Thank you very much to everyone who supported the allotment light trail this week. We really appreciate the support of a huge team of staff and parent volunteers.
Our allotment plays a key role in our school and in our science learning. We urgently need volunteers to help with various jobs over the winter months including digging beds, pruning and maintenance. If you are free, please come along on Saturday 3rd January 10am—12pm.
No experience needed. If you are unable to help on this date, please let us know and we will be in touch about the next date.
We were delighted to welcome Coventry’s Bishop Sophie Jelley to school this week. Bishop Sophie is the tenth Bishop of Coventry since the modern Diocese of Coventry was established in 1918. She has made history as the first woman to be Bishop of Coventry.
Bishop Sophie enjoyed meeting the children and learning about our work. She was particularly inter-ested in our peace education programme and our Schools of Sanctuary work.
We were able to share with her the importance of developing our children as responsible members of the community.
Congratulations to our table tennis teams who competed in the Warwickshire Schools Team Table Tennis Championships on Thursday at Stratford. For many children it was their first tournament and we were very proud of how well they played and how they demonstrated our school value of respect at all times.
A big well done to our boys A team who came first and qualified for the Area Finals in February.
We would like to thank Sport England and the National Lottery for funding our Saturday morning club sessions.
Mr Kumar and our catering team will be serving Christmas dinner on Wednesday 17th Decem-ber. More information about how to book a meal for your child will follow shortly.
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 buy a jumper for this day. If your child does not have a Christmas jump-er, they can wear clothes in Christmas colours or a party outfit they already have.
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.
We are very grateful to the PTA for organising the Christmas dis-cos for Years 1-6. The discos will take place after school on Tues-day 16th December.
Due to the Year 1 and 2 disco taking place immediately after school, pupils in Year 1 and 2 only can wear dis-co/party clothes to school on 16th December.
Children in Year 1 and 2 who have bought a disco ticket will be taken to the disco by their class teacher at 3.30pm.
Our first school junior parkrun is this Sunday. It will take place at the War Memorial Park near the play park. There will be a fun warm-up followed by the run/walk for the children. We are delighted that over 100 have registered—that is a quarter of our school!
The PTA have been busy preparing for the breakfast at school. We have bought rolls and sausages for all those who indicated that they would like one. These can be purchased in the school dining room which can be accessed through the school car park after the parkrun.
We look forward to seeing lots of families!
Many thanks to everyone for supporting us to make end of the day collection procedures safer for children. We are delighted that children are all being collected on time. Please note that we don’t make phone calls home for children who aren’t collected. These children are given a place at after school club and should be collected from the side entrance.
We have quite a lot of children who are arriving late to school in the morning. If your child is only a few minutes late: - they don’t start the day calmly as they have to rush to get into class - they miss extra adult support and the start of learning. Also our office staff have to manually add late children to our registration system. This often means that our office staff lose up to half an hour in total each day processing late arrivals.
Please get your child into good habits for secondary school, help them start the day calmly and help our office staff by arriving on time. Thank you!
We will be running two sessions for parents in Reception to introduce them to our phonics scheme—Little Wandle. These are very informative sessions and will help you to support your child with learning to read. The sessions are either Thursday 13 November 4-5pm or Tuesday 18 November 9-10am. We look forward to seeing you at one of the sessions.
Year 4 represented the school at Coventry Schools' Remembrance Service at the War Memorial Park on Wednesday. A special thank you to the Coventry Young Ambassadors who greet?ed schools and special visitors.
Please save the date for our first ever allotment winter lights trail. This will take place on 4th and 5th December after school. It will include a magical light trail at our allotments and also a visit to Santa. Warm refreshments will be available. Tickets will be limited and will be going on sale next week
