Global Goal 4 – Quality Education - Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you are well. This half-term has flown by, and the children have been exceptional in terms of their behaviour and positive attitude to their learning. The staff of the school have worked incredibly hard to help this happen and I know that the support you have given to your children and the school makes a huge difference. Due to the hard work and effort, everyone is tired and looking forward to a well-earned rest.
We loved talking about and sharing examples of the progress that your child has made over this half-term. This morning we shared achievement awards with pupils who are making exceptional progress academically and for children who are model 'Belmontonians!'
We are proud of some of the amazing pupils who wrote a poem in Year 2 who are now published authors! Well done to Norjin, Ali, Archie and Franco for this amazing poem:
'The Feast
Come and join our feast!
Come and join our feast!
Lion swallows wild pigs
Giraffe chews shrubs
Come and join our feast!
Cheetah nibble deer
Hippo munches grass
Rhino eats leaves
Leopards devours fox
Come and join our feast!
Elephant chomps fruits
Zebra gobbles twigs
Come and join our feast!'
