New Year's Resolutions: Every year I challenge the children to think of something they could improve at school and at home and adopt these as resolutions. Many have told me that they intend to work more quickly, write more neatly, have a better attitude or be a better friend. I'd like to wish everybody the best of luck with their resolutions. I would hope that you might see the benefit at home too with tidier, more helpful children who argue less with their brothers or sisters. I shared that I aim to practise my saxophone more regularly and started at lunchtime, in the dining room, which both I, and the children, enjoyed.
UK Parliament Assembly: On Tuesday 7th January, our Key Stage 2 children listened to and participated in an assembly led by Clare Mullin. This was very informative and explained to the children how a Member of Parliament (MP) is elected in the United Kingdom. The children were interested to learn that Mary Creagh is Coventry East’s MP and that she has a responsibility to represent the people living in the East of Coventry, at parliament. Clare explained that MPs debate on various issues, including health, housing and education and they create new laws. The children were invited to share their views and the assembly finished with a quiz to find out how much the children had learnt and remembered.
