Copdock Weekly Update 23/06/2023

Sports Day

It was so lovely to see so many families sharing our sports day on Monday.  The weather was very kind to us and the children thoroughly enjoyed it.  The red team scored the most points across the afternoon events but it was very close across all the teams.

Class Photos

Following our class photos being taken last week, we have received this information from Bentley Photographic for ordering your copies:

All ordering will now be Online Only and therefore cashless, there will be no proof cards to distribute and therefore no orders to collect and pass onto to us.  If any of your students or parents require any assistance they should contact our dedicated team by email - [email protected] who will be able to help.  Please find below the secure link for your students and parents to view and order the recent photographs.  I would be grateful if you could email it out at your earliest convenience as we have given the order by date for free delivery to your school of 04/07/2023 . They can opt to pay for postage to home at any time, even after the deadline.

NEXT WEEK

WCET Festival

Please see the email sent via the website on Wednesday 14th June with all the details.  Children should wear smart uniform including shoes.  They will need a packed lunch, drinks and their guitar.  Please note photos and video footage will be taken by the event organisers.  If you have purchased a ticket for the event please ensure you have printed it out ahead of attending, and notified us if you will be taking your child home direct from the event.  Please do not arrive before 1:40pm

PTA Non-Uniform

Next Thursday the PTA are inviting pupils to come into school in non-uniform in exchange for bottles for the Summer Fayre bottle stall.  Please wear appropriate clothing for being in school.  Please see attached the list of prizes on offer from the raffle - if you've yet to return your raffle stubs please do so.  If you'd like more tickets, we have a few in the office, otherwise ask a member of the PTA who'll be happy to give you more.  Please also see attached the poster giving details of what the PTA are currently fund raising to help finance at school.  If you can help at the fayre, please volunteer and share the work so the team can also enjoy the day.

Induction Days

For those year 6s moving up to East Bergholt High School, inductions are being held next week.  Pupils should be taken directly to the high school in the morning and collected from there in the afternoon.  You should have received details from EBHS to that effect.  Pupils will receive an authorised absence once we have confirmed attendance.

Whilst the majority of year 6 are out of school, the rest of the children will get to visit their classrooms and teachers for next year.

FURTHER AHEAD

Quad Kids

Please ensure all replies have been sent in regarding the Quad kids events for Foxes & Woodpeckers by Friday 30th.  We need to know how many parents will be attending and therefore how many children (if any) need transporting back to school.  Please pay attention to the dates for the year groups, it can get confusing!

Year 4 Sleepover

Today is the deadline to notify us that your year 4 child would like to stay for the sleepover.  More details will be send home next week once we have confirmed numbers.

Talent Show

Tickets are still available to book for the talent show on Friday 7th July.  Please note, if any of the audience is ordering an ice lolly, payment can be made via School Spider or in cash.  You only need to pay for lollies that have been ordered when tickets have been booked.  The children in school that day will receive an ice lolly.  Bookings need to be placed before Friday 30th June.
