School Clubs Spring 2020

By Mrs L Rae8th January 2020

SCHOOL CLUBS – SPRING TERM 2020

***Online booking via SIMS Pay opens Thursday 9th January 2020***

We’re pleased to advise that we’ve teamed up with EPIC Academy who will provide us with highly trained and skilled sports coaches to deliver lots of before and after school clubs for us!

Please note that there has been a price increase across the majority of clubs due to us having to buy in expert coaches, resources and materials. The cost is still excellent value for money; each club is no more than £2.50 per week per child.

We feel it is very important for children to take part in at least one club; please take a look at what is available and book their place online via SIMS Pay. The clubs will be available to book from Thursday 9th January 2020.

Please note we can only accept online payments and once the clubs are full, they will no longer be visible on SIMS Pay. Should you be able to book and pay for a place on SIMS Pay, please consider your child’s place confirmed. If the club you are trying to book is not showing when you log in, it will be because it is fully booked.

Please bear in mind that by signing up to a club your child is making a commitment and they should only sign up if they are prepared to meet the expectation that they attend regularly. Children who have demonstrated commitment (very regular attendance) to a club already, will have priority to join clubs that are over-subscribed.

Once again this term, our staff have been very generous in offering to run extra-curricular activities, which is above and beyond their contractual duties.  We’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you and express our appreciation of them for this.  We believe that our children are very lucky to have these clubs available to them, and consider them to be excellent value for money.

If you have any issues with SIMS Pay, please contact Mrs Rae, the School Business Manager  – [email protected]

 Best wishes

Welcome back!

By Mrs S JILKS6th January 2020

Welcome back, we hope that you had a relaxing, enjoyable time with your families. We are looking forward to the exciting term ahead.

Unfortunately Reception have been a victim of the bad weather. Our outdoor storage shed has sprung a leak!  This has meant that lots of our equipment has had to be thrown away due to damp and mould.  We would therefore welcome any scooters, balance bikes, balls, rugs or outdoor equipment that you no longer use.  If you have anything that you could donate please pop them into the Reception office, who will pass them onto us.  We would really be grateful of any equipment, thank you.

Farewell Mr Youson and Mrs Senyk!

By Mrs J Hartwell20th December 2019

Today has been a very, very sad – there have been lots of tears as we finally reached the day on which we had to say goodbye to Mr Youson and Mrs Senyk!

We held two very emotional assemblies in which the children sang some beautiful bespoke songs and they were presented with their farewell gifts. We wish them both the very best of luck on their new adventures and hope that one day they will pop back in and say hello! We will miss them both so much. We’re blessed to have had such a good HLTA in Mrs Senyk and Mr Youson has been a true role model and inspiration for so many of our children.

Go well, go safely – may God bless you both.

 

 

Festive Fun!

By Mrs S JILKS19th December 2019

This week we have been having lots of Christmas fun. We enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch with party hats and crackers.

On Thursday we had a live link up with Father Christmas, who read us ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’. We sang a song with him and he told us all about Rudolph.

We have also been finding out about the true meaning of Christmas; acting out the Christmas story and enjoying a lovely Carol Service.

 

On Friday we are meeting Father Christmas for breakfast!  We will be sharing hot chocolate and cookies.  Thank you to the PTA for arranging this.  We are having our Christmas party in the afternoon and children can wear party clothes.

Finally, a big thank you for the very generous gifts, both Christmas and leaving presents. We will miss Mrs Senyk and wish her well in her new adventure.  We are all very grateful and would like to wish you and your families a very happy, holy Christmas.  We have enjoyed  getting to know your children and are looking forward to the year ahead.

Star performers!

By Mrs S JILKS15th December 2019

The children were fantastic in their performance of A Noisy Nativity.  They sang beautifully and spoke their lines loudly and clearly.  In class we acted out the Nativity for our RE lesson.      We had a much awaited visit from Santa’s Elves who brought us a reply to our letters to Santa. 

The children have been practicing fine motor skills on large paper.  They really enjoyed the experience, some of them working alone, others sharing the work.

On Wednesday evening we will be at the church for our Carol Service.  Please join us if you can; it is a lovely evening.  On Friday we will be having breakfast with Santa and our Class Christmas party.  Please note we will be wearing party clothes, not pajamas like the rest of the school.

Christmas Jumper Days

By Mrs L Rae10th December 2019

Children may come to school wearing Christmas attire (jumpers, dresses, Santa hats, headbands etc) on the following days:

Friday 13th December – voluntary donations gratefully received for Cash 4 Kids (Free Radio Coventry & Warwickshire), a wonderful charity who ensure disadvantaged children have something to open on Christmas day.

Wednesday 18th December – no donation required; it’s our Christmas lunch!

 

Nativity Play Tickets

By Mrs L Rae9th December 2019
Thank you for taking the time to reserve tickets online and via the office. This has been extremely helpful for us as it means we can ensure there are enough seats and that the hall if not overcrowded.
In order to save the cost of printing and staff time, we have decided against issuing physical tickets. Should you have reserved tickets via SIMS Pay or by completing the paper form, please consider your seats confirmed and wait outside the hall shortly before the performance is due to start.
Please note that the amount of seating we will make available will be based on how many tickets have been reserved so please do not bring additional spectators with you on the day.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you over the next two days!

Waiting for Christmas!

By Mrs S JILKS8th December 2019

 

The children were really exited to visit the theatre to watch Father Christmas.  They were well behaved and enjoyed the show.

     

We have been practising making words and completing number lines.  The children were very pleased with themselves and couldn’t wait to show us what they had made.  We also wrote our letters to Father Christmas and are hoping for a reply next week.

In RE we remembered the true meaning of Christmas and wrote a prayer to help us prepare for Jesus to arrive.

We are looking forward to performing our Nativity play for you on Tuesday and Wednesday, please make sure that you have ordered your tickets so that you are not disappointed.
