Welcome to this week’s edition of the Brinsworth Manor
Junior School Newsletter
Our 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.
World Book Day
We kicked off World Book Day yesterday with an
assembly so that everyone could see the fantastic
book character fancy dress costumes. It was amazing
to see how imaginative the children have been.
Children also took part in the Great Brinsworth Bake Off!
They created cakes, buns, biscuits and bread that
showed their favourite story. At 3.15 the cakes, buns,
biscuits were on sale in the hall and the top three cakes
were raffle prizes.
Raffle Winner: 170
Competition Winners:
Y3 – Isaac – Harry Potter Monster Cake
Y4 – Isobel – Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake
Y5 – Holly – Sorting Hats Cake
Y6 – Jacob – Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory Cake
Special Mention – Y4 – Oliver – Stick Man Cake
The winners have won a Lakeland Voucher to spruce
up their cake making equipment.
A huge thank you to pupils and families for their
participation in the costume and cake competition –
the bake sale was scrumptious success!
Money raised will be donated to the Lord Mayor’s
Charities and the British Heart Foundation.
