BMJ Weekly Newsletter
Head Teacher: Mrs Marie Hill
Deputy Head: Mr Mark Bennett
Welcome to this week’s edition of the Brinsworth Manor
Junior School Newsletter
Our School Values
Politeness, Fairness, Friendship, Trustworthiness,
Happiness, Pride, Respect, Determination, Courage,
Honesty, Teamwork and Cooperation.
Our values are important because they help us to grow
and develop. They help us to create the future we
want to experience.
World Book Day
World Book Day is on Thursday 7th March 2019. Children
can come in fancy dress as their favourite book
character or writer! There are many wonderful fairytale
characters – it doesn’t have to be the newest books!
The options are endless. They can dress up and enter
the ‘most imaginative character and costume
competition’.
We will also be having the Great Brinsworth Bake Off!
Create a cake, buns, biscuits or bread that shows off
your favourite story. Bring anything that you have
baked to school on the 7th March for everyone to see.
There will be prizes! We will see if anyone can match
their costume to their bake! At 3.15 the cakes, buns,
biscuits will all be on sale in the hall – come in, join in the
fun and raise money for our charity. See the flyer!
Parent Consultation Week
Monday 25th – Thursday 28th March is Parent
consultation week. Appointments will be available
shortly to book via the online booking system. If you
have any difficulties booking an appointment the office
can do this for you.
Please note Dolphin Class is offering full day
appointments due to the teacher’s working week.
Keeping Safe Online
The Internet is an incredibly exciting part of our
everyday world. It offers us the opportunity to explore
the world from our own home. As with everything this
virtual world presents a whole set of new risks.
We need to ensure that our children know what the
dangers can be, and hopefully teach them how to
respond to these dangers responsibly and safely. Young
people and many adults live in an always-on, social,
digital and connected world, and it is the only world
they have ever known.
Whilst the Internet brings amazing opportunities for us to
pace!create and socialise, it is our duty as adults to
learn,
help them navigate this online world safely. Children
and young people must recognise that every click,
every post, every purchase and every photo we
upload leaves a digital footprint.
It is important to help set boundaries together and
provide a clear understanding of when it is safe to
explore the Internet freely.
