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

A huge thank you to all of our families for donating food to the Food Bank in Blackburn. On Friday 14th October, Barbara Foster from the charity visited our Harvest Assembly and was very pleased to receive all of the donations. As ever, our Brookhouse community is extremely generous!

 

 

 

 

Another 100% attendance for Y6 this week has put them at the top of the attendance chart.

 

Can anybody beat them?

 

 

Well done Year 6!

We would like to invite all parents to meet our Senior Leadership Team in order to discuss how to support children's reading at home.

 

The meeting will be held in our new library (formerly year 2) at 8:40am on Wednesday 28th September.

Well done to both classes for superb attendance this week!  Our overall attendance average for last week was 99.1% - which is BRILLIANT!

 

Keep it up - remember EVERY DAY COUNTS.
