William Byrd embraced the Christmas spirit by decorating the classrooms, school halls, reception area and offices with festive decorations.
Each class decorated their very own Christmas hoop which have been displayed in our school hall for everyone to admire.
We are ready and excited for the upcoming weeks and we look forward to welcoming you soon to our Christmas events taking place this month.
On Friday 15th November William Byrd dressed up in their spots to raise money for BBC Children in Need 2019. The BBC Children in Need charity raises money to change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people nationwide.
Children and staff had a fantastic day and looked great in their spots. Throughout the day the children enjoyed Pudsey related activities.
We managed to raise £464.50! A great big spotty thank you to everyone who came dressed up to school and donated to the Children in Need 2019 appeal.
On Thursday 14th November the children were invited to come dressed to school in red, white and blue or denim to celebrate America Day; following the much of the work they were doing in school about the North American continent.
During the day the children took part in many USA related activities including creating their own American flags. The highlight of the day was the surprise firework display to celebrate Thanks Giving Day in America which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
At the end of the day children relaxed with a well deserved movie with popcorn in true American style.
On Monday 11th November William Byrd commemorated Remembrance Day. We started the day off with a whole school assembly where the children learnt about what Remembrance Day is and the importance of people wearing poppies.
Children and staff showed off their poppies with pride and we raised an amazing £615.86 for The Royal British Region charity.
The whole school observed a two minute silence to show our respect to the Armed Forces community, past and present.
Thanks to everyone for their support and remember; you should never forget!
The whole school took part in a variety of activities during Friendship Week celebrating kindness and friendship at William Byrd.
William Byrd took part in Parliament Week between the 4th November and 8th November. Throughout the week children took part in many class discussions:
Children visited the Vote Box throughout the week to put in their votes for our whole school vote.
Should we decorate the corridor between the two halls with children's work?
The results:
Ayes to the right - 272
No's to the left - 27
Our School Parliament will be meeting up to discuss the next steps.

A big thank everyone who came to our family Halloween Disco. The children and adults had a SPOOKTASTIC time and danced the night away. The costumes were fantastic and incredibly scary! Thank you to Miss Darby and all the staff that helped organise such a fabulous event.
