Last Week's News Feb 25
Ofsted Report: We were very pleased with the report that the Ofsted inspectors wrote following their visit in January 2025. They identified the outstanding work that we do with the children and how well they engage with their learning. I am very proud of the children and staff. You should have received a copy of the report earlier in the week and it is now on the school website.
5LM’s Class Assembly: 5LM shared a fantastic assembly with us on Friday 7th February. They shared that in Geography, they have been learning about earthquakes, mountains and volcanoes, whilst in History they have found out lots of historical information from the remains of a stone age man, called Otzi, the ice mummy. Thanks 5LM – we all thoroughly enjoyed your assembly!
Dogs’ Trust Assembly: On Thursday 6th February, Sarah from the Dogs’ Trust visited us to deliver an assembly. She shared lots of important information about why dogs are often put in rescue homes and how to stay safe around them. This included how to stand and react if you are approached by a dog when you are scared and how to politely ask to stroke a dog. The children in Year 2 and 3 were then given an additional workshop, where they were able to ask questions.
Water Safety Assembly: On Wednesday 5th February, the whole school enjoyed an assembly led by a representative from Severn Trent. The children learned about the water cycle and the process dirty water and sewage goes through in order to be reused. We discussed all of the different ways we could help save water and Year 4 enjoyed a workshop all about the different stages, as water is cleaned for our use. During the workshop, the children learned lots about what you can and can't put down the sink or toilet. Did you know, you shouldn't wash sauces down the sink? We also found out some things they find at Severn Trent, like jewellery, nappies and even pet fish! It was fascinating to learn more about the cleaning process and the children thoroughly enjoyed it.
School Council Visit: On Thursday 7th February, our School Council were lucky enough to visit the Council House in the city centre. They met the Lord Mayor (Councillor Mal Mutton) and the Lady Mayoress (Maggie Hickman), who answered lots of questions about their roles and gave the children a tour of the special rooms in the Council House. The children were fascinated by the chambers and had lots of questions to ask about the Lord Mayor’s roles and responsibilities, which mainly consist of promoting Coventry far and wide about the amazing city that it is! The children had a wonderful time, were all perfectly behaved and were rewarded with a special pen!
