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!
Welcome back to another busy and exciting term!
We were delighted to feature on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire this week as they put a spotlight on how we use produce from our allotment in our school meals. This
followed news that there is going to be a drive to improve school dinners nationally. We have had much positive feedback about our approach to healthy eating.
It is only a couple of weeks until the May Bank Holiday (4th May) when we traditionally open our playground for
a range of free sports tasters, allotment and PTA stalls and craft activities. If you are able to volunteer on this
day, even for half an hour, please let the office staff know. The event will run from 10am—2.45pm. We will be continuing to develop our extensive programme of learning outside the classroom. This includes 3W taking part in a Shakespeare performance at The Belgrade; Year 4 visiting Cadbury World; Year 5 going on a residential visit to Rough Close; children attending a singing workshop at King Henry’s; Reception going to Hoar Farm; pupils going on a sustainability visit to Spain and much more!
Year 2 had an extremely interesting visit to Mary Arden’s Farm in Stratford-Upon –Avon. They learned about what life was like in Shakespeare’s time and they had chance to take part in some drama. All children were excellent representatives of the school and we received brilliant feed back from the venue and also the coach company!
Reception enjoyed a visit to the church this week to learn about the Easter story as part of their Knowledge and Understanding of the World. Thank you for Penny from the Methodist Church for leading the session and welcoming the children and staff.
Our Year 2 gymnastics team attended the Coventry West Year 2 Gymnastic Competition at The Tribe Gymnastics Centre this week. All children were fantastic and impressed the judges with their agility.
We are not allowed to authorise holidays/extended absence during term time. We have been advised by the Local Authority that due to the high level of holidays/extended breaks being taken in term time, they will be applying fines for this time off school. We are pleased to let you know that in 2027 we have created an extended summer half term for families by scheduling three of our training days immediately before the summer half term break. This means that the summer half term will be from 26 May— 6 June 2027. Please note that this applies to next year. Any families looking to have an extended break outside the main summer holiday, will be able to use this period of time.
Many pupils have participated in a wide range of sports tournaments this year and we’re very pleased that Earlsdon is one of the schools who attend most tournaments in the city.
Our Year 6 Sports Hall Athletics Team won their heat and then went on to be Coventry West Plate Competition Winners. In rowing our boys and our mixed teams were Coventry West Champions and our girls team came second.
We were recently awarded the Equal Access School Award for our commitment to inclusivity in sport and for offering equal opportunities. These are in addition to our successes in table tennis and our fabulous participation in Junior ParkRun.
We would like to say a big thank you to Sparta-Fitness for allowing us to use their gym for training. Craig and Michelle have helped to train, motivate and advise the teams playing a big part in their success.
We also know that pupils take part in a wide range of sports outside school including swimming, cheerleading, rugby, boxing, dance and much more. Well done to everyone for being active!
We have been delighted to welcome parents into school for a a wide range of events this week. It was so lovely to see so many Mums and Grandmas at the Reception classes Mothers Day Assembly, where they were treated to lovely singing and thoughtful messages.
We are very grateful to the parents who have supported Aspirations Week by coming in to talk to
the children about their jobs.
Thank you to the parents who attended our phonics session—parental engagement in learning plays a huge part in children’s academic success.
We recently celebrated National Science Week in school with some exciting activities. Prizes and certificates were
awarded to pupils who took part in our interschool Padlet competition, recognising their creativity and scientific thinking. We also officially launched our School Science Fair competition, which we hope will inspire many more young scientists to get involved.
Details about the Science Fair have been shared with families and pupils. Anyone who would like to take part should
first complete a proposal form and hand it to their class teacher by Friday 20th March. After that, pupils can enjoy
working on their science project and preparing their investigation. Completed projects must be brought into school
on Monday 20th April.
We can’t wait to see the wonderful investigations and the thoughtful scientific questions our pupils explore!
