Welcome to the Bonneville Family! Welcome to the Bonneville Family!

Last week, the children met our newest Bonneville family member, 'Baby', the Bonneville Tortoise. Funded by FAB, Baby is a 3-year-old Spur-thighed Tortoise who we are excited to welcome into our community.


During assembly time, when discussing our new value, 'Responsibility, ' we devised our own rules to ensure that Baby can thrive happily and healthily amongst us. As a result, despite the children's evident excitement, I was most impressed by how responsible the children were when observing Baby during his first classroom tour of the school.


Keep safe, and I will see you at the gate at 8.55 am.

Anti-Bullying Week 11th-15th November Anti-Bullying Week 11th-15th November

Bonneville is an Anti-Bullying school

This week, in particular, children will be thinking about their role in Bonneville being an 'Anti-Bullying School', from extending kindness to calling out persistent harmful, overpowering, and directed behaviour towards others.

Homework

Please help your child with spelling by looking at each word's spelling rules, sounds and patterns. Practising spelling daily (or as much as possible) will help your children to learn and remember each word. In KS1, children must choose five spelling words to put into sentences.


In KS2, children must write a sentence for each word using neat, joined handwriting.

This will allow the children to understand the meaning of each word, put the word into context, and practice their handwriting.


All spelling books must be given to the Class Teacher every Wednesday. This will ensure that your teacher has enough time to get the new spellings stuck in. Children will be doing a weekly spelling test in the back of their homework books so you can see how well they are doing.

Girls Football Tournament

Well done!

Congratulations to the girls' football team, which came fourth in a tournament at Kennington Park last week. We all feel incredibly proud of how you represented yourselves and our school. Keep pushing, keep improving, and keep loving football!

Mixed Football Team

Last week, the Mixed Football Team league kicked off at Ferndale, and this season, we have entered two teams. Again, the children made a spectacular start to the season. We look forward to supporting your progress.

Lost Property Lost Property

For a smoother school experience, please remember to label all your child's belongings. This includes clothing, coats, bikes, and scooters. A clear label with the pupil's name and class greatly increases the chances of lost items being returned. This simple act also supports our year 6 'Lost Property Monitors' in their efforts to reunite found items with their owners.

FAB Update FAB Update

FAB has been incredibly busy confirming the dates for our calendar of events this year, including some new ventures that will keep our community connected whilst raising money for the school.

Please have a good look at what we have coming up, and sign up with how you can support!

1 hour per term!

We always need more help and support. A donation of one hour per term (that’s only three hours per year) of your time is all we ask, whether it be as a class rep, planning/hosting an event, or standing on a stall. Some parents very generously agreed to host an event like our amazing wreath-making workshop or the gathering of donations for our incredible raffles. Every parent is a member of FAB. I ask that everyone get involved.

Let's raise money together!

Parentkind – the charity that supports school PTAs - have teamed up with Asda, who is making millions of pounds available to donate to primary schools across the UK through their ‘Cashpot for Schools’ initiative – all you have to do is:

1. Download the Asda Rewards app

2. Choose Bonneville as your primary school under Cash pots.

FAB will receive £1 for every new sign-up before 30 November. No purchase required.

Additional funds also raised if you scan in store or shop online at Asda.com, between 2nd September and 30th November 2024. Asda will donate 0.5% of the value of your shop to our Primary school.

Optional - The supermarket has joined forces with Joe Wicks to support the initiative – look out for the TV advert, radio ads and social media coverage

Optional - Asda does the rest, all money raised will be donated to schools to spend on the things they need the most.

Miss Innes will be running the London Marathon in April 25 and will be raising money to support Guide Dogs.

To raise money for this charity, we would like to organise a fundraising day on Friday 22nd November.

Children in EYFS and KS1 will take part in dog-themed obstacle races while children in KS2 will run around the school.

Children are also asked to come to school in dog related costumes or in the charity colour of yellow or blue.

Miss Innes and Miss Auton would be grateful for any donations for the charity! Did you know that a Guide Dog costs £57,000 to train?

To donate please click on the PDF below. Then follow the hyperlink by clicking ‘Click here’ at the bottom of the page.

Thank you in advance for your support, we look forward to a pawesome day!

Yours sincerely,

Miss Innes, Miss Auton and Paddy
