What a week it has been at Bentley!

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!

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!

This week seems to have flown past!

It has been another busy week in school. We had wonderful music performances from EYFS and Key Stage 1, well done! Thank you and very well done also to Year 4 who lead a brilliant class assembly all about the water cycle. I have been told they spoke clearly and confidently and shared their knowledge brilliantly. And of course, their singing was amazing! I was so sorry to have missed it. 

As we finally reach the end of January, it’s fair to say it has felt like a particularly long month! With February just around the corner, we are all looking forward to those extra minutes of daylight slowly creeping back in – and wouldn’t it be wonderful if they came with a little less rain too?
