Welcome back to another Friday Post; the weekly update on what’s happening in school as well as what’s coming up.
On Monday, Mrs Spencer launched our annual harvest collection. We do this every year and donate the collected goods to local foodbanks. These vital community services offer support to families in need in our neighbourhood and so it makes sense for us to handover our collection to them.
If you would like to make a small contribution of non-perishable food items, canned good or toiletries please send it in to school with your child over the next two weeks.
Parents’ Evening:
The first of our parents’ evenings is on Tuesday 8th October. It will give you an opportunity to discuss how your child has settled into their new class.
Sunflowers have a slightly longer allocation of time, as it is the first meeting since our youngest pupils have started school. Mrs Gabbitas holds her meetings with parents over two evenings.
Links to the electronic booking form can be found on your child’s class dojo page.
Autumn Term Vaccination Programme:
We have received notification of the autumn flu vaccination programme for primary aged pupils that can be delivered in school with parent’s consent. Log on and decline or consent using the following link: https://www.bchcschoolagevaccs.nhs.uk. Please quote letter reference number: 103320-608. Access Code: 6566
Celebration Assembly:
To fit with the launch of our harvest collection, generosity was the theme of Star of the Week. A great many of our children are generous in terms of their support of others and giving back to school by carrying out a leadership role of some kind. We celebrate the generosity of: Freya, Ade, Ivan, Henry, Enzo, Hezekiah, Adriana, Jacob, Jason Junior and Charlie.
We had a lot of Sports Personality nominations this week. Congratulations to: Alistair, Horatio, Blake, Bella D, Tarteel, Zion, Renayah, Bella L, Harley, Theo, Daniya, Quinley and Rogan.
Congratulations also go to Taha and Alaia, who received Super Skipper certificates this week.
Well done to our Y5&6 boys’ football team who had their first outing this week. They did well despite the terrible downpour. Our thanks to: Horatio, Henry, Koen, Zion, David, Tom, Huey, Ahmed and Noah-James. Thanks also to Ms Davis and Mr Taylor who accompanied the children and also got drenched!
Year 5 composed and led prayers of gratitude in assembly today. Our thanks to Alayna, Layla and Sofia.
House points are starting to mount up and we had the first few bronze certificates today. Well done to Deen, Jacob, Ivy and Luca.
Tops for attendance: were 5M (98.37%) and 2M (95.8%). Well done to them and their families for avoiding the most days off school this week.
If you want to report an absence, please do that directly to Mrs Harper, who is our attendance lead.
Sparks Sports Camp:
Some families may be interested in registering their children for the sports camp being hosted on our campus during October half term. There was a post including the details earlier in the week. Use this link to make a booking: https://bookings.kssp.co.uk/list
Special mention to: Nevaeh, who was awarded Star of the Week last week, so received her certificate today. To Georgia also, who shared her acrobatics certificate in assembly on Monday. She clearly was thrilled to have her moment in the spotlight.
That’s all for another week. I hope the weather improves over the weekend. Please remember, if you arrive late (after 08:50) please bring your child in through the reception office, sign them in and hand them safely over to a member of staff.
Reach us on the gate, contact the team via Class Dojo message, give the pastoral team a ring, or email to enquiry@glenmead.bham.sch.uk. We are always here to support our families.
