• Leukemia UK- Litter pick

  Mon 24 May 2021

  Lyla in Tiger class and her little sister Rosie are spending the month of May raising funds for Leukemia UK in memory of their Mum’s brother’s friend. They will be taking part in a 100 hours of litter picking all across Bristol and the surrounding area.

   

  We made a huge start this weekend but any support would be gratefully received.

• Big Well Done!

  Mon 24 May 2021

  We are delighted to share with you that Mrs Rylands has achieved the NPQSL (National Qualification for Senior Leaders) award.  This is thoroughly deserved after all her hard work and she has really had an impact on reading in the school as the focus part of her assessment.

   

  Congratulations Mrs Rylands!

• Half Term Support

  Mon 24 May 2021

  If your child receives benefits-related free school meals, your school will issue a £15 supermarket e-voucher for May/June half term.  This has already been sent out to families.

   

   This is a new Covid Local Support Grant offer to families. If you have any questions about free school meals in term-time or during holidays, please contact your child’s school. You can find more details of further financial support available here-Click Here

• A Big Goodbye to Mrs Orr

  Mon 24 May 2021

  It seems far too soon to be telling you this as it won’t happen until July but unfortunately we will be saying goodbye to Mrs Jackie Orr, our fantastic School Business Manager, at the end of the academic year.  Mrs Orr has been appointed as Senior Finance Lead Officer for the Academies Enterprise Trust, a group of 58 schools.  This is a huge promotion and a very well deserved reward for all her hard work at CCI.  Jackie has been by my side in the office for the past 5 years, as Clerk to Governors since 2013 and I shall miss her terribly on a personal and professional level.  She has been instrumental in making sure that our limited school budget has balanced each year, managing our school refurb a few years ago, helping us get through the ransomware attack and helped us navigate the minefield that COVID has brought. 

   

  We will be advertising this post on Eteach very soon so please share it when you see it on our Facebook page and get in touch if you are interested in this post and wish to discuss this with me. 

• Swimming changes- this week!

  Mon 24 May 2021

  From the last week of term (24th May onwards) swimming will need to move to the mornings for all classes due to our student teachers leaving.  The days will remain the same but if you are a helper please speak to your teachers about new times and see if you can still help. 

   

  We really appreciate you all coming in each week and the children are loving swimming so thank you for your continued support.

• Exciting Science Experiment

  Mon 24 May 2021

  Children have the challenge, over half term, to think of a scientific question they could investigate.  It can literally be anything.  They carry out an investigation to find the answer to their question and then create a short 1 minute film clip to present.  Each school judges the entries and then the winner from each school goes through to the final.  We are gathering together potential prizes too... as well as the acclaim that Mark Carwardine has seen you present a science enquiry!  

   

  See a bigger version of the poster attached to this week’s newsletter!

• NSPCC Non-Uniform 28.5.21

  Mon 24 May 2021

  Our non-uniform will be a fundraiser for the NSPCC, they have provided us with some fabulous resources so it is great to be able to support the charity.  It would be great if all children could donate a £1 and we can raise funds for the charity.
