As we near the end of our first full term, we are working hard to organise our usual celebration with our Blanford Mere SHARED values day on Friday 19th December 2025.
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 ‘HONESTY’. Parents/carers of the VIPs have been invited to attend the assembly.
In addition, these SHARED values days also give everyone opportunities to try a variety of activities with a range of different children and staff and have been a hugely enjoyable way to connect with others and maybe even try something new!
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, many of them Christmas themed!
The rest of the day will be spent focussing on well-being activities relating to ‘Connect’ and ‘Give’.
Could all children wear their own clothes all day but please ensure that these (including footwear) are suitable for taking part in the activities they have been allocated.
Thank you, as ever, for your support with these celebrations. We hope the children once again have a fantastic opportunity to make memories and celebrate with their friends before going off to enjoy the Christmas holidays and get ready for 2026!
