  • It's Christmas Time!

    Published 30/11/20

    It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at William Byrd! (30/11/2020)

    Everyone across the school has been busy decorating classrooms, offices, and school halls ready for Christmas.

    Our school hall looks very festive with our annual Christmas Hoop display. Every class decorates a hula hoop with a Christmas theme and we hang them in the hall for all to see. Everyone did a fantastic job and they all look amazing.

    We would also like to thank the Heathrow Rangers who have once again given up their time to support our school. They kindly donated a Christmas Tree and decorations which is now brightening up the space outside the school’s main entrance. They also provided decorations for our main Christmas Tree in the school hall and spent the morning decorating it. Both trees look lovely and we are very grateful to them for their ongoing support.

    Children learnt about the 'festival of lights' throughout the day and took part in various Diwali related activities including; designing rangoli and henna patterns, making Diwali cards, making divas (similar to a small tealight holder) and much more.  

    Children and staff thoroughly enjoyed the day.

    On Friday 13th November William Byrd wore their spots, Pudsey onesies, t-shirts and dresses to support and fundraise for BBC Children in Need.  The BBC Children in Need charity raises money to change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people nationwide.

    A great big spotty thank you to everyone who came dressed up to school and generously donated to the Children in Need 2020 appeal. We managed to raise a fantastic £515!

    On Wednesday 11th November William Byrd commemorated Remembrance Day.  All children learnt about what Remembrance Day is and the importance of people wearing poppies. 

    Children and staff showed off their poppies and other poppy merchandise with pride and we raised an amazing £529.83 for The Royal British Legion charity.

    The whole school observed a two minute silence to show our respect to the Armed Forces community, past and present.

    Thank you to everyone for their support.
