Miss McNamara's Message

We have had a fabulous week in school and we are very much looking forward to our PTFA Halloween disco this evening! A big thank you, ahead of the event, to everyone who has supported the organisation and to Mrs Haddington who decorated the hall and entrance at 6:30am this morning! 

The individual and sibling photographs were taken this week and we were so lucky with weather this time! We will send out the information needed to access the galleries shortly and you will receive information about how to order.

This week, Oak and Beech had a wonderful story telling workshop in the hall and the children re-created their own scenes using props. We also hosted an air-fryer workshop with the group learning how to use an air-fryer make flat breads and crispy chick-peas

We are pleased to share that we are very near our funding goal for our outdoor canopy. This will be an amazing space for a variety of opportunities in school, including our Forest School sessions, outdoor workshops, taking lessons outside, drama productions and much more. We just need to figure out how to get a 3-tonne digger onto our grounds! You can see what it will look like here: Coppice Valley Primary School - Red Kite Learning Trust - Coppice Valley Community Projects. If you would like to support this project, please get in touch with the school office.
