This week at Bentley...
As we head into an exciting weekend, I wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate some of the wonderful things that have been happening across the school this week.

It was wonderful to welcome our new Year R children and their parents into school this week. Our current Year 6 children did an exceptional job showing families around the school, and we received some fantastic feedback about the tours. We are incredibly proud of how confident, articulate, and responsible our children are, and it was a pleasure to hear how they acted as such excellent ambassadors for our school.
As we begin a new half term, I hope you all had a wonderful break with your families. I am sure, like me, you could hardly believe the weather we enjoyed! We spent our half term in Devon and had a fantastic time making the most of the sunshine on the beach with family and friends.
This week has been another busy and exciting one at school. The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in National Numeracy Day, celebrating all things maths! Taking advantage of the lovely weather, many classes took their learning outside, enjoying practical and engaging mathematical activities in the sunshine. Thank you to Mrs Blake for organising the day.
This week, we have been incredibly proud of our Year 6 children during their SATs tests. The children have come into school each day with such a positive attitude, showing resilience, determination and maturity throughout the week. Most importantly, every single child has tried their very best and should feel extremely proud of themselves.
It has certainly been a week of children challenging themselves across the school!
What a week it has been at Bentley!
What a glorious week of sunshine it has been! It has been lovely to see the children enjoying eating outside at lunchtimes – a sure sign that summer is on its way.
Welcome back! I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and managed to enjoy some quality time with family and friends. I was fortunate enough to spend a long weekend in Paris with my daughter. We had a fantastic time sightseeing, followed by plenty of time relaxing and “charging our batteries,” as my dad would say!
As we come to the end of a very busy Spring term, it’s hard to believe how quickly it has flown by!
It has been wonderful hearing all about Year 5’s residential visit to Calshot. What an incredible experience for them! I have to admit, I’ve been a little jealous—especially of the amazing-sounding breakfasts, which seemed to be a real highlight and something all the children were talking about!
It has been a little quieter around school this week as out Year 5 class have been away on residential at Calshot Activity Centre. It has been wonderful hearing how the children have been challenging themselves through the updates shared by staff and through the blog on the school website. The team at Calshot have also been sharing how amazing the Year 5 children have been throughout their stay.
