4th March is World Book Day.  Here in school will be holding many different events to celebrate reading!  We have been asking the children to write reviews on their favourite book.  These will be collected together on World Book Day and from the five best recommendations the school will buy copies of the books which will then be placed in the library for others to enjoy.

There will also be a Reading Raffle where - at any point throughout the day - when a child is spotted reading they will be rewarded with a raffle ticket.  At the end of the day there will be a raffle draw with books as the prizes.

At the end of the day, Storytime will take on a different slant.  Classes will be swapped around so the children will hear some-one different reading to them.

25th February, 2010.

Some changes are taking place to Blenheim's Governing Body.  After the last meeting on 22nd February there will now be three sub-committees.  These are:

Resources which will cover all financial matters, including budget setting and analysis, staffing as well as building improvement and maintenance.  The current chair of this committee is Stephen Bradford.

Curriculum & Achievement which will help oversee the implementation of the National Curriculum in the school and it will also be there to monitor progress and achievement within the school.  The chair is Nancy Thompson.

Pupils, Parents and Community which is a new body establish to broaden the school's outreach into the community.  There are co-chairs here Sharon Oakes and Jenny Haines.

Further details on when these bodies meet, their discussions and their decisions will be posted to the website.

If you, as a parent or carer, would be interested in getting more involved please talk to Sharon Oakes.  Sharon is also taking on respoinsibility for the PTA and needs all the support she can get!
