Tips for parents in the newsletter below.

1-Online-Safety-Newsletter-Feb-2026

The Living Streets company are holding a badge design competition that could see us winning a years’ worth of walk to school resources.

This year’s theme is Walk the Senses – they want the children to tell them what they see, hear, smell, taste or feel as they walk or wheel to school. That might be the sound of birds singing, the smell of flowers or a tasty snack eaten on the way to school. Or it could be the feel of raindrops or snow on their skin – or spotting a rainbow in the sky!

Your child may complete this in class or may come home with the template to have a go at home. (or a plain piece of paper will be fine too)

Entries to be with Class Teacher or Miss Melville by Friday 13th February.

Will we have some Coleham winners?

NON UNIFORM – It will be a non-uniform day. Your child is invited to come dressed in non uniform in the colours of any flag or cultural dress of their choice.  We do not expect you to buy a costume, you could wear a flag as a cape or get creative using face paints, decorate a plain t-shirt with felt tips or wear an international sports kit.
