    Headmasters Newsletter 27
    6th February 2015
    A variety of useful topics were covered at last Thursdays
    Parents Council meeting, and I am grateful to all the Council
    members. The minutes will be issued shortly.
    Children and adults alike love stories. Writing ones own story
    is quite a skill, and last week Year 1 were embarking on their
    first written stories. The standards were excellent. Very well
    done to Jonathan Grierson and David Onochie-Oputa for their
    epics about various epic journeys, Jonathans in a Minecraft
    setting.

    Bronte Friends' most recent fundraising has been for a new


    smart board for the IT room. On behalf of everyone in the
    school, Id like to thank the Friends for this. Its a great piece
    of equipment which really does transform the room. It will
    greatly enhance the teaching and learning experiences
    there. So, quite rightly, Thank You Bronte Friends was one
    of the first images on the screen! Mrs Walsh and some
    children are shown here, putting the screen through its
    paces.

    With Australia and New Zealand cricket teams touring this


    summer, there will be plenty of cricketing interest. Im
    delighted that many Bronte children are involved with cricket,
    and can report that Rio Thind this weekend has trial nets with
    Kent County Cricket Club, with the potential to go forward to
    the countys youth team. He is a promising all-rounder, and we
    wish him well at the weekend.
    Year 3 have been learning all about the Tudors as part of their
    history curriculum and this week they were learning about
    Tudor clothes. Did you know that there were all sorts of laws
    surrounding what Tudor people were allowed to wear? For
    example, only the royal family could wear purple, only lords
    and knights who owned land were able to wear red or blue but
    farmers and labourers had to wear clothes made from wool
    costing no more than two shillings. The punishment for
    breaking these rules was three days in the stocks!

    Looking Ahead
    Week 6
    Tues 10th February

    2.30pm Pancake races for all


    year groups. Children should

    frying pan, a hat and an apron.

    Tuesday is 17th February, in
    half term, the Bronte
    observation of the day is taking
    place the Tuesday before)
