VIP Reader

16th September 2023Mrs J Hartwell

Year 6 welcomed another ‘VIP Reader‘ into our classroom this week… Roisin McCourt from Free Radio and it is fair to say the children (and adults!) LOVED it!

Roisin chose to read us her children’s favourite book, ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’, talked to us about her role on the radio, shared some of this week’s favourite moments and answered the (1,000,001) questions we threw her way.

Thank you, Roisin!

International Literacy Day 2023

8th September 2023Mrs J Hartwell

Today we celebrated International Literacy Day to highlight the importance of literacy and raise awareness for education as a human right.

We took a moment to consider how grateful we are to have our wonderful school and teachers to help us to learn to read and write before taking our class book outside and reading together on the field to share this wonderful gift together.

Year One have had a fantastic day at Coombe Abbey!

We learnt all about our local environment, went on a mini-beast hunt, created our own art using our surroundings, spent some time cloud watching and finally, played with our friends in the park.

What a busy day!

UNESCO ‘One Cup’ Ceramics Project

28th April 2023Mrs J Hartwell

Year 5 were lucky enough to take part in UNESCO’s ‘One Cup’ Ceramics Project 2023.

We visited a workshop at Finham Park 2 this afternoon where we learnt all about the Sustainable Development Goals and the ancient traditions of the Japanese tea ceremony in which one tea bowl is shared by all participants. This image will be used at the conference in Tokyo in September to discuss peace making initiatives based on the idea that the world has ‘one cup’ of natural resources that must be shared equably and sustainably between nations.

During the workshop we were able to each make our own ceramic bowl! These will then be heated in an Anagama kiln in Oxford before travelling to Tokyo and Paris and finally returning home to Coventry for an exhibition in January 2024.

We are so excited to see our finished pieces on display!
