  The joint Friends Scarecrow hunt will be happening on the weekend of the 11th June.  But before we get to this stage, we have to gather together Scarecrows!

  If you would be interested in purchasing a character to create a scarecrow, then please go to your school ParentPay account and purchase a scarecrow.  The friends will then get you to choose a scarecrow of choice, following a theme.

• Living the Values

  Mon 10 May 2021

  Last week the thankfulness award for the children goes to Stanley in Y1 and the whole of Lion Class.

   

  Stanley thanked his teacher for looking after them all, really demonstrating thankfulness.  Well done Stanley! 

   

  Lion Class have been nominated by their Lunchbreak Supervisor, Mrs Smallman, as she said they consistently show thanks at lunchtimes for things like drinks and tomato ketchup which she helps them with.  Well done Lions!

• Music Deep Dive

  Mon 10 May 2021

  Last week we had a mock Ofsted inspection into Music as one of the things that Ofsted will now do is focus on a couple of non-core subjects during an inspection. 

   

  Miss Gould is our Music lead and she and two other teachers were observed teaching music.  Miss Gould also talked to the visiting team about her leadership of music and how her focus is on differentiation and performance. 

   

  The inspectors also chatted to children about what they thought of music in school.  The feedback was superb with particular praise on consistency, behaviour, performance and pastoral support for vulnerable pupils.

   

  Miss Gould and the team who were involved should feel incredibly proud of their efforts as should the children for how they behaved on the day and engaged in lessons.

   

  A massive thanks to the team!

• Mrs Martin’s weekly update:

  Mon 10 May 2021

  Last week has been a busy week where we feel we have crammed 5 days into 4 but has been another brilliant week at CCI. The behaviour has continued to be of a very high standard across the school and I have been so impressed with the quality of writing that I have seen, especially in EYFS. 

   

   I would like to say a very big thank you to Mrs Orr who has been covering the Admin Assistant vacancy as well as doing her own role until Miss Lumbard starts this week.  She has also been working so hard on getting computers back to staff and we are all very grateful to her.

• School Governors

  Tue 04 May 2021

  School Governors play a vital part of our school community and locally schools are always eager to make sure their governing body is full with people with lots of various skills.  If you are interested in hearing more, then check out the Governors for schools website.

  Physically active schools keep children and staff mentally healthy as well as physically.

   

  This term, @schoolgovnet’s campaign #WellbeingGovernors focuses on the connection

  between physical & mental health, and how governors can support with both:

• Free School Meals and Pupil Premium

  Tue 04 May 2021

  We know that lots of families have faced massive changes in home life over the course of the last year.  If you circumstances have changed, then please consider applying for Free School meals*, as children will then become eligible for other funding in school, Pupil Premium.  School can use this money to benefit children, we also use some of the funding for a uniform package. 

  (*This is different funding from the Universal Free School Meals that all Reception-Y2 children can receive)
