Bolton School Primary Division Junior Boys’ School Wednesday 1st February
Spring Term, 2023 — WEEK B
You may recall in last week’s newsletter, we wished Mr Porter the very best of luck as he took part in the Warhammer World Championships in Las Vegas. Mr Porter performed incredibly well, winning all of his initial games. He made it through to the semi final, where he lost to the eventual winner.
Wednesday 1st February Swim Development Club (by invitation), 4-5pm Cubs, 6.30pm Thursday 2nd February U10 ABCD Football vs Stockport Grammar (A) (return to PR 4.45pm) Jujitsu, 4-5.30pm
Well done to Mr Porter, who is now ranked Number 3 in the world! Watch this space, as he is looking to introduce a Warhammer Club to us soon! We have entered Under 11, Under 10 and Under 8 teams in the forthcoming National Primary Schools’ Chess Competition. The first round will be held at Park Road on Saturday 18th February (the day after we break up for half term). Additional players are likely to be added to the teamsheet over the next week or so and we are very much hoping to continue our winning streak from the recent AJIS tournament. Good luck, boys! Our annual Music Festival will take place here at Park Road on Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th February. It is not too late to enter your son for this—reminders have been emailed home today and can be found on Parent Portal and linked here. Local Bolton charity, Fortalice, is delivering workshops to children and their parents/ carers to raise awareness of how to keep safe online. The sessions will be interactive, fun and informative. Children will have the chance to teach the adults what they need to know! More information can be found linked here. It may seem like some time off, but World Book Day will be here before we know it and this event will take place on Thursday 2nd March (during the week we return to school after the half-term break). We invite the boys to come to school dressed as any character from fiction, non-fiction or poetry. There will be prizes for the best and most inventive book-themed costumes. In addition to dressing up, there will be lots of other literary related activities taking place throughout the day, including a special assembly, Drop Everything and Read activities and more. Watch this space!
