Blue Class
Happy Holidays and Thank You
Hello everyone,
What a great last day we had in school on Friday! I'm sure you'd agree that the children sang, danced and retold their Malvern adventures brilliantly, with confidence and smiles. It was lovely for the children to share their books with you, see photographs of Malvern and it was nice to be able to chat to you all.
The children have been a pleasure to teach this year with their hardworking, positive and friendly nature and we will miss them very much. Thank you so much for your generous gifts, cards and lovely words. It was very kind of you.
We hope you have a good summer break and we'll look forward to seeing some of you at our holiday club.
Many thanks once again,
from Miss Townsend, Miss Kuriger, Mrs Taylor, Mrs Cooper and Mrs Spurgeon xxx
We've Returned...Safe, Happy And Very, VERY Tired!
Good evening everyone,
Well done Blue Class for a wonderful time on our residential. From trekking up the Worcestershire Beacon, to zooming down the zip slide and venturing into the 'Tunnel of Doom', we had an amazing time that we're sure we'll all remember for a very long time.
All of the BFS adults were so proud of not only your determination, independence and effort but also of how kind and caring you were towards each other, particularly when those heights and dark spaces were a challenge or towards those who were staying away from home for the very first time. All of our leaders said they wish BFS could come every week because of your great manners, team work, enthusiasm and smiles.
We imagine some of the children will be asleep very soon (as will the teachers!) but we hope that when they are recharged and full of beans again, they will enjoy sharing their holiday tales with you.
Thank you for making this trip possible and we're sure the children will be delighted that we can share the happy news that all of them can now make their own bed and their own lunch!
Have a restful weekend and please note, the children can have a week off from homework to aid their recovery!!
Many thanks, from The Malvern Team xxx

Happy Half Term Blue Class
Hello Everyone,
Well done Blue Class for working hard this half term albeit a short one. Our 'Wonderful World' topic has been fascinating where you've further developed your understanding of the wider world and its diversity and investigated aspirational people from near and far. Creating board games, finding out what decimal numbers are and enjoying singing and art work to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE day with friends from Dodford First School are just a few of the headlines from this half term. Phew... we'll all need a good rest next week.
Thank you to your grown ups at home for supporting you in so many ways this half term from cheering you on at our sunny sports day this morning, encouraging quality homework each week, working on targets shared at parent consultations and helping to develop your independence. Parental support is greatly appreciated and it makes such a difference to academic progress and learning behaviours.
Have a lovely half term and, fingers crossed, the predicted wet weather doesn't make an appearance. Keep enjoying lots of reading and times table games over the next week too. Your times table fluency and accuracy have greatly improved as a result of lots of practise both at home and in school so keep going during the holiday so you'll be ready and raring to go for our special times table quiz during the first two weeks back.
Have fun, keep safe and we'll see you after the half term break.
Love from Miss Townsend and Miss Kuriger xxx

Happy Easter Blue Class
Hello Blue Class,
Well done for another great half term where we have enjoyed learning about The Vikings and Easter as well as enjoying our first bell boating session along the Alvechurch canal. Your performance on the steps last Wednesday to welcome in Spring gave your families a lovely start to their day and I think they were blown away with your final song where you sang in harmony.
All term you have continued to work with enthusiasm, care and effort and it was lovely to share your books during parent consultations to see the progress you are making. 'Take a Trip' is our new topic when we return where another award winning text, 'Journey to Jo'burg' and new challenging but exciting learning await us alongside the opportunity to revisit previous knowledge and skills to help you become confident and competent learners.
Have a well deserved rest over the holiday but also try and find time to work on your targets that were sent home including regular reading and times table practise (see if you can master the 7s and start to learn the 9s). Doing this a little and often will make a big difference and help you make further progress next term. We look forward to seeing you on Monday 28th April but in the meantime have a lovely Easter break.
Keep safe and have fun!
Love from Miss Townsend and Miss Kuriger x
