Today, all the years groups performed their first nativity in three years. Year 2 led the performance by acting out different nativity scenes and each year group sang a traditional carol and a modern Christmas song to go with each scene. It was wonderful not only for our children to perform in front of an audience, but also to see so many parents back in school again to watch.
Belmore had a delicious Christmas lunch with festive songs playing throughout lunchtime. Our kitchen staff dressed up in Santa outfits to add to the festive mood. Class teachers joined their class for lunch and everyone had fun pulling Christmas crackers.
Belmore children and staff swapped their uniforms and suits and dazzled the school in their festive knitwear for Christmas Jumper Day.
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. We would like to congratulate them all for their hard work and for making positive choices.
Wow! What great fun everyone had at the Christmas disco. We had a very special guest with us too. KS1 children got to meet Santa and have their photograph with him and the KS2 children were able to have a festive theme Photograph, either on their own or with their friends - there even props too. When everyone arrived, they were given a pre-packed party bag, which meant that instead of queuing for sweets and drinks. We could all get on with dancing to out favourite Christmas songs.
Year 2 Children were learning to read simple maps using symbols and keys. They also know that a map can show physical and human features.
Since September year 2 have been learning to play the ukulele. We have had a specialist teacher from the London Borough of Hillingdon Music Service help us to play this new instrument.
