• COVID notifications during the Easter holiday

  Fri 26 Mar 2021
  To support contact tracing, it is very important that families continue to inform us of any positive coronavirus tests so we can carry out a risk assessment and inform children and adults who have been in close contact.  
  We would like to ask that parents email school using parent@earlsdon.coventry.sch.uk throughout the Easter holiday period .  
  Please include this information in your email:  Child's name and class ,the date when their symptoms began, the date they had the COVID test, the last day they were in school, if and when they attended breakfast or after school club in the week beginning 29th March and if they have music lessons the instrument they learn. Thank you 

• Spring term parent/ teacher consultations

  Fri 26 Mar 2021
  Thank you to the parents who have already had their telephone consultation with their child’s class teacher. These telephone meetings are planned over two weeks– 22nd March  to 1st April. The school office have sent out an email inviting parents to book an appointment using the online booking system. If you haven’t booked an appointment please contact the school office so a consultation can be arranged.

• Fundraising

  Fri 26 Mar 2021
  Well done to the group of Year 4 children who worked together in December to make and then sell lots of different crafts. They worked hard over several weeks and were thrilled that so any children from across the school supported their fundraising efforts.  The children have recently counted the money and we are delighted to announce that they have raised a grand total of £101.45 They have decided to donate the money to Coventry Foodbank and we will be contacting the Foodbank to invite them to come to school to collect this donation. Thank you for your support with this fundraising and well done Year 4!

• Red Nose Day

  Sat 20 Mar 2021
  The children look amazing today– thank you. We are thrilled that they have embraced the opportunity to dress up for Red Nose Day and that we have had a fun day in school. The children have been learning about the great work that this charity does
  both in the United Kingdom and around the world. We were also thrilled that we were able to welcome some ‘super’
  visitors onto the school playground to add further interest and excitement to the day. Have a look on the latest news section of our website for more information and photographs from today and from across the week as we have also enjoyed Shakespeare Week in school. Thank you if you have been able to visit the Comic Relief website to make a donation to this charity.
   

  

• Lola

  Sat 20 Mar 2021
  This half term we have also been able to welcome back our additional therapy dog Lola. Lola is owned by Miss Haines and will be based in Year 6. The children are very excited to welcome
  her into the classroom and have been spending time getting to know Lola and learning about her role as a therapy dog. She is a great addition to Year 6 and has helped all the children (and teachers) to be calm and happy whilst returning to school!

• World Down Syndrome Day

  Sat 20 Mar 2021
  Sunday 21st March is World Down Syndrome day. We would like to support this day and celebrate diversity by asking
  the children to wear a pair of colourful, bright and unique socks to school-as 21st March is a Sunday we will be moving this to Friday 26th March this year! Wearing colourful socks helps us to appreciate that people with Down Syndrome have an extra
  chromosome (21st chromosome). In school we will be celebrating diversity throughout the week and learning that chromosomes make each person unique. We hope
  that all of the children will support this event– we are looking forward to seeing their colourful and unique socks next Friday. Thank you for your support
   

• Parent / teacher consultations information

  Sat 20 Mar 2021
  Unfortunately we are still not able to welcome parents into school and as a result the Spring term parents consultations will take place over the phone rather than face to face.

Appointments will last 10 minutes and class teachers will be calling parents from a mobile phone which may register on your
  screen as an unknown number– please look out for this around the time of your appointment.
