We have made a very strong start to the new academic year and our new children and staff are settling in well to life at William Byrd. Each year team has written a short overview of learning and progress so far.
Since the beginning of term Dolce, our new catering company, have been cooking delicious meals for our children. Booking is easy and can be done online using your SchoolGrid account. If you have not received your login details please contact the school office.
This year William Byrd celebrated Harvest Festival and organised a special Harvest assembly lead by the Reverend Mike Talbot. The Reverend spoke to the children about Harvest and the importance of sharing food and being grateful and thoughtful for what we have.
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who sent in their donations over the past few weeks. We will be visiting the Yiewsley Foodbank soon to donate all the tinned and packaged produce we have collected.
We are very lucky to have received lots of different worry monsters for the children to use to support their well-being during ELSA sessions. These were made and donated to the school by Knit-for-Nowt. We also had some dolls knitted for us with different emotions these were made and donated to us by the Women’s Institution and Brenda and Val from the Rotary club. Jan Presland also kindly knitted us some people who help us. Thank you to all who have supported us.
The teaching of Reading, both the technical aspects of decoding language and the opportunity for children to develop a love of reading, is one of the most important aspects of school life here at William Byrd Primary Academy.
