Art News
Many thanks to those students and staff who supported in the creation of our Remembrance installation this year to commemorate 11th November.
Arts & Crafts for years 7, 8 and 9 will continue on Thursday, during lunch break, where we are creating CHRISTMAS designs and decorations for the Worcester Cathedral Festival of Trees next month. We are also creating the Christmas Wreath to be hung in Pershore Abbey as part of their Festive Wreath competition. I look forward to seeing lots of you there!
GCSE Art club continues next week during Tuesday lunch break and after school on Wednesday from 4-5pm for years 10 and 11.
Don’t forget to come and see Mrs Mills to collect your template for the Comic Strip competition! We would like as many entries from students as possible by the deadline of 11th December!
Finally, it was lovely to see so many children and parents attend the Prep School Family Art morning last Saturday. It was lots of fun with fantastic bonfire themed artworks created in the process! Thank you to Miss White and all the staff who helped plan and run this very creative morning!

Thursday we were treated by Class 1&2 to a Remembrance Day assembly, where they shared thoughtful poems.
Our Stars of the week this week are:

- 1/2: Max - for being a super role model to N/R
- 3/4: Jonas - for excellent work in Maths this week
- 5: Megan - for challenging herself

There has been lots of work going on across Prep this week: painting Christian depictions of ‘Light of the world’; investigating different materials; painting marine life in the style of Giles Ward; writing poetry amongst other things.
Next week is our final week of Stay and Play this term. We will be starting again after Christmas. More details to follow on socials.
Thank-you so much to the many, many people who responded to our Prep School socials form online – we will be reviewing your answers and comments over the coming week.
Have a lovely weekend all. Mrs Mao and Prep Team
School Tea-Towel
All students have been a given a letter regarding the opportunity to purchase a school tea- towel . Everyone in school will have their ‘head ‘ drawn on the tea-towel. It’s a great opportunity to purchase Christmas presents and makes a lovely keep-sake.
If you would like to purchase one of the tea-towels £5 each, please reply to the letter with the correct cash or bacs date to form tutors by FRIDAY 21st NOVEMBER. Orders after this date will not be honoured (Sorry – tight turnaround!)
Many thanks from Miss Brookes.
Candy Canes
DofE participants in Year 9 will be selling them to raise money for the charity “Shelter”. They will bring them around during morning registrations and will be selling them at short
break in the gazebo (outdoor classroom) or S2 (Mrs Ford’s classroom) depending on the weather.
The cost is £1. Pupils need to write the name and form of the recipient and can write them a short message.
Mrs Ford and the D of E Team.
London marathon
Mr Bille has secured a place in the London marathon 2026 and is running for Children with Cancer UK, it would be great if Bowbrook could make a small donation….. 🙂
It’s a great cause supporting children with cancer. Mr Bille will ‘employer match’ any funds raised so effectively doubling your donation! He is hoping he can raise £14k for the ‘children with cancer’ charity.
Thank you!
