Welcome to this week’s edition of the Brinsworth Manor

School Values
Politeness, Fairness, Friendship, Trustworthiness,
Happiness, Pride, Respect, Determination,
Courage, Honesty, Teamwork and Cooperation.
Our values are important because they help us to
grow and develop. They help us to create the
future we want to experience. They make us into
the people we want to be and enable us to live in
a society that cares for one another.

identifying different rocks.

will also be holding some parents events for you to
share in your child’s learning. Look out for our whole

pace! Picture This Project
Our Picture This project this year will be focused
around three artists and their work - Degas, Renoir
and Monet. As well as taking some pupils on a
photographic excursion around Rotherham, we are
trying to collect items to help us: Beach Photos and
Newspapers are really needed! However they will
need to be suitable ones for children to use –
Thank you!

Opening doors early - Reading School
This half term we are trialling opening our doors to
children from 8.30am. Many of our children have said
that they would like to come into school to read or
settle into the day earlier rather than be out on the
yard. We have had a number of minor incidents in
the morning that could be prevented if they came
straight into school rather than staying out on the
yard. For example: some of our younger children
being hit with balls brought from home, groups of
children falling out or children playing too rough.
All of our pupils have a right to a safe environment!
I have asked staff to monitor this situation so please
respect their decisions on the yard when they are
trying to keep your children safe.
Children have breaks, lunchtimes, the daily mile and
PE sessions, throughout the day when they can play
with equipment or support their physical
development. There will still be a staff member out
on the yard who will blow the whistle at 8.40am.
Thank you.
Attendance
Well done Iguana Class – 97% attendance
Just a reminder that our annual school target from
the local authority is 96.5%. Letters have been sent
to those pupils with 100% attendance and those
whose attendance percentage has dropped.
These letters are a reminder if a child’s
attendance has dropped. It is a statutory
requirement to keep parents informed.
Thank you to those parents who continually
support us. We will soon be awarding all children
with excellent attendance.
Under 9 Cricket Fixtures
On Wednesday Brinsworth Manor Junior Under 9’s

fought match Brinsworth Howarth won 264 runs to
256. Well done to everyone involved.
Next week the under 9’s play Whiston Worrygoose
