Dear Parents/Carers,
The week started with our usual transition day, where all our children visited their new classrooms and met their new teachers. Many of our Year 6 children also visited their new secondary schools. Overall, the day was a huge success and we have another transition afternoon planned before the end of term to ensure that the children get to know their new teacher and feel excited about joining their new class next year.
On Tuesday night, we also hosted our annual Showcase Concert and this year the children were incredible. The Year 5 choir wowed us with a number of songs while many of our children showcased their talents playing instruments from the violin to the drums. A huge thank you to Mrs Porrett and Mrs Hilbert for organising this lovely event.
Sport has been high on the agenda this week at Coleham and the Year ¾ children thoroughly enjoyed their sports day on Wednesday afternoon – thank you to all of you who attended, we hope that you enjoyed the event. I was especially impressed to see so many of you taking part in the parent race – I hope there weren’t any strained muscles!
Last night, Coleham took a team to the Area Athletics, competing in various track and field events against 12 local schools. I am delighted to announce that Coleham came 2nd overall! What an achievement! A fantastic evening of athletics and I am told that the children worked hard, were wonderful role models and exhibited excellent behaviour. A huge thank you to Miss Lewis for organising this events and accompanying the children to the event.
Next week, we have lots to look forward to including the Year 6 Leavers Assembly. I hope that you all have a relaxing weekend.
Kind regards,
Claire Jones
Headteacher
