Bridgwater library half-term events:
Colouring Competition
Our colouring competition is to design a witch’s hat! The competition is running now and closes on Saturday 4th November, so there’s plenty of time for entries to be submitted. Entry sheets can be picked up from Bridgwater Library or downloaded from our Facebook page, and I’ve also attached a copy to this e-mail. Entries can be handed in to us in person, or can be sent to us by Facebook message at Somerset Libraries Bridgwater or emailed to brwlib@somerset.gov.uk
Potion Trail
Our treasure hunt this half term has been created by Early Years and Education students at Bridgwater & Taunton College. Children will collect a potion card from the library enquiry desk, and then have to help the witch and her cat find the different amounts of ingredients needed to create a potion. Once all ingredients have been found there will be a potion sticker as a prize! The potion trail is running from Friday 20th October until Tuesday 31st October.
RSPCA Workshop & Craft
The RSPCA will be joining us on Wednesday 25th October from 10am-12pm to hold a drop-in workshop and craft event. The workshop will be focused around learning how to protect our pets from fireworks and how to keep local wildlife safe in the winter months, and the craft will be making conker fireworks. This event is completely free and is drop-in so there’s no need to book!

Somerset Council undertook a review earlier this year of building records for local authority maintained schools that were built during the period when RAAC was in use. This concluded that it is unlikely that these buildings were constructed using RAAC. To date only one instance has been conclusively identified, in a multiacademy trust school, in Somerset. The safety of your child is the absolute priority of the council and this school. While it is easy to rule out the presence of RAAC in some schools, in others the process can be complex and involve several stages of investigation. Following DfE guidance, the Council has been investigating the issue of RAAC, including on-site initial and follow up surveys that commenced in June 2023, and they continue to do so with urgency. The Council anticipates concluding all initial surveys of remaining local authority maintained schools over the coming fortnight. At this time there is no cause for concern in relation to RAAC in our school. We will obviously update you if the situation changes.
Volunteers needed:
If you have any spare time to spare and any skills to share we would welcome you to our school to volunteer.
It could be listening to readers, helping with small groups or any specialised skills you have to share please pop into the school office or see Lisa Phillips.
