Copdock Weekly Update 12/03/2021

Thank you for your help and understanding regarding dropping off and picking up this week.  It's been so lovely to see everyone back in school, especially with their huge smiles.  Please remember to keep an eye on the noticeboard as you climb the steps to the playground, and the weekly news to keep up to date on what's happening in the coming weeks.

Return to School

It has been wonderful to see the children this week and great to see how excited they have been in their learning and social interactions with friends.  On Thursday, School Council supported all children to engage in some reflection around the challenges and positives of returning to school.  They openly shared their views and it was lovely to hear how happy they are to be back.  Head Pupils would like to hear the views of parents too and so have created a short questionnaire here which they would like you all to complete please over the weekend.  Information from these reflections will be shared with Governors and used to identify any areas we can support in the coming weeks.

KS1 (including Reception) PE next week

As a change to the schedule, KS1 will have PE on Tuesday next week NOT Monday.  Please wear uniform on Monday, and PE kit on Tuesday.

Easter Bonnets
Every year we invite children to design and make an Easter Bonnet and we always have great fun parading them during family assembly.  It may be online this year, but we can't wait to see your creativity and will still have our parade (albeit virtually) on Friday 26th March.
