• 5 fun-filled days

  Mon 14 Jun 2021

  We have 5 fun-filled days packed with activities including rugby, football, cricket and swimming plus our annual sports day on the field and the Year 2 MAD Olympiad to be held at Pomphrey Hill.

   

  At some point in Term 6 we will also be hosting a sponsored triathlon for all children to participate in to help raise funds for our playground development.  

   

  Lots of the sports coaches who are coming into school are generously giving up their time for free, but some we do have to pay for. We are therefore asking for a £5 donation per child towards the weeks’ activities payable via ParentPay.

   

  We hope you will support us in making this the best sports week yet and giving the children some much needed fun after such a restricted year of the children missing out on so many clubs and sporting experiences.

• Reminder about Sports Day

  Mon 14 Jun 2021

  A couple of parents have asked if parents can come to watch sports day this year but I’m afraid that we will just be holding this event for children and staff this year.  Most local schools are doing the same and it is so that we do not have large groups of parents together around staff and children with still so much uncertainty with new variants.  It is so important to us that staff are protected and with hundreds of parents attending sports day it feels as though we would be compromising their safety unnecessarily.

• Perform Workshop

  Mon 14 Jun 2021

  We were very pleased to receive a visit from Perform a few weeks ago. The children had a wonderfully energetic time exploring the theme of ‘Under the Sea’ and using drama, dance and singing to help develop their confidence, concentration and social skills. Perform run regular weekly classes in the local area and they are offering a special introductory discount to all parents of Christ Church Infant School if they come along for a free trial session before Thursday 17th June - i.e. just over one week's time.

  To claim your discount, just call Perform on 020 7255 9120 quoting CCHF170621 or visit perform.org.uk to find out more.

• Christian Value of the term – RESPECT

  Mon 14 Jun 2021

  This term our Christian Value is Respect. We link this to the Bible story of Ruth and Naomi.  This term we will be encouraging the children to think about why self-respect is important, who the children respect and why they deserve that respect, how it makes people feel when you don’t show respect and what are the different ways we can show respect.  We will be drawing on lots of real life examples and stories from the bible and other faiths and sources to help the children to understand this.

• 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.

• Mrs Poole retiring.

  Mon 14 Jun 2021

  Mrs Poole, who works as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant in Giraffe Class, will also be retiring at the end of this academic year as she turned 60 last September.  After 21 wonderful years at CCI she has decided to step back from her role as a HLTA and will be enjoying lots of travelling, gardening and cooking.  More on Mrs Poole at the end of the year but for now let’s enjoy our last term with her.
