| As many parents are aware, we open the side gate at 8.40am so that the children can wait on the school path rather than on Earlsdon Avenue North. The school day begins at 8.45am and the children from breakfast club and those who arrive at this time walk into school, put their belongings away and then start their early morning challenges. School staff are on the path from 8.40am—9am to welcome children into school. The side gate will close at 9am. At 9am classroom registers and meal choices for lunchtime are taken; lessons begin straight after this has been completed. If children arrive after 9am they will have to sign in through the main school entrance and they will miss their early morning challenges which may include completing learning from the previous day, practising key maths facts, spellings and handwriting. We would like to encourage families to arrive just after 8.45am to give the children time to put away their belongings, complete an early morning task and feel settled and ready for the day ahead. Thank you for your continued support |
When many of us think of December, we often think about Christmas, but this month is host to a range of other festivals and celebrations. Saint Nicholas Day is one of the celebrations in December that is observed throughout much of Europe, usually on the 5th or 6th of December. This festival celebrates a Christian bishop called Saint Nicholas of Myra. In some countries, Saint Nicholas Day is seen as a much more important festival than Christmas, and people celebrate this important day in lots of ways. Bodhi Day, also known as Rōhatsu in Japan, is a Buddhist holiday that takes place each year on the 8th of December. It marks the day that Siddhārtha Gautama, a
central figure within Buddhism who is also known as the Buddha, is said to have achieved enlightenment.
Hanukkah is a festival that’s celebrated by Jewish people, taking
place around late November to December. One of the best known celebrations in December, this festival has its origins in
events that happened over 2,000 years ago.
Pancha Ganapati is one of the more recent celebrations in December, having been celebrated since 1985. Originally created as a Hindu alternative to Christmas by a
religious leader called Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, it takes place over five days from the 21st to the 25th of December
