• Inspired to live life to the full - Drama Workshops

  Sat 04 Nov 2023 G Jones

  We were so lucky to receive a free day of drama workshops this week at CCI and every class really enjoyed themselves. Perform drama school came in on Thursday and ran free workshops for us and it was just what we needed on another wet day. The smiles speak for themselves!

  Our latest Online Safety Newsletter will be attached with the newsletter this week but I thought I'd also share this on here. Thank you to Miss Essex, our Computing Lead, for producing this great resource.

  

• A Time to Reflect

  Thu 05 Oct 2023 G Jones

  This week some wonderful volunteers from Christ Church came into school to run a Prayer Space for the Y2 children. The activities were designed to encourage the children to think about how they can build healthy friendships and to understand why things like forgiveness and reconciliation are so important in friendships. This is so important for children whether they have a faith or not so all of the children benefitted from the experience. The children were offered the opportunity to reflect about this and say a prayer if they wanted to.

  

• Caring Community - Harvest items for CAP

  Tue 03 Oct 2023 G Jones

  Today Rosie, a volunteer at Christians Against Poverty and a member of Christ Church, and her parrot Rollo came into school to tell us about where the children’s harvest donations will go and who they will help. Thank you so much for your incredibly kind donations - there is still time if you’d like to donate an item for CAP or St. Mungo’s Homeless Charity.

• A caring Community - Link with Kumi School in Uganda

  Wed 27 Sep 2023 A Martin

  Today we had a visit from Jan at Mission Direct to share with us how life is different for school children at Kumi Primary in Uganda.

  We heard how the children often only get one meal per day if they are lucky and that their parents often go without food so that they can eat to be able to focus at school. Often in classes of up to 100 children!

  We would really like to help so are setting up a CCI porridge challenge where we try to raise money to buy as many bowls of porridge as we can.

  We will hold a ‘break the rule day’ at the end of this term and donate all of the funds raised to help but meals for the school children there.

  

• EYFS Teddy Bears Picnic

  Wed 27 Sep 2023 G Jones

  Thank you so much to our wonderful Friends team and staff for hosting such a lovely Teddy Bears Picnic for our new EYFS families to get to know each other. The rain just about held off and it was lovely to see so many families socialising together.

  

• CCI Clubs back with a bang!

  Fri 15 Sep 2023 G Jones

  Our extra curricular clubs have started back with a bang! The children have really enjoyed all of the clubs. The new Tiger martial arts is a big hit and you can see their focus and engagement in these photos. The Children have also had a smashing time at tennis and the Lego club continues to build on its previous success!
