During the last week of term (week beginning Monday 16th December) the PTA will be running an chocolate tombola at the end of the school day on the playground. To help collect chocolate for this event, they are inviting the children to enjoy a non– uniform day and donate a chocolate item on Friday 6th December. Thank you for your ongoing generosity and support for our PTA
Thank you to all the Year 1 parents who were able to attend our Mastering Number at Home events over the last two weeks. It was great to see the classroom full of children playing mathematical games with their parents. All parents and carers have been sent the slides from the event and the games homework pack for week 1. We hope you enjoying playing maths games at home!
A message from the PTA: Christmas Tree Festival: 4-8th December, Methodist Church Calling all children! Here is your chance to be involved in decorating the PTA Christmas tree at Earlsdon Methodist Church as part of the Christmas Tree Festival. We would love your help! To take part: • Please collect a bauble template from the school office and design a bauble around your families’ favourite Christmas movie. (Alternatively, if you are feeling creative please feel free to decorate an existing bauble, make one from card, or even in 3D! Any designs are welcome!) • Drop your design into the PTA box which is on the school office front desk. Please include your name. • Please return your design by Monday 2nd December.
To help the children to learn how to stay safe, we will be sharing the Pantosaurus message and song with the children in assemblies over the next few weeks. To find out more and to support your child at home please access the parents information on the NSPCC Pantosaurus website.
Mr Kumar and our catering team will be serving Christmas dinner on Wednesday 18th December. More information about how to book a meal for your child will follow shortly (please note all Reception and KS1 children do not need to book as they are served school lunch each day). We will also be inviting the children to wear Christmas jumpers to school on this day, but would like to stress that we do not want this to be an expensive event for families– please don’t spend money buying a jumper. We welcome donations of Christmas jumpers that children have outgrown and will hang these on the preloved uniform rail in the main reception when we receive them. If your child does not have a Christmas jumper they can wear clothes in Christmas colours or a party outfit they already have.

Thank you again to all the families who supported our Millsy's takeover nights. We raised just over £800 towards our learning shelter. Over the coming months we will be working hard to raise the remaining £5000. We have also appointed some allotment leaders who are currently developing plans to build a covered pond to support learning about biodiversity. We have a couple of places left at our very popular wreath making event. Please register if you would like to buy a ticket for this.
This week our robotics teams have been very busy competing in a league event at King Henry's School and a national tournament at Orley Farm School, Harrow. All teams have developed their engineering skills and represented the school really well.
Last week the Reception children enjoyed making some flapjacks with Mr Kumar our school chef. The flapjacks included berries which had been harvested from the school allotment. They were fun to make and tasted delicious! Thank you to Mr Kumar for taking time out during his busy day to support the children’s learning.
