BREASIDE BULLETIN

A few words from Mrs Nicholson

Dear Parents

I cannot quite believe that we have come to the end of the first half of the summer term already!

This week our Pre Prep children had a wonderful trip to Bromley library to share many books and listen to somestories. Our Year 6 children enjoyed an African Drumming workshop and the Infants had their Musical workshopswhich were enjoyed by all. Children had the opportunity to create different styles of music and movement.

We are looking forward to welcoming back our Year 5 children from Osmington Bay and from what I have seen onTwitter, they all appear to have had a fantastic time. I have had a great deal of positive comments from mums anddads telling me it felt as if they were there with the children. A big thank you to our Breaside team of teachers thisyear - Miss Golds, Mr Jackson, Mr Duke, Mrs Clarke and Miss Clarke for all their hard work. I have seen a fewpictures of them having a go at many, if not all of the activities on offer. This is such an opportunity for our children,and will often take them out of their comfort zones to try something very different and to become much moreindependent. I know that you will all see a change in them when they arrive back and a lot of dirty washing! Thecoach is due to arrive back at school at 7pm. Parents please continue to keep an eye on Twitter in case thistime changes.

I would like to share with you all an amazing achievement from one of our Breaside pupils, Chloe Trimming fromYear 6 was presented with a framed certificate in assembly this morning by Mr Baker who is an engineer at TheUniversity of Greenwich and has been running a club for us here at Breaside. Chloe is one of the winners in the'Design a Robot' for Robot Wars. Chloe's design will be in the Robot Wars competition in September. Very welldone Chloe, we are all very proud of you and cannot wait to see the finished product taking part!

It has been brought to my attention this week that some children are being left outside of school from 7:50amwithout an accompanying adult. Please can I remind parents we are here to keep your children safe. When theyare standing on the school site without an adult, this is a Safeguarding concern for us as a school. Our EarlyMorning Club is open from 7:30am and you are welcome to drop your children off here where they will be safe. Weare on a very busy road and for a young child to be standing alone is extremely dangerous. I would ask for your fullsupport to help us keep your children safe and if you do need to drop off early, then please use the Early MorningClub or speak to the office.

Next week, the school office will be open for shorter hours than normal (9.00am – 3.00pm) on Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but will be closed for the Bank Holiday Monday.

I would like to wish you all a happy and restful break during the half term holidayand let’s all hope that this beautiful weather continues for at least another week! Ivery much look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 4th June.

Mrs Nicholson
