School Uniform
Mon 19 Jul 2021School uniform
As you start to think about the new academic year, we wanted to take this opportunity to remind families of our school and P.E uniform. Please remember to label all of your children’s school uniform- our lost property box is overflowing with unnamed school sweatshirts, cardigans and P.E hoodies.
School shoes
Please remember, before you buy new shoes for your child/ children, that they should be wearing black shoes
without any colours or logos. If you are buying a ‘trainer’ style school shoes, please ensure they are completely
black– we have been seeing school shoes with coloured stripes and soles on a daily basis this term.
P.E kit
We would like to take this opportunity to remind parents that the children should be wearing a P.E kit in our school colours. Please ensure that they wear plain navy, black or grey shorts or jogging bottoms, a plain white t-shirt and a plain navy, black or grey sweatshirt or hoodie. We do not want parents to have any additional expense. In preparing the children for their P.E sessions and as such would like to suggest that the children wear their school uniform sweatshirt/ cardigan, a school white t-shirt and plain shorts or jogging bottoms on P.E days.
In addition, please do not buy trainers specifically for P.E lessons– they can use the trainers they already have

End of year video 'Unstoppable'
Mon 12 Jul 2021Earlsdon Primary School children have collaborated to record a whole school version of the song "Unstoppable". Recording was done in individual classrooms and then combined into the final song.
The video shows some of the amazing things the children have been up to this year. They have proved that they are "unstoppable!".
We hope you enjoy the recording.

Flame of Friendship
Fri 02 Jul 2021The children enjoyed a fun afternoon on Thursday when we welcomed the Olympic torch to our school. The classes have been learning about the Olympic Games, the Olympic values and making flags from the countries that will be competing in the Games. This Olympic celebration culminated in the children lining the streets and the school site to celebrate the arrival of the 1948 torch; there was lots of cheering chanting and the passing
traffic and pedestrians even joined in!
