• Remembering Queen Elizabeth 2nd

  Fri 09 Sep 2022 Mr Jones

  Following the very sad news about the death of Queen Elizabeth 2nd , Mrs Martin led a special assembly for the Y1 and 2 children this morning to celebrate her life and long service to the country. The Reception classes don’t yet come into assemblies, but their teachers will talk to them about it if they ask any questions or mention it.

  

• New Library

  Fri 09 Sep 2022 Mrs Martin

  We are still waiting for our new library furniture and books but it has been fantastic to see our Y1 and Y2 children enjoying the new library this week. They so enjoyed choosing different types of books and were literally pouring over them, completely absorbed when I popped in.

  Here are some of Crocodile class spending their ‘Active Reading’ session in the library.

  Each class will have a planned visit at least once a week and once it is furnished properly we plan to open it up to families to use and borrow books from.

  

• Welcome back - Fun in the playground!

  Mon 05 Sep 2022 Mr Jones

  The children LOVED using the new playground markings at break time today (before the rain came!) and had such a brilliant time exploring it all with their friends. It really has given their playtimes a boost and we are very grateful to our wonderful Friends team.

  

• A fantastic Year 2 Leavers Performance

  Thu 14 Jul 2022 Mr Jones

  Our amazing Y2s put on a superb performance of the Lion Cub for parents and carers. Below is the picture of them celebrating the end of of their performance with their leavers bears! What a way to end their 3 years with us at CCI… They showed courage and respect to each other today and made all of the staff so very proud. You are ready for the next chapter now Y2s, embrace every challenge that comes your way. CCJ is one lucky school to be getting you all.

  

• EYFS Challenge - 'Where does food come from?' picnic

  Thu 07 Jul 2022 Mrs Martin

  It was wonderful to see so many of our EYFS families come along to support the challenge at the end of our children’s enquiry ‘where does our food come from?’ this afternoon.

  The children have been busy learning about different food types and where it all comes from and they wanted to work towards making pizzas and fruit salad for a giant picnic. Thank you so much to the staff for making their learning so purposeful and to our families for giving up their free time.

  

• The Blood Hound STEM Day

  Tue 05 Jul 2022 Mr Jones

  Y1 and 2 children are LOVING their Bloodhound project day! They were inspired by the talk in the morning about the Blood Hound vehicle Land Speed Record and then worked in teams to design and build the fastest, jet powered, vehicle that they could. The children tested their vehicles on the track and then evaluated them in order to make them even better!  A great ‘STEM’ day for our budding engineers!

  

• Year 2 Mad Olympiad

  Mon 04 Jul 2022 Mr Jones

  We are all so proud of our amazing Y2s! Their behaviour, teamwork, courage and compassion for each other was absolutely outstanding!

  As we paraded around the track our chants were the loudest and our smiles the biggest.

  There were several children who overcame their nerves to compete and they ended up doing so with big smiles on their faces. This is something they won’t forget.

  When things went wrong, they picked themselves up and carried on with determination and showed such resilience. Not everyone could do that and we saw other teams doing the opposite.

  It is hard when not everyone wins but all of the children will get a medal as soon as we receive them for being incredible athletes and the trophy for everyone stands proudly in our entrance.

  Well done to Puma relay team who won the final and to the whole team for scoring the most points overall and being 2022 champions

  

• Sports Week 2022

  Mon 04 Jul 2022 Mr Jones

  We kicked off National Sports Week 2022 today with some cheerleading and rugby workshops! Huge thanks to Jonathan Mills, Daisy's dad, for leading the rugby sessions. The company who ran the cheerleading sessions for us will be running an after school club at some point so if your child enjoyed it, look out for these!

  

• Blooming marvellous - Downend in Bloom at CCI

  Fri 17 Jun 2022 Mr Jones

  Downend in Bloom very kindly came into school this week to help some of our children to fill the beautiful planters that the volunteer group have donated. Mrs Dickinson then took some of the children to the high street to help the Downend in Bloom team to plant some new plants in the planters there. We feel so proud to have been involved in such a great community project, taking responsibility for the local environment and showing respect to the people and animals who use it. Huge thanks to these wonderful volunteers who taught our children so much and to Mrs Dickinson for organising this.

  

• CCI Choir - Sing to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee in Page Park

  Tue 07 Jun 2022 Mrs Martin

  Wow, wow, wow!!!!! Our Team CCI Choir were absolutely incredible at Page Park today and I hope they feel so proud of themselves for performing so well to such a large crowd.

  Huge thanks to Miss Gould for giving up her Saturday to join her choir at this event, the staff who came along to support and the hundreds of family members and friends who came to support them. Mr Gould also deserves a shout out for ironing the new t-shirts!
