As part of our continued fundraising activities, pupils and staff will have the opportunity to dig out their favourite festive jumper to support Save the Children.
Due to the Key Stage 2 theatre trip, we will hold our Christmas Jumper Day slightly early on Thursday 12th December. All pupils are invited to wear a Christmas themed jumper in addition to their usual school uniform in return for a donation on £1.00.
A prize will be on offer for the most ‘Christmassy’ jumper, and we hope that this day will bring some festive cheer, as well as raising money to help children who are in need.
We look forward to seeing some of the entries; please ensure that school uniform is worn underneath the jumper.
The House System
Bloxwich Academy Primary
Children at Bloxwich Academy Primary have taken ownership of the new house system. Four new mascots have been chosen to represent each team. Voting took place across the school, with every child completing a ballot slip. After a tense wait, votes were counted and children found out the results:
| Brindley Bears | Stephenson Sharks | Telford Tigers | Watt Wolves |
Whilst this was all taking place, school council met and discussed how housepoints should be awarded. After a very thorough debate, children made the final decision that housepoints should be awarded for a variety of things, including fantastic work, awesome behaviour and for following the Bloxwich values.
Children across the school are now working hard to make their own valued contribution to the weekly team's score; collecting as many points as they can before the winning team is announced in assembly.
We are happy to launch the brand new Bloxwich Academy website. We hope this makes communication between school, parents and pupils easier and more effective. Our website is updated on a weekly basis so please use this to stay up to date with everything going on around school. Our school letters will be uploaded onto the website so you can stay informed along with regular news and event details.
Along with the new website launch, we have also joined some new social media platforms so we can really shout about the successes of everyday life at Bloxwich Academy, please take a few moments to follow us on the following platforms.
We would also like to introduce our new weekly news section of the website that will showcase what the children are doing in class, provide them with weekly challenges and keep you updated with upcoming event dates. This will replace the Bloxwich Bugle and the new section will become Bloxwich Beats – the beating heart of Bloxwich Primary.
We hope these updates will help with the continuing growth of Bloxwich Academy and always striving to ‘be the best we can be’.
Reminder – We will be closed to pupils on Friday 29th November 2019 for a staff training day.
Our Year 6 pupils held their Remembrance assembly last week in memory of all those who were lost and fought in the war. The children read out poems and shared what they had learnt about the different coloured Poppy’s and what they signify they then played ‘The Last Post’ to signal the start of our two-minute silence. We are very proud of all our pupils who showed great respect during the assembly.
We have collated a range of resources to keep you occupied this half term.
