Headteacher Msg Dear parents & carers,
Here we are on Friday again in some glorious weather! Another short week, but there’s been an awful lot of work packed in from Year 6. All the Year 6 children have shown their resilience, hard work and excellent attitudes this week by being incredibly conscientious in their SATs tests. They have been very keen to do their best, whatever the outcomes, and they haven definitely put everything in to, showing real Coleham spirit! A huge thanks also goes to Mr Edwards, Mrs Morgan and their team for administering and organising everything so that the week ran as smoothly as possible.
Year 3 have enjoyed an excellent choral day at Shrewsbury High School where they were fantastic! They had to work hard to learn some new songs and sing with others in a huge choir: many of you were able to go and see their final performance, which is wonderful for the children. Some Year 5 children also visited SHS for a ‘Techathon’ for afternoon of problem solving to really test their skills!
And finally, this afternoon, the whole school took part in a diversity afternoon where the children explored each other’s differences to learn that ‘We Are All Wonders!’
Have a great weekend, and don’t forget that Monday is not a bank holiday this week!

If yes, drop us a message on Facebook, tell the office ladies or sign up on the rota at Reception. Thanks so much, we always appreciate volunteers help.
Diversity Afternoon The whole school took part in a Diversity afternoon where they celebrated their differences and learned that, We Are All Wonders! Taking inspiration from the book Wonder.
Year 5 Techathon Trip 10 children from Year 5 visited Shrewsbury High School for an afternoon of problem solving. They learnt 4 different ciphers and had to crack literacy codes to compete against other primary schools. Parents were invited at the end of the day to hear all about their work. Well done to all the children for putting in their best effort.

Year 3 Choral Day Year 3 had a brilliant time at Shrewsbury High School for a Choral day with other schools. The staff and children learnt 4 songs and sections were overlapped to create harmonies and rhythms. This was a great experience to be part of a large choir and the day ended with a showcase concert to parents. The Coleham children were an absolute credit to our school. Thank you SHS for this musical opportunity!
Leopard’s History Seminar As part of our Career Related Learning we want the children to develop key Employability skills necessary for future careers and so presenting and public speaking is a school focus.
Leopard’s Class demonstrated 4 employability skills in their recent history work, communication, teamwork, planning & organising and self-management.
Leopard’s children produced a fantastic history seminar on Vikings which they researched and presented to each other. Great work!
