• Christmas Celebrations in school

  Mon 14 Dec 2020

  Christmas lunch will be served in school on Wednesday 16th December– thank you to all parents who have provided their child’s meal choice to help ensure the day runs smoothly.

  
  As you are aware, we will also be supporting Save the Children Christmas jumper day on 16th December and are looking forward to seeing the children looking very festive when they enjoy their Christmas lunch. If you would like to make a £2 donation to this charity then please go to savethechildren.org.uk to make your single payment donation.

  
  It has been lovely to see the children enjoying their Christmas parties this week. Whilst the parties were a little different this year, the children still enjoyed playing festive games and they were very excited when Santa visited them on the playground (whilst maintaining a social distance). 

• Merry Christmas

  Our giant wreath is made from unwanted, preloved, broken, old baubles and donated hoops, carefully pieced together by Sue Francis. We hope it brings a smile to your face.

  A huge congratulations to Ray Wilson, who has won a nomination for being a local hero. You will all know Ray, he has supported the organisation of the trails through the local woods on Beechwood Avenue during lockdown, we have advertised his trails here on our school website.

  Congratulations Ray, well deserved!

  Congratulations to us!

   

  Today we got notification that we have received the Coventry Peace Award. We are doing excellent work at promoting peace within our curriculum and through multiple opportunities outside of school. The breadth and depth of what we do, merits the Peace Award.

• Book Fair

  Wed 02 Dec 2020
  Thank you to everyone who supported the book fair by sending money, buying a voucher or ordering a book online. The book fair has now left school and will hopefully be back in spring. 

• Helping Hearts

  Wed 02 Dec 2020

  We are pleased to announce that this year Earlsdon Primary School will be supporting two local care homes and taking part in the Helping Hearts scheme. The children have been busy writing Christmas messages and making hearts for us to deliver to the local care homes. In return, some of the care homes are so thrilled, they have been making hearts during their craft sessions and have some messages for school. 

   

   

• Christmas cards

  Wed 02 Dec 2020

  Many parents will be wondering if the children are able to send Christmas cards into school this year. From this week until the end of term, all classrooms will have their own post box. All cards must be posted into the correct post box. At the end of term the cards will be issued out by the class teachers. 

   

  Thank you for your continued support. 

• Congratulations to our Book Fair competition winner

  Fri 27 Nov 2020
  The book fair is in school and this year the children had to design their favourite front cover! Congratulations to our Year 2 winner, who won £5.00 to spend at the book fair - he was thrilled! 

  

• A change to Reception mornings

  Fri 27 Nov 2020

  We continue to review procedures and our COVID-19 risk assessment and would like to make a change to the morning routine for the reception children and parents.   From Monday 30th November we will be inviting the reception children into school between 8.45am—9am. Rather than waiting outside the school gate, we would like reception children and parents to enter the school site when they arrive in the morning and walk straight down to the reception outdoor area, where a member of the reception staff team will welcome the children in to school. Now that the morning routines are more settled and working well for the children in year 1– year 6 we feel that it is a good time to make these changes to the routines for the reception children and hope this will reduce the time parents are waiting in the local area and on the school site in the morning. The main school gate will continue to be opened at 8.40am so that the older children can wait on the school path rather than at the front of the school. The children will enter school from 8.45am and we will close the side gate and car park gate at 9am when the last reception children have entered school
