Armistice Day at Burhill We were so incredibly proud of our children yesterday as the whole school came together on the playground to observe a two-minute silence for Armistice Day. It was a moving moment, with children of all ages showing such respect and understanding as we paused together to remember those who have served and sacrificed. A special moment of reflection for our whole school community. #BurhillPrimary #SurreyPrimarySchool #TheBurhillWay #Remembrance

Celebrating Diwali at Burhill! The children have been learning all about Diwali, the Festival of Lights, through stories and creative activities. As part of their celebrations, each child made and decorated their very own Diya lamp, exploring the importance of light during this special festival. A lovely opportunity to learn about different cultures and traditions while getting creative! 🌟 #BurhillPrimary #Diwali #FestivalOfLights #SurreyPrimarySchool

🐻 Children in Need – Non-Uniform Day tomorrow! We're looking forward to supporting BBC Children in Need with a non-uniform day at Burhill! Children are invited to come to school in their own clothes, with something spotty if they fancy getting into the Pudsey spirit! 🟡 A lovely opportunity for our school community to come together and support a fantastic cause. #BurhillPrimary #ChildrenInNeed #Pudsey #TheBurhillWay

It was lovely to welcome our Year 1 families into school for a special workshop! Our family workshops are a great opportunity for parents and carers to see first-hand what their children are learning and how they learn it, giving them a better understanding of the activities and approaches we use in the classroom. The children really enjoyed sharing their learning with their families, and it was wonderful to see everyone getting involved. A big thank you to everyone who came along! #BurhillPrimary #Year1 #FamilyWorkshop #SurreyPrimarySchool

Year 2 Art – Sketching Hersham War Memorial Year 2 have been putting their observation and sketching skills to work, using Hersham War Memorial as the inspiration for their latest art project. The children have been looking carefully at the memorial's shape and details, creating initial sketches in preparation for a more detailed piece of artwork. A lovely opportunity to develop their artistic skills while learning about an important local landmark, particularly at this time of remembrance. #BurhillPrimary #Year2Art #Remembrance #TheBurhillWay

WOW! What a night! A huge thank you to FoBS for organising such a brilliant fireworks night and to the incredible team of volunteers who made it all possible! Events like this take an enormous amount of time, effort and organisation, and we're so grateful to everyone who gave up their time to help – whether planning behind the scenes, setting up, helping on the night or clearing up afterwards. We really couldn't do it without you! ❤️ It was wonderful to see so many families and friends coming together for such a lovely community event, topped off by an amazing fireworks display! ✨ A special thank you also to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service for their support. We're excited to find out how much was raised for our school and look forward to sharing the total soon! Thank you to everyone who volunteered, supported and came along. What a fantastic school community we have!

🎨 Firework Painting in Nursery! Things got wonderfully messy in Nursery as the children created their own firework paintings inspired by the artist Jackson Pollock! Using paintbrushes and their hands, the children had lots of fun splatting and splashing paint to create colourful firework effects. A lovely way to explore art, colour and creativity! ✨ #BurhillPrimary #NurseryArt #TheBurhillWay #JacksonPollock
