Well done Blue Class for a great end of term. Your performance of The Nutcracker was fantastic and certainly gave the Birmingham Royal Ballet a run for their money! You led the way brilliantly as Year 4s with great singing, dancing, acting, narrating and even being stagehands.

We’ve certainly shared a lot of exciting learning this half term including our Book Celebration Day, delving into the fictional works of Charles Dickens and investigating states of matter in Science including a chocolate experiment! And what a lovely end to the term this week with a festive panto, a delicious Christmas dinner (thank you to Mrs Barker, Mrs Miles and Miss Shepherd) and fun party games! Being crowned Christmas Wake 'n' Shake Champions this afternoon was a perfect way to end the term. You've all been stars and have made it really enjoyable for the adults too.

We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and enjoy having fun and lots of rest with your family. Thank you so much for the very kind gifts and messages. It is very kind and generous of you.

Only five more sleeps to go so keep being patient and keep safe.

Love from Miss Townsend, Miss Kuriger, Mrs Spurgeon, Mrs Cooper and Mrs Taylor xxx

Hello Blue Class,

Well done for an excellent first half term in Year 4. You have worked very hard and are setting an example to the rest of the school. Learning about 'Ancient Egypt' including an adventure in London followed by 'Planet Earth' have been enjoyable topics and it ended in style with your fantastic family assembly. We were very proud of you during your performance with excellent singing, narrating, chime set playing and acting. Your grown ups were certainly blown away by how much you've learned in just one half term!

When we return to school, our new topic is 'Best Books' where we'll be sharing a classic Charles Dickens tale and developing your Science and Art skills further. We'd like you to bring your favourite book from home on the first day back to share with us and to help you create some art work for a new classroom display.

Have a lovely half term break with lots of rest and play. If you are able to find some time to work on your targets we sent home this week, that would be great. 

Keep safe and have fun!

Love from Miss Townsend and Miss Kuriger xxx

Hello New Year 5s!

We hope you have had a lovely summer and a well-earned rest after all of your hard work during our very busy summer term in Blue Class. It's nearly time for your new school adventure to start and we imagine you've had fun choosing your new stationery, trying on your new uniform and packing your new bag. Starting a new school is exciting but it is also normal if you are feeling nervous. As soon as you've been there for a day or two, made some new friends and know where everything is, you will feel happy and settled.

Please remember all of those values we have taught you at Blackwell...being respectful and kind, always trying your best, being responsible and making good choices...and have lots of fun along the way.

We would love to know how you are getting on so pop back in to see us after school to say hello if you can.

Lots of love,

from everyone at BFS xxx

Hello Blue Class,

We hope you are enjoying your summer break and have had a good rest and are feeling ready and raring to go for a new school year. We look forward to welcoming you back to school on Wednesday where we have lots of exciting learning ready for you starting with an 'Ancient Egypt' topic. The Egyptian hieroglyphs you created during your transition session are proudly displayed in your new classroom ready for you to see and we've got lots of special Year 4 activities and roles to tell you about too.

Enjoy the last few days of the holiday. After all of the rest and play you've had and to get your brain ready for learning, it would be a good idea to do some reading and check you still know those times table facts you learned last year over the next few days. You might even want to investigate a little bit about the Ancient Egyptians too.

See you very soon.

Love from Miss Townsend, Miss Kuriger, Mrs Taylor and Mrs Cooper x
