On Thursday 9th December pupils and staff came to school in their Christmas jumpers as we participated in Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day once again this year.
For Christmas this year we arranged 'Chaplins Mini Pantos' to come into our school and entertain our children from Year 1 to Year 4 with the ever popular pantomime tale of Red Riding Hood.
On Monday 6th December, children were invited to come to school dressed up as their favourite fairytale character, so they could enjoy a special Fairytale Ball and other fun activities during the day.
A huge thank you to Heathrow Rangers who helped us brighten up the space outside the school's main entrance and main school hall.
Once again this year each class decorated their very own Christmas hoop which have been displayed in our school hall for everyone to admire.
Children in Need at William Byrd was another great success this year. Children and staff were asked to dress up in their spots or something yellow and bring in £1 to donate to the cause.
Children in Need at William Byrd was another great success this year. Children and staff were asked to dress up in their spots or something yellow and bring in £1 to donate to the cause. Everyone looked fantastic in their Pudsey onesies, T-shirts, headbands and spots.
Throughout the day children across the school enjoyed doing various Pudsey related activities and the day was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We manage to raise £472.00!
Thank you for your generous donations and continuous support.
This week William Byrd joined schools across Britain to embrace the message of ‘One Kind Word’, the theme for this year’s Anti-Bullying Week campaign created by the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA) which works to raise awareness of bullying and bring lasting change to children’s lives.
On Monday 15th November, we had the MLP Poetry Slam at Barnhill Community High School where schools from across the Trust participated in a poetry competition based on the theme of Remembrance judged by our local MP, John McDonnell.
Remembrance Day on 11th November is always one of the most important dates of the year for the school as we remember the people who have died in wars around the world.
To celebrate Diwali this year we invited our children and staff to come to school in their Diwali/party clothes.
We were very excited and fortunate to secure a session with the Ark Farm in school. The visit supported our Year 2 children in their current work for Science and Writing where they are learning about hibernation.
