We recently experienced anti-bullying week in school, when we focussed on kind words, helping others and looking out for each other.
The official website carries some resources for parents and carers, as well as plenty of information about bullying, mental health and strategies to help each other.
Here is the link:

I would urge you to have a look at the resources and talk to your children about it!
Many thanks
Mr Field!
Do you want to help your child use their mobile phone safely?
We know that some of our older pupils have their own mobile phones and we regularly talk in classes about how to stay safe whilst online or using their phone.
I have seen a useful resource from EE that is designed for parents and carers of older primary-age children – it allows grown-ups to fully understand how children use their phones, how to help them identify risks and also gives children a ‘PhoneSmart Licence’ if they complete the ‘course’!
You simply need to register yourself, then set-up your child’s profile, then they can log-in and complete some fun online activities with you to show they understand how to use their phone in a ‘smart way’!
In this world of changing communication and media use, it is really worth while taking control of helping our children – I hope this is useful and I would appreciate any feedback!

Notes from the Music Room 10
This week the music room has been full of Christmas cheer with rehearsals for Chistingle and other Christmas performances. The children have worked hard with both Mrs. Kessel-Fell and Mrs. Roberson and each week the standard of singing and playing keeps on improving. Each class is working on performance pieces, but also learning specific musical language and developing the skills needed to become musicians, such as team work, compromise and listening. Each week we see children helping each other to learn a new part of a song, or check that they are playing the right note and celebrate each other’s successes within the classroom and clubs. Well done to everyone, you should be proud of yourselves.
A big thank you to everyone who came dressed in rainbow colours for children in need. We all went out to create a big rainbow on the school playground. I hope you agree that it looks brilliant. A big thank you too to Mr Jones who climbed a very tall ladder to take our picture.
We raised at £97.50
Well done Bomere Heath
Notes from the Music Room 8
Sorry this should have been posted last week, 11.11.21
This week (8 -12 November) the music room has been focusing on Christmas! With Mrs. Kessel-Fell classes are learning their songs for the Christingle service on 7th December to make sure everyone is in fine voice to be heard around the school grounds. Choir are continuing to learn a range of songs and have started a new song, well done everyone!
Mrs. Roberson enjoyed hearing the pbuzz and recorders all learning Jingle Bells. All instrumentalists are sounding great and hopefully you’ve enjoyed hearing your children playing the pbuzz at home too! Music Community Group started a Christmas piece this week, they sightread Carol Of The Bells brilliantly before playing through the other pieces that they’ve learnt. Great work everyone!
Hi everyone! I am proud to publish my Newshound Club’s first issue of their school newspaper – The Bomere Beagle.
A dedicated group of Year 5 and 6 pupils have been working hard to explore and write news stories about our school. They will publish the newspaper every few weeks throughout the year.
We hope you enjoy reading it and if you have a story for them, please let us know!

Today we are launching our ‘Reading Challenge’ and this time we have linked your child’s reading to several journeys around the world.
It’s not that easy to travel at the moment but we are thinking about people all over the world. Why not read your way around the world with the Reading Miles Global Challenge.
Collect 500 reading miles for every 30 minutes you spend reading, with a parent, carer, or your brother or sister. You could even video call your relatives and read aloud to them. You just need a signature, amount of time read and time you read at. Collect reading miles in a special reading passport on your very own reading world tour – a whopping 33,000 miles in total! Reading counts between 8am and 7pm.
The challenge is split into seven journeys, each of which finishes in a ‘checkpoint city’.
The following resources are available to download and print off to enable you to take part in the challenge.
• A wall map of the world charting the Reading Miles Global Challenge route
• A passport to record the reading
• A certificate for when you complete the challenge
• Postcards which you can complete when you reach checkpoint cities.
• All children that complete the each journey challenge will have their names entered into the draw to win the reading challenge box of goodies. Complete all 7 journeys and you will have 7 entries, so a much better chance of winning.

We hope you will enjoy and support us with this reading challenge.
Kind regards,

Notes from the Music Room 7
This week has been Live Music Week for Shropshire Music Service which means that ensembles have been visiting local schools to perform music and teach children about a range of musical instruments. Bomere Heath welcomed the Brass and Woodwind group along with the drum kit and got to see a range of instruments, including the pbuzz, playing a range of music. If your child would like to have individual lessons on any of the instruments that Shropshire Music Service offer, then please follow the link to find out more.

Along with watching music played live, both Mrs. Kessell-Fell and Mrs. Roberson started this half term with a look towards Christmas. Choir and Music Community Group started again and are already sounding great! Well done everyone!
