Welcome to our blog everyone. I hope you have had a lovely weekend with your families. The weather has been lovely this weekend and hopefully the warmer weather is not too far away.
Year 2 Football Tournament
On Monday 23rd February, pupils from Year two entered a football tournament at Grange Technology College and played against four other schools. I am delighted to inform you that our team drew one match and won the other three matches. They then went on to win the tournament and were presented with medals and certificates. All the pupils played extremely well, were very well behaved and acted as great ambassadors for our school. We hope to be entering more sports events similar to this one which will include more Key Stage One pupils.
We also had good news from the Year 5 and 6 football team when they won 3-0 in a cup game against Farnham Primary School. The team have now got through to the semi-final and are eager and ready to keep up their hard work. Well done everyone!
Children’s Heart Foundation – Red Day
Last term we held a ‘Red Day’ to support the Children’s Heart Foundation. Staff and children came to school wearing something red. There was also a raffle and a bun and biscuit sale. The total amount raised for the charity was £456.14. Thank you so much to parents, carers and staff for making the day a huge success.
This week at Copthorne
Young Leaders Training Conference
Mr A Khan will be taking a group of year 4 and year 5 children to Grange Technology College on Monday 9th March. The children will be trained up to enable them to lead sporting activities back at school during break times and lunch times. This activity will help build up the childrens’ confidence and also encourage other children to keep fit and active during break time.
Year 5 & 6 Archery Competition
On Wednesday 11th March, Mr A Khan will be taking several Year 5 and 6 pupils to the Khidmet Centre where they will be taking part in an Exceed Archery competition. The children will be playing against other local primary schools in our area. The competition will give the children the opportunity to put into practise the skills that they have been learning during the classes over the last few weeks. Good luck children!
Comic Relief Day
Friday 13th March is Comic Relief Day. It’s the day, held every two years, when people across the land get together and do something funny for money at home, school and work. Comic Relief helps lots of projects worldwide, helping people who are living tough lives in the UK and around the World. We will be holding lots of fundraising events in school as well as selling red noses. Parents and carers will receive a letter over the next couple of days with details of events.
Wishing you a great week ahead.
