HEAD OF SCHOOL
With the first ever term of the Godmanchester Bridge
Academy coming to a close, I would like to wish all our
children and their families a very happy and wellearned Christmas break. I have been so pleased with
the way the children have settled to school life despite
the temporary school building and the challenges of
being a brand new school - I am so proud of them!
With such resilient children the future is certainly
bright for the Academy.
As I drive into work each day I keep a close eye on the
building site at Romans’ Edge. So I was particularly
excited to see the steel frame for the Nursery building
has now risen out of the ground! This will soon be
followed by the frame for the Reception and Year 1
classes in January. Mrs Gardiner and I will be arranging
the first of several trips for the children to the site in
the New Year; we will be sending more details of to
you once they have been confirmed. Hopefully parents
and governors will be able to join us on some of these
visits.

CBeebies Rhyme Rocket Assembly
On Thursday 15th December the CBeebies programme Rhyme
Rocket came in to give a special assembly for KS1 and
Foundation Stage. The children were good at identifying rhyme
and laughed a lot at all of the jokes that First Officer Ditty and
Professor Poet told.
The visit was a fantastic way to promote rhyme. All of the
children became rhyme recruits and had a fun afternoon with
lots of space dancing. The school would like to say a big thank
you to the PTA for funding the event.
Foundation stage Christmas Play
The Foundation Stage classes of The Bridge
Academy and Godmanchester Academy worked very
hard for their play Busy, Busy Bethlehem. The
children have been singing the songs around the
classrooms for weeks while we have been preparing
the show.
We’re pretty sure it tired them out for the
weekend, following both of the play performances
but they did a fantastic job and the teachers are
very proud of them as I’m sure their parents are
too!
The children loved getting dressed up and were
very excited to finally perfrom the nativity to their
grown ups. Thank you to all of the parents and
carers that came along to watch and for your kind
donations towards the Holly Ward.
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year.
