Quad Kids

There are 2 Quad kids events next week, U11 on Tuesday and U9 on Wednesday - please read the email for details.  Parents are welcome to attend.  Please can all parents advise the office if you are attending and taking your child home from the event or will collect from Copdock Primary school. We do need this information today please.

Suffolk One Trip

Year 2 will be visiting Suffolk One for a Skills Escalator Day on Monday.  As per the email sent earlier this week, they will need a packed lunch and refillable water bottle and to be wearing uniform on Monday.  Please ensure they arrive at 8:25am.

Mersea Island

KS1 Children from both schools are on their trip to Mersea Island on Tuesday.  As per the letter sent last month, children should arrive at school at normal time and we anticipate them returning for collection at normal time also.  Children need appropriate footwear, they can wear non-uniform but it needs to be appropriate to the weather conditions.  Please ensure they arrive with packed lunch and plenty to drink in a small rucksack that they are able to carry.

There will be an opportunity for children to paddle whilst on the beach at Mersea under close adult supervision. Any children wishing to paddle will need to bring spare shoes/water shoes, that they are happy to wear in the sea, and a small towel to dry their feet. These need to be in the children's bags. 

Induction

It is the final induction morning for our September starters. We are inviting them to stay to lunch this week and join in lunch play.  We will send you the menu for Friday so you can let us know their lunch choice. They can bring a packed lunch if they prefer.
