OUR BALBY 7 LEARNING SUPERPOWERS!
Wow! Things are moving on really quickly
Two teachers and a teaching assistant came to visit us from Bawtry Mayflower this week
to look at our Foundation classes and to talk to children in Year 5 about their Super
Learning Powers. They were particularly impressed with the language children were using
in Year 5 and how confident they were to talk about their learning well done!
Please remember to use these words to talk to your child about their learning in school,
they will tell you lots!

Children who help the Office Staff
We have had a lot of children helping around school and in the office. They have
been doing things such as monitoring the dinner bands, handing out class letters and sorting
and tidying in the office. They have been a tremendous help and they put lots of effort and
enthusiasm into everything that they do. The staff in the office would like to thank all of the
Office Angels and the children who help us out. Keep up the good work.
