Headteacher Message
Dear Parents & Carers,
Welcome back to school and a Happy New 2024 to everyone! It feels like an age since we were singing Christmas songs, but now we are back to it and all struggling to remember to write the date correctly!
I wanted to say THANK YOU on behalf of all the staff who received small thank you gifts and messages from parents before the holiday – it’s never expected but always very much appreciated.
With only 3 days in, it’s only been a short week, but it’s been wonderful to see so many smiling faces back in school. Here’s to a a new year and an exciting term ahead!
Best wishes,
Tom Larkham
Headteacher
Wanted Clothes Donations!
We have an exciting new Coleham event coming soon!
Year 5 will be producing an Eco Fashion Show in the evening of Thursday 8th February and you will be hearing lots about this in the coming weeks.
Can you help? We are in desperate need of pre-loved clothes, shoes & accessories (adults & childrens) plus any ‘rubbish’ materials to create costumes (plastic bags, bubble wrap, paper plates, crisp packets etc)
Please drop any donations into the School Foyer.
We will be really grateful for any items received.
THANK YOU

Save the Date: International Day
International Day takes place on Tuesday 16th January.
This will be a Non-Uniform Day and the children will be able to wear cultural dress or sports clothes from any country or clothes the colour of any flag. There is no need to go to any expense, drawing a flag onto an old t-shirt is an easy idea.
We would love to host parent visitors in the classroom so you and your child can share your experiences from a different culture, country or travels. You might like to bring some photos, traditional clothes or objects to talk about. Please chat to your child’s teacher at the end of the day or contact Mrs Jasper in the school office to arrange a visit.

We have lots of fun planned and a letter about this will come out next week.
