News Whitehorse Manor – Brigstock Site

To culminate the end of our science topic, Evolution and Inheritance, Year 6 have spent a fantastic day at the Natural History Museum!  

Year 3 have been really enjoying learning about dinosaurs in reading, literacy and thematic. 

Wow, what a lovely week we have had at Brigstock. The children have been busily working on their BHM art work, in preparation for Mrs Stephenson-Tye’s display.

I can’t believe how quickly this half term has gone. The Reception children in Willow class have settled so well and are fully into the swing of their new routines.

Thank you to all the parents and carers who attended the meeting last night all about our residential camping trip to Cuffley!

On Friday morning, we opened the doors for our McMillan Coffee Morning.

Curriculum meetings from Nursery to Year 2 have now all taken place. 

As you are hopefully aware, the deadline for applying for a secondary school for your child to attend in September 2024 is fast approaching. 

The JTA’s (Junior Travel Ambassadors) are encouraging all staff, pupils and carers to dispense with their cars on Friday 29th September and explore other modes of transportation to and from school that day. 

EPS and Brigstock clashed in their opening football match this week, with both teams showing fantastic potential. 

Today, both staff and children came dressed to school in as much denim as possible in order to raise awareness and money for the charity ‘Jeans for Genes’.

It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that our lovely Teaching Assistant, Sharon Thomas, sadly died during the summer holidays. 

Parents and carers will have become aware of the current issue with some schools in the UK that have buildings made of RAAC – Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete. 

This term we had another successful trip to the beach with year 2. 

It was a real pleasure to watch Ms Hall’s send off from Brigstock today.
