• Scarecrow Trail

  Mon 21 Jun 2021

  We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Jodie Godfrey and her many helpers for organising such a brilliant scarecrow trail for the whole community last weekend.  Thank you to everyone for making such super scarecrows and to the hundreds of you who bought the maps and did the trail in such hot weather.  I’d also like to thank Jackie Poole, who raised £50 in donations for her cacti plants. We are such a well-supported school and feel very privileged to be part of such a wonderful community.

• CCI sporting superstar stories

  Mon 21 Jun 2021

  Thank you so much to all of the people who have sent me in photos of their children being courageous in sport outside of school and for sharing such success and inspirational stories. 

   

   I have learnt so much about our children and have shared this with the whole school on a display in the hall.  I will also be sharing these stories in an assembly soon.

• Sports week w/c 21st June

  Mon 21 Jun 2021

  Just a reminder that this week in school is sports week!

   

  We have an action packed week planned for the children (we are praying for dry weather!) so please can children come dressed in sports kit every day – this doesn’t need to be school PE uniform. We realise it is too much to wash and dry their school sports clothes every night so something comfortable that the children can run around in and trainers would be great!

   

  Tuesday is sports day however, so coloured tops on this day please. (Unfortunately no parents invited in this year).  Children will also need a water bottle, sun hat and sun cream applied before school please if it is hot. 

   

  We are kicking off the week with a visit from 3 Bristol Rovers’ coaches and some rugby training from ex-professional rugby player and current Head Coach for Rosslyn Park - Jonathan Mills on Monday.  We also have a Tokyo Olympics day amongst other things and plenty more sporting visitors throughout the week. 

   

  Huge thanks to Mrs Botteley for planning such an inspiring week and we really hope the children will have lots of fun and be inspired to try something new! 

• Change to Y2 Leavers’ production

  Mon 21 Jun 2021

  Due to reviewed guidance that has been sent to schools this week we will unfortunately no longer be able to invite Y2 family members to watch the Leavers’ production in the Church.  We are so disappointed but have to prioritise everyone’s safety and ensure we are water tight in our risk assessment.  Instead we would like to invite one adult per child to the field to see the children receive their leavers’ bears and to hear staff something about each child’s journey at CCI.

   

  Guidance now says that we can have up to 30 people outside at leavers events but not inside, hence the change.  We will still film the productions for you and are so sorry to have to make this necessary change;

   

  Mon 12th July at 2.15pm Penguin Leavers’ bears on field

   

  Thu 15th July at 2.15pm Zebra Leavers’ bears on field

   

  Fri 16th July at 2.15pm Cheetah Leavers’ bears on field

• New Symptoms

  Mon 21 Jun 2021

  The COVID symptoms we all need to be aware of have also been added to as the Delta variant seems to have the following symptoms so please also be mindful of these;

  • Headache
  • Sore throat
  • Runny nose

  With hay fever being so severe at the moment this is very difficult to identify so if in doubt keep children off school and book a test for peace of mind.  The other symptoms of a high temperature, persistent cough and loss of sense of taste or smell will still be relevant.

• Mrs Martin’s weekly update

  Mon 14 Jun 2021

  It has been wonderful to welcome the children back to school this week to a really exciting topic and in fantastic weather. The Sporting Superstars launch day was fantastic and the children in EYFS loved competing in lots of different races and relays and hearing about which sporting stars their staff respect and admire. 

   

  In KS1 it became a highly competitive affair where each class tried to beat the 3 teacher challenges that had been set by Mrs Rylands, Miss Gould and Mr Jones.  They all looked exhausted (the staff especially!!!) but very, very happy by the end of the first day back.  I’d like to say thank you to you all for remembering the sports clothes on the first day back and to the staff for making this such a fun return for the children.
