SUMO Course In June - Places Still Available
Thu 25 Apr 2024As you know, we have been offered an exciting opportunity for parents and carers to attend a short course taking place at Belmont in June. Places on the course are still available; If you would like to find out more or to ask any questions, either contact the school office to speak to myself or email me at Andrea.McCormack@belmont.lincs.sch.uk to book your place.
About The Course
The SUMO ‘Stop Understand and Move On’ course is for any parent, guardian, carer, or those who are supporting children and families who want to explore new ways to help children (and adults) navigate through the rollercoaster of life. The course aims to provide a ‘toolkit’ to help manage the big emotions and challenges that inevitably come their way. Each session has been designed to build from the last and show that small changes in our responses can lead to big changes as a whole.
The course is completely free of charge, taking place on Thursday 6th June, Thursday 13th June, Thursday 20th June and Thursday 27th June from 1.30pm – 3pm. It is a great chance to meet other parents and learn something new, with a cup of tea and a biscuit.
Thank you for your continued support.Mrs McCormack

Find Our Egg At The Giant Easter Egg Hunt!
Thu 28 Mar 2024A free Giant Easter Egg Hunt will be taking place in Grantham on Saturday, 30 March! It has been organised by SKDC’s Arts and Cultural Services Team working in partnership with local primary schools, community groups and businesses and we are excited to let you know one of the eggs has been hand-decorated by the children in Belmont Art Club!
The 3 foot tall wooden eggs were built by local artist Simon Kieffer from Outwood CIC, and the Art Club members had a great time helping to design and paint a fabulous decoration. Now it is finished, the egg will be hidden in one of the participating businesses, parks and shops somewhere in Grantham.
The trail will start from the Wyndham Park Visitor Centre between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Those taking part will have the chance to seek out the eggs whilst solving puzzles on the trail and once all the eggs have been found and the puzzles solved, participants can return to the Visitor Centre to receive a sweetie reward. They will also have the chance to enter a prize draw to win tickets for upcoming shows at the Guildhall Arts Centre.
Please note: Trail tickets are free but must be booked in advance and all children require a ticket.
All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
For more information and to book tickets, please visit the Guildhall Arts Centre website at www.guildhallartscentre.com

A Visit By Sunita
Wed 27 Mar 2024We were delighted to welcome Sunita from the 'Indian Experience' back to Belmont today where she led a whole school assembly and told the story of Rama and Sita. Afterwards, the children in Impala and Barasingha took part in classroom workshops where they learned about Hindu Gods and Hindu ceremonies before spending the afternoon dressing in traditional Indian clothing and learning some Bollywood style dancing. It was a great experience which all loved and we look forward to seeing Sunita again soon.

Sports Round Up Of The Term
Wed 27 Mar 2024This term kicked off with a fantastic achievement by some of our pupils. We had attended the Lincolnshire Sportshall Athletics Trials previously and we were extremely proud to say 8 of our pupils were selected to represent Lincolnshire in the Midlands finals. At the finals, our pupils were competing against other children from Leicestershire and Rutland, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Northamptonshire. A lot of these children in the competition represent athletics clubs and train specifically for the event they take part in whereas for our children it was a completely new event for them and something they had only practiced since the trials. Our children represented not only our school, but the county brilliantly and we had some fantastic achievements on the day. I was very proud of each and every one of them.
This term our Year 4’s finished their swimming lessons and we had some brilliant outcomes. We also completed our final round of 'Aspire to Inspire' mentoring from Inspire+ coach Sacha. The children enjoyed all of their sessions and were able to make progress in their well-being throughout.
We have also been busy competing in numerous sports this term. We started with the Netball tournament, in which our children did brilliantly, coming 5th overall and being selected for School Games Fair Play Award, something we take lots of pride in as a school when attending competitions. We then had an opportunity for all of the girls in KS2 to take part in 'Let Girls Play', the FA initiative to get as many girls playing football as possible. The girls had the chance to take part in lots of different football drills and games with Inspire+ and it was great to see so many of our girls have the opportunity to get active, with 50 attending! Next up was the Girls football tournament where again we performed great as a team and the improvement in some of our players was unbelievable. The girls managed to score lots of goals and only narrowly missed out on the semi-finals, finishing joint 5th overall.
Hockey was our penultimate competition this term, with 2 teams from our school attending. Both teams showed great progression in what is a very tricky sport to pick up and play. The Year 6’s were able to implement the skills they learnt in PE last year and the Year 5 representatives showed they had learnt lots of new skills in the club led by one of our Young Ambassadors and will only progress further in PE next year. Our final competition is Tag Rugby which takes place on the last day of term, but we have been looking forward to this one for a long time as we have had our Tag Rugby club which has been very well attended all term.
Next term will see our summer sport competitions take place, with opportunities for KS1 and Year 3/4 to take part in some cricket, 3/4 Tri-golf, 3/4 cross country and our year 5/6 girls/mixed cricket competitions. We will also be entering the KS2 athletics competition for the first time this year. News regarding our second Belmont Football 5-a-side tournament will also be finalised early into next term, which I am very excited about.
Thank you for your continued support.
