Dear Parents,
Yet another testing week with the snow,
ice and wind! I do hope that we have
seen the last of this disruptive weather so that we can resume a modicum of
routine to our school week. However, on our ‘snow day’, I did have the pleasure
of reading to all the children in the library, where it was comfy and cosy and
we could forget about the freezing conditions outside.
Congratulations to Ishita for being the
first BISB student whose work has appeared in the 100 Word Challenge. As this is proving to be such a popular (and
beneficial) activity with the children, I have set up a blog just for this;
there is a link from our class blog:

Our next ‘Big Writing Day’ will be on
Friday 22nd March. I shall be posting a
‘picture prompt’ and further details on the class blog this weekend; students
will then have time to gather their thoughts and ideas ready for next week.
The Year 6 pupils had a business meeting
with Tomasz, the school caretaker, to discuss the paint colour options for the
BISB Fitness and Dance Studio. It was decided to retain the red floor and to
use contrasting shades of beige for the walls, as a background colour, to
coordinate with individual classes’ wall-art.
In literacy this week, we have battled
with learning how to write paragraphs with cohesion and flow; making sure that
the end of each paragraph clearly links to the star of the next as ideas are
built up and extended.
I have been assessing the children’s
maths, so that we can address any problem areas in preparation for the
examinations which are fast approaching; pupils will be given an opportunity to
revise any topics that they find difficult during the spring holiday.
Would you please be so kind as to return
the ‘Tintin’ outing authorisation slips as soon as possible?
I look forward to meeting with you next
week.
With Best Wishes,
Mrs T,
