Mrs Bollands was very honoured to be invited to Windsor Castle this week to be presented her MBE for services to cultural edu-cation by Princess Anne. It was a very special day for Mrs Bollands and her family. She would like to thank all families and staff for their kind wishes.
On Friday our school turned blue as we all enjoyed celebrating Coventry City’s promotion to the Premier League.
We would like to say a very big thank you for making it possible for everyone to have an ice-cream or lolly—with a blue theme of course!
We were delighted to welcome over 2000 visitors to our May Day Festival this year. We were able to offer a wide range of inclusive sports tasters - table tennis, speed reactions, kick boxing, ju jitsu, boxercise, hoopla and rowing. Many thanks to Amazon for running a craft activity and mini games. The VR activity was something new for us this year and many children enjoyed having a go. It was great to have an allotment sale and we hope that all your plants are successful! A huge thank you to our fantastic PTA who provided refreshments, a raffle and a toy sale. The allotment sale and PTA sales raised nearly £1500 so a massive thank you to everyone in our community who supported this event.
A group of children were invited to spend the day at King Henry’s
School this week for a Singing Festival. They developed vocal
and ensemble skills, including singing in tune, listening to others, balancing sound, and producing a good-quality tone. At the end of the day, parents were treated to a fantastic performance of the songs that the children had been working on.
A group of children represented the school at an archery tournament this week. They were excellent ambassadors for the school and Mr Gascoyne said that it was a pleasure to take them.
Well done!
The PTA have been busy preparing the Rainbow Raffle for the May Day Festival and they would like to thank families for sending in so many generous donations. The money raised in the raffle will be used to support the school in a range of ways, including helping to subsidise trips. Everyone at school would like to thank the PTA for their generous gift of any ice-cream for every pupil to celebrate Sky Blues being promoted to the Premier League.
Congratulations to all our pupils who participated in the Mini London Marathon last Saturday. Forty children aged 5-11 took part
in this iconic marathon and all received a London Marathon
medal.
Please come along and join us on the school playground on Monday during the Earlsdon festival. We will be running a range of free sports activities from 10am—2.45pm.
In addition, the PTA will be running a selection of stalls for families to enjoy including a toy stall, pre-loved uniform, refreshments and cakes and also a rainbow raffle.
Please let the PTA know if you are available to volunteer for a short time and help run a stall on the day. We hope to see you there!
We have been very impressed with children’s participation in our Science Fair project and we have seen some fantastic independent research. We are looking forward to exhibiting the children’s work in Earlsdon Library on Wednesday 22 April. Parents are welcome to come to the library to view the
work between 9.15 and 9.45am. Children will then
present their work to the judges throughout the day.
Please remember that all projects must be in school on Monday and should be clearly named.
We are very grateful to Amazon who we have recently
partnered with. They have been supplying the school with
resources including notebooks and pens to help with
writing initiatives, prizes for the science fair and sports
equipment. They have very generously sponsored our
participation in the Schools’ London Marathon.
During the Easter holiday they sent a team of volunteers
who did a fantastic job of clearing the front garden and
painting the school gates. They will also be supporting us
at the May Day Festival. Thank you!
