Our Value of the Month for January at Chiswick & Bedford Park is teamwork.
Working as a team means that we can benefit from each others help, knowledge and experience to accomplish our goals together.
“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” – Mother Theresa
“Teamwork. Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller
You can see the poster for this month’s value on our Value of the Month page.
Welcome back to CBPPS for Spring term 2022!
We have a variety of events and activities taking place this term, with some dates for the diary including:
Wow, what a treat for the children at CBPPS! On Monday 13th December, the ultimate festive visitor popped in to visit the pupils – Father Christmas! The children were delighted to meet him, and be able to tell him about their Christmas activities and ask questions about the reindeer.
They were all very pleased with their gold coins that he had brought all the way from the North Pole – thank you Father Christmas!
On Thursday 9th December, Year 4 designed and made these fantastic Anglo-Saxon inspired masks. Their jewelled creations are based on real masks from the era, and were made in art this week.
On Wednesday 8th December, Reception took to the stage to perform their first Christmas Nativity show at Chiswick & Bedford Park.
After practising their songs and dances for weeks, the children were very excited and they all remembered their lines brilliantly.
A big thank you to all our Reception parents for bringing in their excellent costumes and helping them learn their lines at home.
On Wednesday 8th December, Year 1 performed their first school nativity, called ‘Humph the Camel’, in front of an audience. Well done to all the children for remembering all the songs, dances and lines they had – they all performed brilliantly.
On Thursday 9th December, pupils and staff celebrated the upcoming holiday by joining in with Christmas Jumper Day 2021.
We saw glittery jumpers, woolly jumpers and even a few jumpers with flashing lights on them!
To top off the festivities the whole school was treated to Christmas dinner by our school caterers, Holroyd Howe.
On Friday 3rd December the whole school gathered in assembly to hear the results of the Bebras Challenge 2021, which every class from Year 2 to Year 6 took part.
All pupils who took part were awarded a certificate of participation, whilst others reached merit and distinction in the challenge.
Congratulations to one member of Year 6, who was awarded a special gold certificate for qualifying in the top 10% nationwide!
Our Value of the Month for December at Chiswick & Bedford Park Preparatory School is Optimism.
Being optimistic means being hopeful and looking to events and the future with confidence.
“Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.” – Nicholas M. Butler
“An optimist understands that life can be a bumpy road, but at least it is leading somewhere. They learn from mistakes and failures, and are not afraid to fail again.” – Harvey Mackay
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” – Anne Frank
You can see the poster for December, along with the artwirk for previous months, on our Values page.
There is a new, beautiful art display on the ground floor at CBPPS, inspired by the world famous Bayeux Tapestry.
Each pupil in the class drew one section of the tapestry, and we think the overall piece looks fantastic!
