• Year 4 Fundraising

  Mon 14 Dec 2020

  A group of our year 4 girls have been busy making crafts to sell in school and raise money for Coventry Foodbank. They will be setting up their stall each day next week and would like to invite the children from across the school to buy an item and make a donation of at least 20p. The girls will be putting any money they raise into quarantine over the Christmas holidays and will count up how much they have raised at the start of the new term– they will not be able to give change.

   

  Please help the children raise money for this worthwhile local charity. The girls will be selling bookmarks, notebooks,
  games and origami heart pockets– all items have been made by the children as they have worked incredibly hard over the last month. 

• Christmas Celebrations in school

  Mon 14 Dec 2020

  Christmas lunch will be served in school on Wednesday 16th December– thank you to all parents who have provided their child’s meal choice to help ensure the day runs smoothly.

  
  As you are aware, we will also be supporting Save the Children Christmas jumper day on 16th December and are looking forward to seeing the children looking very festive when they enjoy their Christmas lunch. If you would like to make a £2 donation to this charity then please go to savethechildren.org.uk to make your single payment donation.

  
  It has been lovely to see the children enjoying their Christmas parties this week. Whilst the parties were a little different this year, the children still enjoyed playing festive games and they were very excited when Santa visited them on the playground (whilst maintaining a social distance). 

• Merry Christmas

  Have you spotted it yet? Wishing our local community a very Merry Christmas and wishing you all a safe, happy and healthy 2021. 

   

  Our giant wreath is made from unwanted, preloved, broken, old baubles and donated hoops, carefully pieced together by Sue Francis. We hope it brings a smile to your face. 

   

  From all the children, staff and governors at Earlsdon Primary School.

  A huge congratulations to Ray Wilson, who has won a nomination for being a local hero. You will all know Ray, he has supported the organisation of the trails through the local woods on Beechwood Avenue during lockdown, we have advertised his trails here on our school website. 

   

  Ray has worked closely with Earlsdon Primary over the years and has supported us with planting, hunting and den building in the local woods.

   

  Congratulations Ray, well deserved!

• Coventry Peace Award

  Thu 03 Dec 2020

  Congratulations to us!

   

  Today we got notification that we have received the Coventry Peace Award. We are doing excellent work at promoting peace within our curriculum and through multiple opportunities outside of school. The breadth and depth of what we do, merits the Peace Award.

• Book Fair

  Wed 02 Dec 2020
  Thank you to everyone who supported the book fair by sending money, buying a voucher or ordering a book online. The book fair has now left school and will hopefully be back in spring. 

• Helping Hearts

  Wed 02 Dec 2020

  We are pleased to announce that this year Earlsdon Primary School will be supporting two local care homes and taking part in the Helping Hearts scheme. The children have been busy writing Christmas messages and making hearts for us to deliver to the local care homes. In return, some of the care homes are so thrilled, they have been making hearts during their craft sessions and have some messages for school. 

   

   

• Christmas cards

  Wed 02 Dec 2020

  Many parents will be wondering if the children are able to send Christmas cards into school this year. From this week until the end of term, all classrooms will have their own post box. All cards must be posted into the correct post box. At the end of term the cards will be issued out by the class teachers. 

   

  Thank you for your continued support.
