• Our School Values Celebration for ‘We try our best!’

  Thu 22 Oct 2026

  This month, we have been focusing on our school value ‘We try our best.’ Throughout the month, adults in the school have been watching carefully for pupils who consistently try their best in all aspects of school life. Today during assembly, these children were presented with the very first value leaves, which they hung on our Bocombra Values Tree. They then enjoyed a special celebration break time in the staff room with Mr Vallelly and Mrs Hawthorne. We are very proud of all of the children who always strive to try their best!

  

• Magnificent Maths Week 2026

  Fri 16 Oct 2026

  To celebrate Maths Week this week we worked together with partner classes across the school to complete a variety of practical and exciting maths activities. The children relished the opportunity to work together and learn from each other using Numeracy.

  We also had a Maths Week Homework competition on the run up to Maths Week with the entries demonstrating excellent creativity and understanding when it came to Shape and Symmetry. Well done to our winners of this competition - the teachers had a very hard decision to make to choose their winners!

  On Thursday P5-P7 invited parent visitors into school to talk about their jobs and how they use maths within them. Both visitors and children alike enjoyed the experience with the children gaining a valuable insight into maths beyond the classroom. Huge thank you to our visitors for coming in and helping to make our Maths Week a roaring success.  

  To top off Maths Week 2026, P7 Mr Hamilton's class held a bun sale for P1-7. It was an amazing experience for everyone involved with the added bonus of a bun or two.

• Specsavers visit P6 & 7 to talk about looking after our eyes.

  Thu 15 Oct 2026

  P6 & 7 had a visit from Celina who talked to the children about how they can keep their eyes healthy. She told them it is important to get their eyes tested every two years and she explained what symptoms they might have that would indicate they might need glasses. She answered lots of questions that the group asked. It was very helpful.

  Mon 12 Oct 2026

  Break the Rules Day 2026 - Our PTA are pleased to announce the ever popular Break the Rules Day as a half term fund raiser, planned for Friday 23rd October.

   

  Each pupil will receive a Break the Rules slip on Monday 19th October and can choose which rules they would like to break. Please note that as children will be wearing their own clothes for Ditch the Dark Day on 23rd October, so do not need to pay to break that particular rule. Each broken rule is 50 pence per rule. All proceeds to PTA funds.
