	<link>https://www.birchhillprimaryschool.co.uk/news/?pid=3&amp;nid=1&amp;storyid=93</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>A short holiday message for our whole school community.</p>

<p>It has been a busy time across Maiden Erlegh Trust and as we head into the holidays, we&#39;d like to wish you all a restful time &ndash; however that may look for you.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Whilst rest is often thought of as stopping or switching off, the research tells us it&rsquo;s far more layered than that &ndash; it can be active, creative, physical, social or solitary, and different types of rest serve different purposes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We hope you enjoy these ten evidence-backed insights about rest and that however you are spending the Easter break, you find some time for rest and recuperation.&nbsp;</p>

	<link>https://www.birchhillprimaryschool.co.uk/news/?pid=3&amp;nid=1&amp;storyid=57</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;Year 6 are very excited to announce the start of their charity topic. Over the course of this week, they have prepared presentations on a charity they would like to raise money for. They included Loeys-Dietz Syndrome Foundation, Gibson&#39;s Go Getters, Parkinson&#39;s UK and Thames Valley Hospice. It was a tough decision to make, but we are pleased to announce the charity we will be raising money for this year is Gibson&#39;s Go Getters: a charity that raises money towards funding research into the cause of SUDC, The charity has a lot of importance to Year 6 and is run by a parent from the school. Over the coming weeks, we will be announcing many events in support of this cause so stay tuned for updates. We also held a mini competition to create a charity logo. The winner of this was Dylan Flynn with his vibrant and thoughtful design, which incorporated aspects of Birch Hill with aspects of the charity.</p>
