Well done Holdbrook! 

Our Year 4, 5 and 6 boys and girls took part in their first football competition. 

They represented the school well and were fantastic sports men and women. 

We are looking forward to more and more competitions in the future. 

Pictures to follow soon. 

Today we launched our Wellbeing Wednesday initiative.  The children and staff all had a lovely roast dinner together and talked to one another. 

Today the theme was all about Kindness. 

The children were asked to think about a time that someone has been kind to them this year and to think about how they can be kind in the future. 

I wonder what will be the theme next week? 

Have a look at the pictures below. 

Today we had a lovely day celebrating Valentines Day. 

We thought about what it means to be kind and openhearted, two of our Holdbook values. 

The children really enjoyed their non-uniform day and had a lovely Valentines meal prepared by our kitchen team.  We finished the day with a cake sale. 

We made £148 for the school altogether.  Thank you for your support, this will go towards new playground equipment for the children. 

Together we are Holdbrook Heroes! 

Have a great half term. 

This week we have been recognising children's mental health week. 

The theme for the week has been 'Find your Brave.'

The children have been exploring what it means to be brave in class.  We finished off the week with an assembly where we thought about being kind, brave and a Holdbrook hero. 

It was great to see so many parents at our parents evening. 

If you were unable to make it, please book an appointment with your child's class teacher. 

Today we welcomed the company Rocksteady to Holdbrook.  They delivered a whole school assembly.  We learnt about live music, the different instruments in the band and tried to guess the different songs Jamie played. 

We had a wonderful time singing and dancing. 

What a wonderful way to finish a Friday afternoon. 

Today we hosted a learning together session with the parents and children in year 3 and 4.  The parents sat alongside their child and joined in a whole class reading session. 

We had a wonderful turn out and some fantastic feedback. 

We hope there will be many more learning together sessions in the future. 

Last week, we welcomed the charity 'Show Racism the Red Card' to Holdbrook. 

The children in years 4, 5 and 6 participated in a workshop where they developed their understanding of racism and the impact this can have on people.  They then finished the day with a powerful assembly.
