Headteacher Message Dear Parents & Carers,
Churchill.JPG Welcome to another newsletter! It’s been a busy and slightly warmer week, and it’s nice to end on a bit of sunshine.
We had Ms Jones and the CEO, David O’Toole, visit us this week. It’s always good to have the Trust leadership have an outsider’s view of all things Coleham, and they were very impressed with what they had seen. They commented on how well the children behaved around school and the excellent learning they saw happening in the classrooms. Well done everyone!
On another happy note, I’ve had quite a few children come to my office this week with excellent work, including some EYFS children with some fantastic writing about Handa and a cheeky giraffe, so I thought I’d put a picture of one of my giraffes in this week.
I’m looking forward to seeing some of you at the quiz tonight – make sure you bring your brains!
Whatever you are doing this weekend, make sure you have a good one!
Tom Larkham
Headteacher

Year 4 Dodgeball Competition A big well done to some of our Year 4 children for their excellent performance in this week’s dodgeball competition over at Meole Brace Secondary School. They played exceptionally well as a team, never gave up, and reached the quarter-finals. Congratulations on representing Coleham admirably and embodying our school values. Well done, as always!

The Shropshire Bagpiper Jump & Jive EYFS/KS1 Music Club welcomed The Shropshire Bagpiper this week to celebrate Burns’ Night. The Club practiced two Scottish Jigs, performed Burns’ story of Tam o’ Shanter with lots of instruments and learnt just what a Sgian Dubh is! They then marched round school and performed to their parents at the front gates! Well done Jump & Jive and thank you to Mrs Wade for organising the visit.
