Headteacher: Anna Moss

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 

Hello everyone,

What a great last day we've had in school today! I'm sure you'd agree that the children sang, danced and retold their Malvern adventures brilliantly this morning, with confidence and smiles. It was lovely for the children to share their books with you, see photographs of Malvern and it was so nice to be able to chat to you all.

The children have been an absolute delight to teach with their hardworking, enthusiastic, kind and friendly nature and we will miss them very much. They truly are a class we will remember fondly for a very long time. Please do pop in and see us and let us know how everyone is getting on.

Thank you so much for your generous gifts and kind words. We hope you have a good summer break and we'll look forward to seeing some of you at our holiday club.

Many thanks once again,

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

Good evening everyone,

Well done Blue Class for a wonderful time on our residential. From trekking up the Worcestershire Beacon, to zooming down the zip slide and venturing into the 'Tunnel of Doom', we had an amazing time that we're sure we'll all remember for a very long time.

All of the BFS adults were so proud of not only your determination, independence and effort but also of how kind and caring you were towards each other, particularly when those heights and dark spaces were a challenge. All of our leaders said they wish BFS could come every week because of your great manners, super listening skills, team work and smiles.

We were of course very sad that some of the children had to return a little earlier than scheduled but we look forward to seeing you on Monday as we have a small gift waiting for you!

We imagine some of the children will be asleep very soon (as will the teachers!) but we hope that when they are recharged and full of beans again, they will enjoy sharing their holiday tales with you.

Thank you for making this trip possible and we're sure the children will be delighted that we can share the happy news that all of them can now make their own bed and their own lunch!

Have a restful weekend and please note, the children can have a week off from homework to aid their recovery!!

Many thanks,

from The Malvern Team xxx
