FOUNDATION NEWS Carnival was a blast!
Task of the week:
Let your child style your hair. Give them hair gel, mouse or even some colours and let them turn Dad and Mums hair into something they want. Remember to be proud of it and wear it for the day.
This week the children enjoyed all the fun and
games we had during Carnival. The children went to
every class from FS1-Y6 + the Art room and spent
15 min playing. Each teacher had set up a fun game
for the children. Thank you to all the parents that
helped out.
Reminders: The weather is still chilly so please keep sending
hats and scarves. On the 13th there will be a bake
sale, so please send 2zl or 3zl so they can get a
treat.

Secondary House Points Friday 8th March 2019 I hope everyone had a great half term and feels suitably refreshed to take part fully in all the school is offering this half term! Students in Earth have certainly come back strong and earned a whopping 199 house points this
week. However, there have also been great performances from students in other houses e.g. Jiye earning 50 house points for excellent work and as-
sisting others in ICT! Students in Yr 11 and IB1 who willingly volunteered for a Sports Science practical also earned house points. Being helpful to others
no matter what the subject is exactly part of the behaviour we are looking to foster at BISC. I hope to have the full report from Ski Camp before next
weeks’ update. Until then, enjoy the weekend :)
Points gained this week:
