Welcome to our blog and I hope you have had a lovely weekend. Thank you to parents and carers for sending your children into school during the bad weather last week. I am pleased that the weather did not affect our childrens’ learning. It was lovely to see the children playing in the snow.
We hope that you enjoy these wonderful pictures of our nursery children learning about and enjoying the snow.
This week at Copthorne
Reception Learning Workshop
1R and 2R will be holding a learning workshop which will held on Monday 26th January at 8.40am. As in previous workshops the teachers will be modelling a maths and literacy lesson illustrating how children learn maths and literacy skills using the provision. Parents will also have a chance to watch adult led literacy and maths carpet sessions. The workshops will provide you with ideas for and ways of supporting your child with his/her maths and literacy at home. Refreshments will be provided in the hall after the session and you will have an opportunity to ask any questions. We look forward to seeing as many Reception parents and carers as possible.
Forest Schools
On Friday a group of our Year 4 students will be continuing to take part in the Forest Schools programme on at the St Ives Estate. This is always a popular trip with our children who will take part in activities to build their self-esteem and confidence in an outdoor environment. All learning during the day takes place outside where the children learn woodland craft and explore the woods. Through such activities the children also develop care and responsibility for our environment. I am sure they will have a fantastic time and I look forward to hearing all about their adventures on their return to school.
I hope you have a lovely week and keep warm.
