On Tuesday 6th February we had The Riot Act in school to deliver their Road Safety and Active Travel tour: ‘How We Roll!’ for our Year 5/6 students. This production promoted the key road safety messages and raised awareness of distractions such a phones, music and friends. The performers used funny characters to portray the messages and encouraged the pupils to interact in the production. 

This half term Year 6 have been learning about World War Two. We have focused on what part the bunker at RAF Uxbridge played in the Battle of Britain. And what better way to learn than to visit the place where it all happened? On our trip, we were told about the brave men and women who worked at the bunker. As the location of No. 11 Group RAF's Operations Room, The Battle of Britain Bunker was invaluable in defending Britain's airspace. We travelled back in time, descending into the bunker itself and exploring the visitor centre to understand what pivotal decisions were made to prevent Operation Sea Lion. Without these momentous contributions, we would be living in a very different world today.

Noah (Attenborough) - My favourite part was inside the bunker because it was fun to see all the stuff and what happened in the war. 

Sindy (Attenborough) -This trip was very exciting and told us lots of interesting facts about how World War II started and how the Battle of Britain took place. 

Gabi (Anderson) - My experience today was awesome! It really gave me an image of WW2. I find it interesting to learn what used to happen in the bunker and don't want it to happen again. I learnt that back then, dresses were made out of left-over parachutes because there was a ration on fabric.

Olivia ( Attenborough) - I think the trip to the bunker was fun because we got to exp0lore different artefacts from that period of time.

Kaif (Attenborough) - My favourite part of the museum because of all the guns, tanks, equipment that we could see close up. 

Rhomel (Attenborough) - The best bit was when we got to see the p[lotting table (where Winston Churchill stood) as the Battle of Britain began.

Isla (Attenborough) - I liked the part where we got to listen to phones warning  of air raids and the damage caused and trying on the RAF uniforms.

Year 5 had the brilliant opportunity to attend an 'Anti-Discrimination' session that was delivered by Brentford FC Community Sports Trust . The children discussed topics around equality, diversity and inclusion (in both sport and our general lives). The workshop looked at some highly important issues and discussed how our children at Belmore can form an allyship with people who could be facing any kind of discrimination based on disabilities, race or gender. This session was a fantastic way to ensure we are learning the most efficient ways to help make our school and community inclusive and welcoming. 

On Saturday 9th December, the PTA committee held our first ever Christmas event at Belmore Primary. Children were able to take part in gingerbread men decorating, Christmas card writing, face and nail painting and of course, a visit to Santa’s Grotto! A huge thank you to Door2Door Gaming for setting up a very popular gaming room and to Usborne Books for joining us too!

On Friday 17^th November children came to school dressed in spots and non school uniform to support children in need with a small donation towards this amazing charity.

On Friday 10^th November children and staff across the school observed a 1 minute silence at 11am to remember those that gave their lives in war.

Children produced some lovely artwork and made poppies during the day.

We managed to raise a fantastic £365.64. Thank you to all our families and friends for your generous donations.
