Tree of Hope
Come and tie a ribbon on our Tree of Hope in memory of a loved one or as a simple prayer. We have renamed the yew tree in the churchyard at Christ Church Downend a Tree of Hope, as it symbolises that hope goes on even in hard times. From 20th March until Easter. White ribbons will be available.
We will be hosting the infant agility sessions again this year for our Year 1 & 2 children. They will take place over 2 days on 24 & 25th March. Can you please make sure that your child wears their PE kit on the relevant day?
Weds 24th- Crocodiles, Zebras & Cheetah
Thurs 25th- Giraffes & Penguins
We are looking for windows or gardens in the local Downend area to make an Easter themed display which can be part of our trail which will be held 1st-18th April. However simple or creative we would love you to be involved!! There will be a prize for the best display and those taking part in the trail will be entered into a prize draw to win an Easter Hamper, if they collect the letters along the trail to find the title of a famous children's book.
Please get in touch by 12th March if you would like to take part by decorating your window or garden! (Email ccieastertrail@gmail.com)
Look out for further information to share with family and friends on our Facebook page!
Don’t worry! The transfer paperwork comes out after Easter. All children are guaranteed a place at CCJ.
The parent/teacher meetings will be happening on 29th, 30th (only Cheetah), 31th (all classes except Cheetah) of March. Booking for these will go live on Friday 12th March at 4pm. You will be sent a notification when this happens
Next Friday is Red Nose Day and to try and raise funds for Comic Relief we’d like the children to wear their own clothes to school and hopefully make a suggested donation of £1. Children can wear something red and red noses if they’d like to. Basically anything goes but we want to make it stress free for you and the children so soon after returning to school. If you wish to, you can make your donation via Parent Pay, using the ‘Red Nose Day Donations’ payment item.

We know from our own children, this last lockdown will have seen a little bit of a growth spurt! If your school shoes are not fitting, then please don’t worry about replacing them now, as we know shops are not open for them, any sort of sensible shoe will do!
If you are struggling to find uniform we do have some here at school that we have been planning to set up a pre loved sale shop, obviously Covid has put pay to this for the moment but if anyone is desperate for anything we can check our supplies and see if we can help you out. Please call the office.
