World Mental Health Day - Hello Yellow
There was a sea of yellow in the school on Friday 13th October. Staff and children were invited to come to school dressed in yellow to raise awareness for World Mental Health Day.

Thank you from Nikki Morgan to all who helped put on the MacMillan Coffee morning together. Thank very much to everyone for your generous donations in support of such a good cause today. We raised £285.50. Absolutely amazing!
Friday 29th September was National Teaching Assistants Day.
In Year 4 children looked at how different drinks affect our teeth, and the importance of brushing by doing a fun science experiment.
This term, Year 6 are learning about Evolution and Inheritance in Science. We have been answering the question "Why do offspring look different from their parents?" by looking at how genetics are passed on through DNA in our cells. We discussed the difference between inherited and environmental features and how this may vary even within the same family.
Some of the children who access our Warhol and Einstein intervention classes have been learning about the Colour Monster.
At Belmore, we believe that the students should have the opportunity to voice their opinions about things that happen in school.
Thank you to all those that attended the coffee morning. There was a fantastic turn out and great to see so many parents/carers attend our first coffee morning of the new academic year.
Our first assembly of the year was a values assembly, which focused on the book 'All are welcome' by Alexandra Penfold.
One child per class from Nursery to Year 6 was nominated by teachers for the Pupil of the Year, Pupil of the Term and the Right Choice award. Certificates were presented to the children at the special VIP assemblies this week.
This was the final year that we administered the Year 2 national tests in Reading and Maths. I would like to take this opportunity to tell all the parents and carers of all the children in Year 2, what incredibly resilient children we have at Belmore. The teachers and support staff are so proud of them for achieving the results that we have had this year. We need to remember that these children also had their education disrupted by Covid.
Reception were able to bring our project ‘Big Wide World’ to life on our visit to Woburn Safari Park. We have been learning about animals from all over the world.
