We will be finishing off our Summer term and our academic year with our Blanford Mere SHARED values day. This will take place on Friday 18th July.

To start off the day, 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). Each class teacher has chosen a child who has consistently demonstrated our school values, with the focus this half term on ‘ENJOYMENT’. Parents/carers of the VIPs have been invited to attend the assembly.

In addition, these SHARED values days have also given both staff and children opportunities to try a variety of activities with a range of different children and staff and have been a hugely enjoyable way to celebrate the children’s hard work.

As with the other days, children will be able to choose a number of options from a list of activities they might like to take part it. Once again we have a wide range of sports, music, games, art, computing and other activities on offer.

Could all children except Year 6, wear their own clothes all day but please ensure that these (including footwear) are suitable for taking part in physical activities should their allocated activity require it. Because it is leaving day for Year 6 – we would like them to wear uniforms so that they can take part in the ‘shirt signing’ at the end of the day. Notes will be in planner next week to indicate whether children need to wear (or bring in the case of Year 6) sports wear.

Thank you for your support with these celebrations throughout the year. We hope the children once again have a fantastic opportunity to make memories and finish off the year on a high!
