Congratulations to Year 6 for winning the attendance prize for the Autumn term. They will be treated to a meal of their choice.

 

Well done!

The children enjoyed a visit from Gordon Greer and Scott Wharton on Thursday 24th November. As a school we are trying to improve reading so the children researched the footballers and prepared questions to ask them in our assembly. They enjoyed learning about how they became footballers, what their favourite subjects at school were and their favourite authors.

 

Take a look at some of our pictures below or visit the Blackburn Rovers website to find our school's video on www.rovers.co.uk

 

 

Well done to the whole school. Attendance for the Autumn term so far is 96.2% and this includes absence for Eid.

 

Keep it up!

Our school target this year is 96.5% and I think we can beat it.

 

Mrs Withey

After nearly 13 years of working at Brookhouse, Mrs Ainsworth is retiring today.

We wish her a very happy retirement and thank her for her hard work and dedication.

On Friday 18th it will be Children in Need. Brookhouse School will be supporting this charity day. The children have been invited to come to school with the theme of 'Spots and Odd Socks!' The 'Spots' idea is one associated with Pudsey Bear and the 'Odd Socks' was a suggestion from the children themselves which came through the School Council.

Join us for our Golden Assembly this Friday to see the children dressed in 'Spots and Odd Socks!'

School Council visited Corporation Park's War Memorial on the eleventh day of the eleventh hour of the eleventh month. They observed the two minutes silence and paid their respects to all those who have made sacrifices to ensure we are free to live the lives we lead today. They also placed the poppy wreaths on the Memorial which were made by all the children in school. Members of the public also commented on the children's level of respect and expressed their gratitude that the school took time out to mark this worthy occasion.  

Wow! Well done to Year 6 who have yet another week at the top of the attendance charts!

Wishing you all a very happy half term holiday with your families.

Please take care on Bonfire Night and I look forward to seeing you all safe and well on Tuesday 8th November 2016.

 

Best wishes
