What a fantastic Sports Day we had today! After keeping a close eye on the weather forecast all week, I am so pleased that we were able to go ahead with the event. It turned out to be a wonderful morning that truly reflected everything that makes our Bentley community so special.
What a wonderful week it has been at Bentley!
As we reach the end of what has certainly been one of the hottest weeks I can remember, I simply wanted to say how incredibly proud I am of every single member of our Bentley community.
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!
