We will be finishing off a short, but busy half term with our Blanford Mere SHARED values day. This will take place on Friday 23rd May.
This day gives both children and staff the opportunity to focus on well-being and to celebrate another successful half term together.
In the afternoon, all children will take part in an activity. Activities on offer this half term include Lego club, bracelet making, dancing, football, netball, computing, a variety of games, arts, crafts, making music and even photography! Children will be able to tell us which activities they would like to take part in over the coming days. Please note: Some children may express a strong preference for one activity, and it is not always possible to ensure every child gets their ‘first choice’ and this can lead to disappointment (which is obviously completely contrary to the whole ethos of the day!). To avoid this, children will be required to select several activities they would be happy to take part in and we can then ensure that every child is offered the opportunity to experience one of the those selected.
During the day, children will also be taking part in well-being activities relating to the ‘Be Active’ way to well-being. We therefore ask that children wear their own clothes all day but that these (including footwear) are suitable for taking part in physical activities.
To finish off the day and the half term, all children will attend a whole school assembly where we will celebrate and reflect together. The assembly will also include celebrating our VIPs (Value Inspiring Pupils). One child per class will be nominated each half term to receive the VIP award. This will be a child who has consistently demonstrated our school values, with the focus this half term on ‘RESPECT’. Parents/carers of the VIPs will be invited to attend the assembly.
We hope the children are looking forward to commemorating this half term with another exciting and enjoyable day.
