• Inspired to live life to the full: Exploring the outdoors on our new bikes

  Mon 19 Feb 2024 G Jones

  We really enjoyed trying out the new bikes today which were bought by the Friends after lots more brilliant fundraising. We are also really enjoying the new picnic benches that were also bought by the Friends earlier this year.

  And it was finally sunny so we could get outside and enjoy our outdoor spaces a bit more.

  

• Courageously learning: Infant agility

  Tue 06 Feb 2024 A Martin

  Some of our wonderful Y5 children came back to CCI on Monday to help our Y1/2 children with their infant agility training. It was so humbling to see the levels of care, support and encouragement that they showed our children and as a result they all thrived and grew in confidence. What wonderful young leaders!

  

• Caring community: Brick Show 2024!

  Sat 03 Feb 2024 A Martin

  What an amazing Brick Show 2024! We really hope you enjoyed it if you came along and if you didn’t, here are a few pictures.

  Our stunning Lego Logo was revealed and we’d like to thank CCJ pupils and lots of families who helped to complete this after our hard work at school.

  Lego Luke and his many helpers/friends and family members made today super special for us all at CCI and the wider community so big thanks go to all of them but especially Luke.

  We hope to have raised lots of funds for the school - final amount to be shared soon once Luke had had a well deserved day off.

  

• Courageously learning: Collaborate Lego art project

  Thu 25 Jan 2024 G Jones

  We had the most amazing day building our Lego Logo thanks to the wonderful Luke and his team. The children worked so hard and were so delighted to see it coming together. We didn’t quite finish and I imagine Luke will have a busy weekend ahead of him but please do come along to see the finished result at the Brick show 3.2.24

  Luke you are our Lego hero and we are so lucky to have you! Thank you to you and your brilliant volunteers and to our children for perservering and working so hard!

  

• Caring community: A visit from Helen from the Dog's Trust.

  Tue 23 Jan 2024 G Jones

  On Monday, Helen from Dog’s Trust visited CCI to teach the children about being Dog Smart. We learnt what to do if a dog runs towards us and we are standing up (fold arms over chest and turn away from the dog, standing still) and if knocked to the floor (roll up like a hedgehog).

  Helen also taught the children what to do if they want to stroke a dog - ask the owner who will also check with the dog and then if allowed, gently stroke the dog’s shoulders and back not the face. 

  

• Courageously learning: Fact files about Kumi Primary School in Uganda

  Wed 17 Jan 2024 G Jones

  Look at these amazing fact files that Zebra Class have created about Kumi Primary School in Uganda as part of their enquiry ‘How are schools the same?’.

  We were so impressed to see them being purposeful authors and plan to send these to the children at Kumi Primary along with some letters that the children are writing.

  

• Inspired to live life to the full: Arctic Landscapes.

  Thu 11 Jan 2024 A Martin

  Giraffe Class worked so hard as artists this afternoon on their Arctic landscapes inspired by the Northern Lights.

  They thought carefully about warm and cold colours and practised colour mixing and colour washes to create these beautiful scenes. They then carefully cut out silhouettes for the mountains and trees. Super creative work inspired by our beautiful world!

  

• Inspired to live life to the full: Art Club

  Fri 05 Jan 2024 G Jones

  Our wonderful new art club started after school lead by Faye, one of our very talented parents. The children loved the sessions which will be running throughout This term.

   

  

• Inspired to live life to the full - Rock Steady Concert

  Thu 14 Dec 2023 G Jones

  Today we had the absolute pleasure of watching some of our Y1 and 2 children performing with their Rocksteady rock groups. You may see on some faces what looks like boredom on their faces but I can assure you they were just totally focused on their roles and nothing was going to distract them!

  What a wonderful opportunity for our children and huge thanks to Ali for teaching them so brilliantly and Miss Gould for organising the event

  

• Inspired to live life to the full - KS1 Theatre Trip

  Fri 08 Dec 2023 A Martin

  The Y2s had an amazing time at the Old Vic theatre, watching the stunning production of the Four Seasons. One little girl told me that she was so excited because she’d never been to theatre before and after the show she’s told me that when she is older she wants to perform there.

  That is exactly why things like theatre trips are so important and we are so grateful to the Friends for funding a truly magical experience and to Mrs Rylands for organising it.
