BWA International Families Day
2025-05-22 | Belleville Wix Academy, Wix Lane, London, SW4 0AJ, United Kingdom
Re: International Families Day

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are excited to share with you that we will be celebrating International Families Day on Thursday 22nd May at BWA. To celebrate our diverse and international family community, we will be hosting a range of events during the school day and after school. We hope that you can support us in our efforts to make this a really memorable and enjoyable experience for all.

Homework project:
We invite all pupils to complete a project of their choice which celebrates their heritage. We encourage our pupils to showcase their creativity in this project. Here are some ideas: create a family tree, a sculpture of a landmark or prepare a show and tell. Some pupils may even like to interview a family member to learn more about their family history or heritage. Pupils should bring their homework projects to their class teacher by Monday 19th May. There will be an International Families Day Assembly during this week where some pupils will have the opportunity to share their projects and learn more about their teachers’ heritage.

International Families Day – Thursday 22nd May

We would like to invite all pupils to come dressed in their national dress or colours of the flag that represents their country or heritage. If your child has a PE lesson on this day, please ensure that they are wearing a suitable outfit.

We feel that it would be an incredible experience if some of our parent community were able to visit us in school and share a part of your culture and heritage with the pupils. This could be through talking to a class, teaching them a skill or a national song/dance, completing an arts and crafts activity or anything else you may like to share. If you would like to volunteer, please indicate this on the form at the end of this letter by Friday 2nd May and we will be in contact to discuss this with you. Do speak to us if you have any questions about this.

We invite all families to join us for an international buffet after-school which will take place in our lower hall. Families can then enjoy the food in the canteen and in the playground. To make this a success, we kindly request donations of food from around the world. Donations of food should be brought to the school office from 2:30pm. You may prefer to make a monetary contribution to the buffet which can be made on school gateway. The buffet will open at 3:30pm.

To ensure that allergies and dietary requirements are met, please complete the slip below and attach this to the dish. You can collect one of these paper forms from our office. All food must be nut free.

Please complete this form if you plan to attend the international buffet and if you would like to volunteer to visit us at school.

We look forward to celebrating International Families Day with you.

Kind regards,
Year 2 Teacher

BWA PTA - Toy Donation to Support Local Charities
2024-11-29 08:00 - 21:00 | Belleville Wix Academy – School Gates
On Friday 29th November, together with APL Ecole de Wix, we will be supporting HomeStart Wandsworth, Young People Matter and Streatham Youth & Community Trust
with a COLLECTION OF NEW TOYS & GAMES, for children aged 0 to 16 years old, taking place at school at drop off.
The festive period is difficult for many, with more and more families struggling to make ends meet. This is why we are very happy to partner with 3 fantastic local charities again this year.
These organisations are working all year round to help and support disadvantaged families. The new toys and games will all be distributed to children at Christmas parties hosted by the charities in December.
For many of these children, it will be the only present they get this year. We would be most grateful if you wanted to help and bring a smile to their faces!
To ensure every child receives a present, we would like to ask each year group to buy for a specific age range:

Nursery & Reception: 0 to 4 years old
Year 1 & Year 2: 5 to 7 years old
Year 3, Year 4 & Year 5: 8 to 11 years old
Year 6: 11 to 16 years old

For some inspiration, here is a wish list shared by the charities:

For younger ones: baby sensory toys, soft toys, games, arts & crafts, puzzles, books, cars, building blocks, action figures, …
For older ones (10+): books, board games, sports equipment (balls, rackets, etc.), selection boxes, bath sets, re-usable water bottles, …

All gifts must be NEW and unwrapped (but you can add a bow if you’d like to).
Please note that for health & safety reasons, the charities cannot accept clothes or second-hand/used items.
In return for their donations, children are invited to wear their favourite Christmas jumper or festive outfit at school that day.
Many thanks for your kind and generous support!

Optional extra information for Nursery & Reception parents and carers
HomeStart Wandsworth, who is supporting 0 to 4 years old children, have just done a new partnership with two local toy shops – Chalkboard and QT Toys – on Northcote Road.
Both shops have a wishlist from the charity for that age group. Should you wish to support a local business as well, simply ask for the wishlist and quote HomeStart Wandsworth when purchasing your gift.
