Dear Parents / Carers,

 

Dougie Mac Coffee & Cake morning

We are so pleased to be hosting a coffee and cake morning to raise funds for our much loved local hospice, The Dougie Mac. This will be taking place on Friday 6th October, 9 am to 10 am in our school hall. To make this a great fundraiser, we will be after your fabulous baked goods (or bought if you would rather not chance it!) Anything will be massively appreciated. Please come along if you can and enjoy a coffee and cake with us and let's raise lots of money for the Dougie Mac!  If you’re unable to come along, please send your child in with some money so that they can buy a cake.

 

All cake donations to be sent on either Thursday or first thing on Friday morning . We look forward to seeing you there.

 

Forest Schools

Next week on Wednesday and Thursday, your child will need to have their wellies and waterproofs with them.  All of the children will be having some time in the woodland area regardless of the weather.  A Forest School Teacher will be coming in to teach the children a variety of skills.

 

School Council

On Tuesday, we had our first meeting of the year.  We spoke about their roles in the school and we spoke about having a special focus to support friends too. 

The children decided that they will focus on the following:

Wellbeing, safety and caring for staff.

The children came up with many ideas of how they can support other children in the school, from being trained (at an age appropriate level) to actions they can do everyday or when needed.  

We will share more with you as these roles develop.  But in the meantime, well done to Ayva, Isla, Francesca, Georgia, Skyla, Freddie, Sienna, Oscar, Libby, Roman, Teddy and Lani for being voted in for this year’s school council members.

 

Team Points

All of our children are put into a team from when they start school.  They can earn team points by a variety of different ways including following our STAR values (safe, trust & teamwork, achieve, resilience) and the Co-op Ways of Being (do what matters most, succeed together, be yourself always, show you care).  

Each Friday, the team captains collect the team points and then we share these in celebration assembly.  The winning team, by the end of the term (not half term), get a team treat.

On Monday, all of the children met in their teams to discuss how they can be the best and win this term’s team treat.  Lots of healthy competitive discussions and ideas were discussed, which was great. 

 

Yr 6 orienteering

Yesterday, some of Year 6 went to Co-op Academy Stoke to take part in an orienteering activity along with some Year 6 children from Co-op Academy Clarice Cliff and Co-op Academy Glebe. The children had a fabulous time and came back with lots of medals! Well done year 6.
