Copdock Weekly Update 11/03/2022
Sponsored Read Monies
For those of you who were unable to get the Readathon monies in today, please ensure they are with us on Monday!
Swimming
On Monday, swimmers will need to bring Shorts & T-shirts with them please.
KS1 ASC Cancellation
Unfortunately we have had to cancel the KS1 after school club as we didn't have enough participants to make it viable.
Dodgeball
For those children participating in the Dodgeball tournament, please ensure they come into school on Tuesday in their PE kits with a coat and plenty of water. As they will be back by lunchtime, they will be able to order a hot dinner.
Urban Dance Taster Session
For those of you who replied to the email sent earlier in the week, we have a trial session on Tuesday after school for an Urban Dance Class. KS2 children will already be in uniform. Children attending from KS1 will be fine to participate in their uniforms.
Fundraising
We have a couple of events coming up on the next 2 Fridays. The 18th sees the annual, nationally recognised Red Nose Day, with this year being the turn of Comic Relief. Children are invited to come into school dressed either as a superhero, or in red, for a 50p donation. The following week, 25th, sees a Go Purple day raising funds and awareness for Epilepsy Action. Children are invited to come into school dressed in something purple, and will have the opportunity to buy a cake from Snack Shop, for a 50p donation.
Following on from our Prayer Space and reflections in school today, if you would like to make donations to help the people of Ukraine, please see the email sent earlier in the week, or more specifically please see this link for details of organisations who are coordinating collections locally or to give financial assistance, please use this link.
The children have asked to have access to an activity we did today as part of our learning about 'refuge'. This is attached below.

The latest winners of our 100 Club are:
1st Martin P

School Collections
As the evenings are getting lighter and the weather is improving, if you would like your Foxes child to meet you down the road rather than coming onto site to collect, please ensure you notify the office by email as we do check children leave site with an adult unless we have been informed otherwise. Please remember that school finishes at 3:15pm. Do talk to your child about walking sensibly to meet you, and what to do if you are not there.
