Our Refugee Week Community Cape is on display in the school reception area. The children have been busy using their creativity to design patches, which were joined together to create our school community cape- make sure to stop by and have a look!
We will be holding our end of year open evening alongside an enterprise event on the playground on Wednesday 16th July: 3.30pm– 4.15pm. Class teachers and support staff will be available so that you can chat to your child’s current teacher and meet their new teacher for next year. Each class is working towards an enterprise challenge over the next few weeks to develop their financial awareness, teamwork and problem-solving skills, this event is an opportunity to celebrate their work. We will follow the normal end of day routines to ensure that all children are collected safely and then re-open the school gate around 3.30pm. We hope you can join us at this end of year whole school event.
A reminder that Sports Day for Year 1-Year 6 children is being held on Tuesday 15th July (1pm-3pm) at King Henry V111 School (Spencer Road entrance).
• On this day we will be serving a buffet lunch for children who have a school dinner.
• The event will finish at 3pm allowing time for parents to collect siblings in Reception. Reception staff are aware that some parents may be a few minutes late to collect.
• Children in Year 1– Year 6 need to come to school wearing their school P.E kit: plain navy/ black shorts and a plain white t-shirt or white polo shirt as well as their trainers!
• Please avoid sending the children to school with school bags and rucksacks on this day, so they have less to carry to King Henry’s.
• Unless your child has a pre-booked place at after school club or a sports club, they must be collected from King Henry’s at 3pm.
We are looking forward to an active and fun afternoon and hope you can join us!
Well done to the group of children who spent a day last week at Ascension Dance's studio at Fargo Vil?lage creating a performance which they shared at the De?mentia Activity Day centre on Wednesday. Their perfor?mance was very well received!
Well done to all the children who participated in the Children's mile on Sunday at War Memo?rial Park. It was a great event and lovely to have so many of our children taking part. A special mention to Jake (Year 5) who was the overall winner– an amazing achievement! Thank you to all the families for supporting this event.
On Monday local artist Katie O worked with all children in Reception and Key Stage 1 to design and paint ladybird and bee stones. These will be hidden in the War Memorial Park ready for the Festival Booknic on Saturday!
Congratulations to Year 4 for showcasing their ukulele learning at the Butterworth Hall this week. They have been learning to play the ukulele as part of their music lessons, and it was wonderful to see the whole year group performing on Tuesday morning. Well done to Year 5 who have been learning a selection of songs selected by Coventry Music to perform at the Butterworth Hall on Tuesday evening. It was a joy to see them perform with such enthusiasm.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated food items for Carriers of Hope – World Foods Food Hub. Your kindness was deeply appreciated by the organisation. We’d also like to thank all the children who bought orange hearts and accessories, as well as those who volunteered their time to sell them during lunchtimes and playtimes. Thanks to their enthu?siasm and support, we raised a fantastic £198, which will be shared equally between Migrant Help, Stories of Hope and Home, and Schools of Sanctuary. A special mention goes to Jake and Grayson in Year 5, who raised an additional £82 by selling homemade lem?onade at the weekend—what an incredible effort! In school, the children have also been busy using their creativity to design art patches, which will be joined together to create a school community cape which will soon be on display in the office reception area.
We are looking forward to taking part in many activities during Coventry Arts Week. Throughout the week we will have a focus on creative learning. Each day will start with a focus on a different composer. Children will also be learning the “Sing Up” song ready to perform to parents in the playground on Friday 27th June in the afternoon.
We have submitted art work that we hope will be selected for the Coventry Schools’ Art Exhibition at The Herbert. This will be on display during the week and over the summer.
