As we come to the end of another busy week at Brunel, I wanted to share a few reminders about what we have coming up next week.

On Monday, the NHS team will be in school to administer the nasal flu vaccinations to those children whose parents and carers have already provided consent.

Also on Monday at 2:30pm, we will be holding our Harvest Festival. Families are warmly invited to join us as we come together as a school community to celebrate Harvest.

Thank you so much for the incredible generosity already shown through your donations. The gates will open at 2:25pm for you to be able to join us.

On Thursday evening, we are looking forward to our Cats Theatre Trip. We know this will be a fantastic experience for the children attending. Before we reach the weekend, we are also incredibly proud that some of our Year 6 children will be representing Brunel at the George Orwell Project at Plymouth University this evening.

It is a wonderful opportunity for them to represent our school and share the fantastic work they have been involved in.

We hope you enjoy reading this week's Brunel Bulletin, which once again celebrates just some of the many things happening across our school. 

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

We wish all of our Brunel families a wonderful and restful weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone again on Monday.

What a brilliant Reading Café we had tonight!

It was wonderful to see our children come together to celebrate their love of reading and share their enjoyment of books.

The atmosphere was fantastic, with children excitedly talking about their favourite stories, characters and books.

A huge thank you to our wonderful Reading Pioneers for helping to make the event so special, and to Miss Pentreath for organising such an incredible experience for our children. We are so proud to continue inspiring our children’s love of books and nurturing a lifelong love of reading.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Reading Café such a wonderful success!

What another busy and brilliant week it has been at Brunel! 

It has been wonderful to see so many exciting learning opportunities taking place across the school and our children continuing to show such enthusiasm, curiosity and determination in everything they do.

Our after-school clubs are now well underway, and we are incredibly proud of the range of opportunities available to our children. There are still spaces available in a number of clubs, so please do take a look and consider signing your child up. Clubs are a fantastic opportunity for children to try something new, develop their talents and spend time with friends.

A huge thank you to our staff who voluntarily give their time to run these clubs. Their willingness to provide these additional opportunities is just one of the many things that makes Brunel such a special school.

Our Helping Hands group has also been very busy this week! They have worked together to create a wonderful new Little Engineers Shed for our youngest children to enjoy during their lunchtimes. We cannot wait to see the imaginative building, designing and problem-solving that takes place there. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing another fantastic addition to our school grounds to life.

We were also delighted to hold the first Lighthouse Room Parent Café this week. It was a really positive opportunity for parents to come together, find out more about the support available through our Lighthouse Room and talk with members of our team.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. Finally, a reminder that our Reading Café takes place next Thursday, 1st October, straight after school. We would love to see as many of our families there as possible.

Come along, enjoy some time together and help us celebrate something that sits right at the heart of learning at Brunel – a love of reading!

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Degemer An Jydh – Seize the Day!

Coming up this week at Team Brunel...

Dear Parents and Carers, As we come to the end of our first full week back at school, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for all of your support as our children have returned to school. It has been wonderful to see the children settling back into their routines so positively and approaching the new school year with enthusiasm and confidence.

A special thank you to those parents and carers who attended our Parent Cafe and Helping Hands session this week. Your involvement and partnership are greatly valued, and we appreciate the time you take to engage with the life of our school community.

A reminder that our active travel initiatives begin next week: 
Two Tyre Tuesday Children in KS2 are invited to bring their scooters and helmets to school to enjoy during playtimes. 

Wheely Wednesday Children in Reception and KS1 are invited to bring their scooters and helmets to school to take part in this exciting opportunity.

We are also excited that our after-school clubs begin next week. If your child has secured a place, we know they will enjoy the fantastic range of opportunities available.

Please remember that our free Breakfast Club runs every morning from 8:20am, providing children with a positive start to the day and ensuring they are ready to learn.

For families requiring wraparound care, Bridge Kids is available before and after school and can be booked through ParentPay. We would also like to remind parents to book their child's lunches for next week to ensure meal choices are available and recorded in advance. Please take a few moments to log in to Arbor and review your child's information.

We ask all families to: Update permissions for photographs, social media, local walks and visits. Check and update contact details where necessary. Review and update medical information, including any medical conditions, allergies, medications or healthcare plans, to ensure our records are accurate and up to date. Having current information helps us keep all children safe and enables us to provide the very best care and support throughout the school day.

You can catch up on all the latest school news and upcoming events in this week's Brunel Bulletin. Thank you once again for your continued support. Working together makes such a positive difference to our children's experiences and success at school. We wish you and your families a very happy, relaxing and enjoyable weekend. 

As we prepare for a brand new academic year, we are excited to announce that Brunel Primary Academy will reopen its doors on Monday 7th September! 

We can't wait to welcome our wonderful school family back after the summer break. We hope everyone has enjoyed a fantastic holiday filled with fun, relaxation and special memories.
