  This week we all took part in the online festival to celebrate the magic of reading. Each day the children watched a different video and explored a theme from Cressida Cowell’s Waterstones Children’s Laureate Charter: “Every child has the right to...”

   

  “...be creative for at least 15 minutes a week” - Monday

   “...have a planet to read on” - Tuesday

   “...see themselves reflected in a book” - Wednesday

   “...have some choice in what they read” - Thursday

  "...read for the joy of it"- Friday 

• Christian Values Day - Respect

  Tue 14 Sep 2021

  Today the whole school spent the day exploring one of our Christian Values - 'Respect'. Each class shared the famous bible story of the Creation in Genesis and thought about why it is important to show respect towards people, animals, plants and the earth. We ended the day with a whole school assembly where each class had the chance to share some artwork linked to the area they were exploring.

• Rock Bottom - end of term show

• Water Works

  Sun 27 Jun 2021

  Names of Butleigh school pupils to live underground for the next 100 years

   

  Pupils of Butleigh Church of England Primary School were invited to sign a water pipe which will now remain underground for the next 100 years.

   

  The pipe turned time capsule comes as part of Bristol Water’s water main replacement work in the area to improve the water supply, fulfilled by Lewis Civil Engineering.

   

  The children found watching the pipe being replaced a fascinating opportunity to discover more about how our water supply reaches our homes and school. They loved being part of history by adding their names to the new pipes.

   

  Matt Bridge, Project Manager for Bristol Water’s contract partners, Lewis Civil Engineering, said: “It is important to engage children in what is happening around them, and with the mains replacement works so close to the school, it made sense to get them involved. As well as learning about water and construction, we had lots of great questions, like why we wear steel capped boots.”

   

  The water supply for Butleigh comes from Cheddar Water Treatment Works in the Mendips. The new pipe will ensure a reliable water supply for the village for years to come, while also improving on odour, colour and taste.

   

  The work is due to continue for the next 3 weeks, ending in July.
