It has been a wonderful final week of the half-term here at Poverest School. I would like to begin by extending a huge thank you to all of our teachers and staff for their hard work and dedication throughout this first half-term—it has truly been a fantastic start to the school year and I'm incredibly grateful to them all.
On Monday, we held our Harvest assembly in support of the Bromley Foodbank. I was so impressed by the excellent behaviour and thoughtful awareness shown by the children throughout. A huge thank you to everyone for the generous donations to our Harvest collection, which have now been delivered to the Bromley Foodbank to help support families in our local community.
We were also delighted to send a group of our Year 5 children to the first of six Maths Masterclasses at Bromley High this week. They represented the school brilliantly and had a fantastic time engaging with some challenging new ideas. We are extremely grateful to St Barnabas Church for kindly loaning us their minibus once again to make this trip possible.
Thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our Parents' Evening meetings with class teachers this week. Working in partnership with you is so important to us, and I hope you found these sessions valuable in understanding how your child is settling in and how you can best support their learning at home.
As a reminder, school will be closed for the next two weeks for the half-term break. We look forward to welcoming all children back to school on Monday 2nd November at the usual times. We do have sporting and dance clubs using the school grounds for those requiring childcare. Places are available and can be booked via links sent on Dojo.
I wish all our children and families a restful and lovely two-week half-term, and safe travels to any families heading away on holiday. We look forward to seeing you all again for another great half-term ahead!
