Read MorePSHE ‘Reintroduce and Reconnect’
Published 18/03/21We have been supporting children’s return to school through our well-planned ‘Reintroduce and Reconnect’ PSHE curriculum. The activities we have taken part in are to help reignite our flame of learning through re-establishing friendships and connections with staff and others. Each day has begun with a carefully planned lesson based on the NHS 5 steps to mental wellbeing:
To show connectedness across school and across year groups we have created a number of displays. We have created a whole school paper chain with each child sharing something they learnt or were proud of during lockdown. We have also created a paper hand chain which shows connectedness between different year groups. On the paper hands we wrote what we missed about being apart and what we like most about being together again. Each class has made a hopes and dreams 3D display to show what the children would like to achieve now they are back in school.
Here is a small selection of our displays across the school.

Published 30/11/20It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at William Byrd! (30/11/2020)
Everyone across the school has been busy decorating classrooms, offices, and school halls ready for Christmas.
Our school hall looks very festive with our annual Christmas Hoop display. Every class decorates a hula hoop with a Christmas theme and we hang them in the hall for all to see. Everyone did a fantastic job and they all look amazing.
We would also like to thank the Heathrow Rangers who have once again given up their time to support our school. They kindly donated a Christmas Tree and decorations which is now brightening up the space outside the school’s main entrance. They also provided decorations for our main Christmas Tree in the school hall and spent the morning decorating it. Both trees look lovely and we are very grateful to them for their ongoing support.
