Today's post includes some information that has been the most memorable, special and contains some of the greatest pride I have felt in my career towards our children - huge thanks to Harry's family for permission to share this. It is a wonderful story which his family were keen was celebrated - perhaps take a read when you sit down with a cuppa this evening!

As many of our school family knows, we have been missing Harry at school recently - he's full of character, charm and humour and our classroom is a little quiet without him. Harry's class - unbeknown to any of us - set about making their own story books and saving up pocket money to buy them off each other. A knock on my office door found trembling hands grasping lots more money than anticipated with some of his class saying "We got all this - we didn't expect it. Now we don't know what to do with it - we wanted to get Harry something." The money was safely stored in the safe whilst more continued to be raised. When the children decided that they had finished, I was sent on a secret mission - ask Harry's Grandad what he would like! Then, off I went to Smyths Toys Superstores to buy a voucher. I tipped out the piles of change and the unusual total amount and the lady at the counter asked where the money had come from. After hearing the story, she went to see the manager who said - choose some Lego as well (from us and the class). One phone call to Mr Haddon (the shelves were packed with choice) and with Spiderman and the voucher in hand, I left feeling the most wonderful care from the toy shop, excitement for Harry and as much excitement to tell the children. The class were amazed at the news - it was a great lesson about acting with integrity and that this is noticed when you think no one is watching. They have letters written to Smyths Toys to say thank you. Perhaps one of the things that makes this even more special is that I know a group of the children led the fundraising and did much of the work to gain the money, but they would not say a word about who they are and what their whole class to take credit. When Harry opened his gift from his class, his face said it all - amazed and instantly seeing how special an act it was. He soon set about building the very advanced Marvel Lego and it has been wonderful to see this picture of it complete. His excellence in engineering is clear.

If any of you have the time (and fitness) there have been some fliers sent home, and also pictured here, to help raise funds for Lennox Children's Cancer Fund by undertaking a family run at Silverstone. This wonderful charity with very special people have provided us a robot to enable Harry to attend class. In time, we hope to fund raise more for this worthy cause.

So with great pride I sign off the post by saying, Year 4, I feel some of the greatest pride I have ever felt in my whole career for your care and integrity. Harry - we can't wait to see you back at school as your future holds great things (perhaps Prime Minister!). Your strength, bravery and determination are some of the best I have ever seen in a person and you are still so very young.

🚒🔥 What an exciting Friday for Reception and Year 1!

Today we welcomed Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service to school. The children enjoyed a special assembly where they discovered how firefighters help to keep us safe and learnt some very important fire safety messages, including how to stay safe around Halloween.

Afterwards, Reception had the chance to get up close to the fire engine, explore some of the equipment and uniform and even have a sit inside! There was lots of excitement when the crew suddenly had to leave for a call-out, showing the children just how important their job is.

The children may have an important job for you this weekend too: checking your smoke alarms at home! 🔥

Thank you to the firefighters for such a memorable visit.

Have a wonderful weekend!

What a busy week we have had at Blisworth! 🐻

Our newest children in Reception have received their very own Blisworth Bears, and we were incredibly proud of them as they sang so beautifully to their grown-ups.

Our girls’ football team represented the school brilliantly this week, showing fantastic teamwork and enthusiasm. Across the school, PE lessons have also been full of energy, with children developing their skills and enjoying plenty of friendly competition.

This week, we’d also like to give you a little insight into some of the wonderful learning taking place in Year 1. The children have been thoroughly enjoying their Bear Hunt unit in English, alongside accessing a wide range of provision designed to support and extend their learning.

Year 1 have also been busy making some Messy Memories in our forest area! Using seasonal themes, the children have had lots of opportunities to explore, investigate and learn more about their local environment. 🍂🌳

Well done to all of our children for another fantastic week at Blisworth - Miss Warren ... See MoreSee Less

Well done to our Year 5 and 6 girls who today competed in a football tournament. Miss Powell and Coach Lewis from Rhino Sports Academy said that their attitude, values and care to each other was second to none. Many adults also told me that it was great fun and the passion shown by all the girls is something to be proud of - we hear that you would all like to go again! Thank you to the grown ups for taking them and to the children for such wonderful values shown. Well done. ... See MoreSee Less

I get the special opportunity to do this week's Friday post and wow what a fun week we've had! It has truly been a wonderful residential, the children have been amazing and they should all be so proud of themselves for showing such courage, collaboration and perseverance. Enjoy some photos from yesterday's visit to the play area, game of rounders and movie night. Today the children participated in their last activities: Abseiling and Bushcraft.
I definitely had the best time! The children can't wait to see you and tell you all about it!
