Copdock Weekly Update 3/10/25
Information to ShareSCHOOL VISION DEVELOPING RESPONSIBILITY We have noticed a few more jumpers and cardigans without names recently. When children remove items of uniform, we encourage them to hang things on their peg or put them in their locker. This promotes responsibility and the importance of taking care of belonging, both our own and others.To support youir children to develop responsibility, please ensure they have their name in all items of uniform that can be removed (including PE kit). If they come out at the end of the day without it, youn can then ask them to go an find it as it has their name in it. Together we can reduce lost items and save money in replacing them. SUCCESS AND CONFIDENCE If your child takes part in clubs and activities outside of school, we would love to have a photo of them showing confidence or being successful to go on our school board. We also share certificates and trophies on a Friday in family assembly. We currently have a few children's achievements on our board but we know there are lots of really exciting things going on. Please share these with us! Harvest Festival - next Thursday is our annual harvest festival at the church. Parents are welcome to join us for singing and prayers from 2.30pm, with parking available at Copdock Hall. If you would like to make a contribution to the harvest collection, please send in any tinned/packet food (in good date) with your child on the morning. These will be added to the church collection before distribution. Please note ALL children need to be collected from the church on this occasion.

Amen Shoebox Appeal - we will be supporting the shoebox appeal alongside the church once again this year, linking this to our value of generosity with the children. Leaflets are available in school if you wish to complete your own box. However, we also welcome any small gifts from our families so the children can make up boxes with the donations received. More information about suitable gifts can be found on the Attached leaflet. The deadline for gifts is half term please, allowing time for boxes to be packed and prepared for delivery. Thank you in advance for your support. World Mental Health Day – Friday 10th October 💛 we will be joining schools and communities around the world to mark World Mental Health Day. This year, the global focus is: 'Access to services – mental health in catastrophes and emergencies.' While this highlights the importance of ensuring support is available for those facing crises around the world, in school we will be focusing on how we can all play a part in supporting positive mental health and wellbeing every day.We are encouraging all children to wear something yellow alongside their school uniform (eg hair bands, socks) Throughout the day, we will be taking part in activities that promote wellbeing and help children explore ways to look after their mental health.

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful!
