library books missing from school since the beginning of the term, with children having three or four missing books.
Unfortunately, Mrs Holcombe is having to spend a large amount of her day searching for lost books that are not here. Please check at home for missing books and return them to us as soon as you can. We have a list so we can let you know what we are looking for. Thank you so much.
School Photographs
Tuesday 10th November is school individual photo day. Please ensure you have your best smile with you and your jumper or cardigan.
Children will all be given an individual order card so that you can order copies of the photos.
Dates
Just a reminder that all our dates ‘should’ be in the Class DoJo calendar. We are human and miss things periodically!
As a reasonable check, the outlook calendar at the bottom of the website calendar page is always available.
