Miss McNamara's Message
It has been another fabulous week of learning at Coppice Valley. This week's highlight has been our trip to the pantomime. Our children and staff had an absolutely brilliant time - they sang along to the songs, belly-laughed and Mr Whaite was selected for some audience participation!
A second highlight has been the chance that our children have had to watch an artist at work! We received some grant funding to have a mural painted on one of our ball walls. Sam Porter from Mural Minded has been spray painting a fox (as an ode to our on-site fox family) on the wall, alongside a butterfly. We have been really impressed with his talent and skill. We will soon be having a second mural done by Sam outside the front of school on a sign for the Community Hub. We are excited for our families to be able to watch him at work after-school.
Next week, Year 4 have their trip to Murton Park and we are gearing up for all things Christmas! Don't forget to put any Christmas jumpers you no longer need in the Community Hub.
Nursery Consultation
We are still in the consultation phase for opening up nursery provision on our site. Please find more information here: Coppice Valley Primary School - Red Kite Learning Trust - Nursery Consultation
Crafternoons
We are so excited to welcome everybody in for our Crafternoons over the next two weeks. Please arrive at school at 2:15pm where we will take you to the hall.
Feedback
Just a gentle reminder about our feedback forms for school dinners and BAS club. We would welcome any comments and feedback. This helps us to improve our services.
Next Week's Menu
Christmas Jumper Swap!
We recommend you dig out last year's festive jumpers this weekend and then pay our Community Hub a visit. There is a new double rail in there to support the swapping of Christmas jumpers. This helps us all to reduce landfill, as well as everyone to have a festive jumper for our upcoming calendar of events!
