LAST WEEK IN BELMONT
Performance Week
During Performance Week at Belmont our pupils have been able to demonstrate their skill and talents at performing in a variety of ways. They have performed to each other, to their classes and year groups and also during assemblies. Performances have encompassed areas such as drama, poetry recital, music, dance and gymnastics which reflects the wealth of talent we have here at Belmont. Our focus on National Poetry Day on Thursday gave us the opportunity to get creative, composing and reciting both our own and our favourite poems. Well done everyone!
September’s class attendance award!
Well done to Apricots class, who were the September winners with 98.70% attendance Hot on their heels were Cherries and Rowan with 98.30%.
Kindness Week
We are delighted to be supporting Childline by taking part in the Kindness Challenge next week, 7-11th October. We'll be spending the week creating more kindness in the school community by working through a list of kindness acts. These are being created in class at the end of this week, or may come home to be completed over the weekend. World Mental Health Day The week also includes World Mental Health Day on Thursday 10th October. To recognise this event we would like to encourage the children to wear yellow (own clothes day) to support the YoungMinds charity (https://www.youngminds.org.uk/support-us/fundraising/helloyellow/). Some of the money raised during the Kindness Challenge week will go towards supporting Young Minds. We are lucky to have yellow in our school uniform so you could simply wear a yellow school t-shirt. Or a pair of yellow socks, headband etc! Please do not feel compelled to buy something yellow especially for one day. The focus in school is more around supporting mental health and well being, and how children can recognise when they need support and where to go.
Year 5 visit the Imperial War Museum
On Tuesday, Year 5 enjoyed a successful trip to the Imperial War Museum. They visited the Second World War galleries and explored artefacts from WWII. They even saw a real 'little ship' that was used during the evacuation of Dunkirk. It was a brilliant opportunity for the children to develop their learning on the war, and a great day was had by all.
