Copdock Weekly Update 17/01/2025
Information to ShareMeals Update - there will be a meeting on next week between Beaumont Primary and their gas gontractor. Hopefully they'll be able to provide an update on the situation and how we can all move forward. As far as we are aware, we will be returning to the usual menu next week. PTA Meeting - the next scheduled PTA meeting is scheduled for 8pm next Thursday at The Brook Inn - why not come along and see how you can get involved in the next event? Mid year reports and shared learning - as we approach half term, teachers will be writing a mid-year report to share updates on your child's progress. These will be sent out electronically straight after half term. This will allow you to read your child's report before joining us for shared learning on Friday 28th February to share books with your child. This will be instead of family assembly at 2.45pm. If you have more than one child, please feel free to join us from 2.30 to allow enough time for you to chat to your children. Star of the Week - don't forget if you receive a notification via the website that your child is 'Star of the Week', they will be being presented with a certificate in our family sharing assembly. Please do not tell them, they are unlikely to be aware. The notification is to give you the opportunity to see them received their certificate if you are able. Governor Visit Day - we have an exciting day planned in a couple of weeks when our governors will have the opportunity to spend some time in the classroom and get a taste of what goes on during the school day. Seed Sale - we have been kindly donated a large bundle of seeds - some flowers and some vegetables. As this is the spring term, why not think about growing your own! Seeds will be available for sale next week on the playground at the end of the day. They are past their sow by date hence being offered at a discounted rate of 50p per pack. Cash only please. Funds raised will go towards getting our allotment area working again. As it's been a very slow news week, it's a good opportunity to remind you to keep an eye on the Local Club & Events secion of the website where we share information from 3rd parties rather than sending them directly to you during the week. These are updated on a weekly basis. It can include information about travel disruptions, holiday clubs, parent courses, useful information, even opportunities and competitions. There has been lots going on behind the scenes in school in recent months as we prepare to migrate to some new systems. As previously advised, we will be moving to a new management information system. This was meant to happen before Christmas, however, has been postponed until Easter. At that point we are hopeful that parents will be able to access the system themselves to keep their records up to date. Until such time, please let us know if you have a change in phone number (especially if no longer using a landline), email, address, doctor etc. It is important that our data is up to date. This week we have been moving over to a new Finance package and hope to be fully functional on that in the next couple of weeks. |

REMINDERS!!!! Please ensure your child has a named coat or waterproof in school for break times - we do like to get outside even if it's a bit drizzly.
Those Woodpeckers who are swimming need their kits on Mondays
Foxes need to remember clarinets for their lessons on Tuesdays
Reception children need to wear Forest Schools clothing on Fridays
Earrings must be removed for PE lessons
Please ensure anything brought into school is labelled. Look out for lost property on the lunchbox trolley each evening.

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful! Kittens: enough & fast Squirrels: Inuksuk & smooth Woodpeckers: associate & multipurpose Foxes: democracy & deteriorated Our Value this half term is 'Perseverence' If you would like to explore this theme at home, see our family leaflet here. |
