Covid-19 Update
Mon 16 Nov 2020Thank you for your ongoing support during this second national lockdown. Please help to keep our community safe by socially distancing at the beginning and end of the school day when you are waiting to drop off or collect your child/ children.
To support our COVID risk assessment and ensure that the school building is well ventilated, we will be keeping windows and doors open in school. Please ensure that the children come to school wearing their school sweatshirts and warm clothing on their P.E days (in the school colours).

Free School Meals
Mon 16 Nov 2020Even if your child prefers a home packed lunch or has a free lunch provided by school (as all Reception, Year 1 and 2 pupils receive meals through different funding) it is important that you register for Free School Meals if you are in receipt of the agreed benefits. Please contact the school if you need any
more information about this. School is allocated additional funding that can be spent on additional staff to support the children as well as providing financial support to families for
school trips and other activities. Registering for FSM will also ensure that your family receive free school meal support during school holidays. Please take the time to apply. Should you apply and qualify, your child will still be able to have a home packed lunch should they wish to do so and therefore not have to have free school meals in school.Apply at: www.coventry.gov.uk/applyforfreeschoolmeals

PTA update
Mon 09 Nov 2020Thank you to the PTA who have kindly donated £150 to each year group to spend on toys and wet playtime activities. The PTA have also arranged for the children to design their own Christmas cards this year and the children’s drawings were sent off to be scanned during the half term holiday. The PTA are currently waiting for the order forms to be sent to school and once these are received the children will bring them home and parents can order and pay on line. The Christmas
cards will then be delivered to school. Please look out for your child's order form over the next few days. The PTA will be holding their online AGM at 1.30pm on 11th November. Please email earlsdonpta@outlook.com or contact them via Facebook if you would like to attend and a meeting invite will be sent to
you. -
Children In Need
Mon 09 Nov 2020The focus of this national event this year is ‘5 ways to
wellbeing’. We will be thinking about this throughout next week and encouraging the children to come to school wearing spots or Pudsey bear colours. Rather than asking for the children to bring a small donation into school, Children in Need are encouraging parents to make a donation using this online link:

Poppy display
Mon 09 Nov 2020A huge thank you to Sue Francis for all of her hard work and effort in planning, preparing and displaying the children’s
poppies. Thank you also to the PTA for paying for the resources to ensure that each class could contribute. It is certainly
an eye catching feature at the front of our school and has generated lots of discussion and comments from our neighbours
and from further afield!
