Head Teacher’s Award – Friday 6th November

Well done to this week’s super stars…

Dexter in 1KB continues to show that he works with enthusiasm and determination at all times!

Scarlett in 1KM is a role model to the class and has been a super friend to many, including to our new starter!

Ocean in 1DG always works hard and this week contributed some lovely, very thoughtful ideas in PSHE.

Readingwise

Remember to take a look at ‘Readingwise’ during Half term if you get the chance. Practise those skills! Everyone should now have their own log in details in their reading diaries. Once you’ve mastered Phase 2 we will then be able to move you on.

Year One PE Days

A letter went out today to let you know that Year One’s PE days for this Half Term will be on Thursdays and Fridays.

On these days your child will come into school wearing their PE uniform and stay in it for the day. Their sessions are likely to be outdoors and due to the weather becoming cooler, your child will need to wear the appropriate PE uniform; white t-shirt, black joggers, trainers and a black hoodie or sweatshirt.

Thanks for your support

PE at Coundon… a few changes!

From September and in line with Government Guidance, we will be getting outside a lot more (in all sorts of weather conditions), this will include our PE lessons.

We will be asking the children to come into school on their PE days IN THEIR PE UNIFORM. (They will find out their PE days during the first week back). They will then stay in this for the day, so a change of clothes will not be needed in school. The main reason for this change is for safety reasons; it has been advised that we reduce the amount of belongings that are coming to and from each home and onto the school site.

For the older children, this change also comes about as there will be reduced space for them to change separately (boys and girls) due to them being in their class bubbles.

To make sure that the children are suitably dressed once the cooler weather sets in, we would like the children to have black jogging bottoms, a black hoody or sweatshirt and suitable outdoor footwear to wear alongside their usual white t-shirt and black shorts.

We thank you for your support with this.

Miss Kelly Perrett and Mrs Victoria Gray
