• Year 6 Visit London

  Thu 20 Oct 2016
  Last Friday, Year 6 visited London as part of their theme topic ‘Crime and Punishment.’ The class had a fascinating guided tour around The Houses of Parliament which meant the children could see inside the chambers of The House of Lords and The House of Commons. Children also learned lots about the traditions and history of Parliament. In the afternoon children visited Tower of London where they saw the crown jewels and lots of historic artefacts such as Henry VIII’s armour.

  Early Bird Week Beginning 10th October 2016

  Next week we will be running our Early Bird week. Each child who arrives in school before 8.55 am will be given a sticker to put on their chart. At the end of the week the charts will be put into a prize draw. This half term we have got some extra awards during Early Bird week. There will be a daily draw for all children who arrive on time and a spot prize will be given to the child that is drawn daily. There will be a class award for the class with the highest attendance and no lates.
  If there is a class that has a 100% attendance and no lates next week they will receive a special class treat Friday afternoon.
  Please support your children next ensuring they are in everyday and on time.

• Brighten Up This Harvest

  Wed 12 Oct 2016

  Thank you so much to everyone who supported our campaign to ‘Brighten Up this Harvest’ and came into school in bright clothes yesterday. We managed to raise £103 in addition to some donations for the Foodbank. This will make a real difference to communities around the world, helping them to feed their families and make a living. During this Year of Mercy, Pope Francis asked us to rediscover the corporal works of mercy, one of which is to feed the hungry. That is why as a school we really wanted to support the work of CAFOD and ‘Brighten Up this Harvest’ to help build a brighter world. Well done everyone!

   

  

• Roald Dahl Centenary Celebration

  Thu 06 Oct 2016
  To celebrate 100 years of Roald Dahl we had a special centenary week starting on Monday 26th September. Each class studied a different Roald Dahl book and took part in many exciting lessons all linked to their book.  

  Year One’s classroom was  visited by the BFG and the children were so excited to read the notes that the giant left for them and to look after his ‘dream jars’. They were measuring the giant’s footprints, creating dream catchers and making dream jars of their own, filling them with happy thoughts in addition to holding a BFG themed party! Other activities across the school have included making up tricks to play on Mr or Mrs Twit, investigating some crime scenes from ‘Revolting Rhymes’, learning songs from Matilda the Musical, designing chocolate bars for Willy Wonka, writing and making magic potions  and Y5/6 visited Central Library for some Roald Dahl workshops. On Friday we had a fabulous ‘Dahl Dress-Up Day’ with some brilliant costumes and characters on parade. Thank you to all the staff for planning such great lessons and activities bringing Roald Dahl’s books and characters to life.  Check out lots of photos on Twitter and also the Coventry Telegraph have been in touch and will be doing a piece all about our special week soon.
