BMJ Weekly Newsletter
Head Teacher: Mrs Marie Hill
Deputy Head: Mr Mark Bennett
Welcome to the next 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.
Random Acts of Kindness:
The random act of kindness advent calendars have
been a huge success in classes. The good deeds
carried out by the children each day are having a
huge impact with kindness being spread throughout
the school. Remember - no act of kindness, no matter
how small, is ever wasted.
Book Advent Calendar:
Every day in December a new book from our school
library will be delivered to your child’s class. Parts of the
books will be read to the class and each day a
different child will get to take the book home as their
reading book (please return once read). There are
some really exciting books to go out! You may even get
some stocking filler ideas.
Enterprise Reminder
The Enterprise Fair is on the 14th December at 2.00pm.
Please come along – this year our children have
decided on the product they would like to make,
agreed on the resources to use, spent their budget at
the enterprise shop and are currently in the process of
making some quality gifts and decorations! There will
also be raffles and refreshments. Hope to see you there!
School Basketball tournaments
Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who
supported Y3 at the school basketball tournament on
Wednesday; Eagle class were the winners. Well done to
everyone who has taken part.
Basketball Fixtures
The Under 9 basketball team played away at Brinsworth
Howarth this week. In a hard fought match Brinsworth
Manor won 13-9. Well done to everyone who played.
Next week we ‘take on’ Whiston Worrygoose at home.

Flu Immunisation
Nurses will be back in school on Tuesday 8th
January to carry out further flu immunisations for
years 3, 4 and 5. If your child has not been
immunised, please return your immunisation
form to the school office so they can be
vaccinated on 8th January.
Attendance
Just a reminder that our annual school target from
the local authority is 96.5% and at the end of every
half term you will receive an attendance letter. These
are to either congratulate pupils and parents or to
remind parents of attendance figures and that the
Education Welfare Officer is available for support if
needed. We always offer support to ensure that you
have all resources available to you. Please contact
school if you do not understand the information in
the letter.
Medical Appointments
Eye tests, medical and dental appointments should
be made for after school. However if you are unable
to do this, please inform the office at least the day
before the appointment. We can then let the
teacher know ahead of time and ensure your child is
not out doing an activity like P.E when you come for
them. You will be asked to provide the appointment
letter for all appointments, a copy of which will be
placed on your child’s paper file.
Dinner Money
School dinners cost £2.05 per day or £10.25 per week.
Dinners should be paid for in advance either weekly
on a Monday morning or monthly if you prefer. If your
account falls into debit you will be asked to bring
sandwiches for your child until the debt is cleared.
Alerts can be set up on Parentpay to let you know
when the balance is zero. Information is available in
the office. Thank you to all those parents who
continue to support school by paying for school
dinners and keeping their accounts in credit.
Carol Concert
There will be a Civic Carol Concert at Brinsworth
Community Centre on Sunday 9th December at 6pm.
Entrance is free, light refreshments will be served. All
