Good Work Certificates
Teddy has had a quiet week at home with Mrs Episcopo, who
has been poorly.
The children (and staff) have really missed him this week.
He will be back next week for the last week of term and all our
Christmas celebrations.
The children continue to send lovely artwork and letters for
Teddy. Please remember to put your names on the back so he can send you a special thank-you.
Please do not send raisins in your children’s packed lunches.
Raisins can be extremely harmful to dogs and we do not want an emergency visit to the
V,E,T, if he picks up a raisin that has been dropped on the floor.
Raisins will be sent home uneaten.

Story Sack Family Learning
Our Story Sack Family Learning sessions finished this week. We had a great response with lots of mums and dads joining their children to create
their very own Story Sack. More pictures are on the app and website.
Winter Weather
Winter has arrived.
Please make sure your child has a warm coat, hat, gloves and scarf (all named, please) as all children
play outside everyday.
If we do experience adverse weather conditions, you can check for school closures in the following ways:-
Listen to Free Radio (97.0FM) who read out all the school closures in Coventry and Warwickshire.
Check the WCC website www.warwickshire.gov.uk/schoolclosures where you can also sign up for school closures text alerts.
Check our school Schudio App.
Any issues involving gritting public roads and paths need to be reported directly to the Council, these are
not in control of the school. Due to budget constraints, size of vehicles and
time—not all roads will be gritted. For more information visit
www.warwickshire.gov.uk/gritting
Absence Reporting
Pupil's absence should be reported via the school absence telephone line
02476 316034 option 1 or via the Schudio school app. E-mail should not be used as this is not routinely checked first thing in the morning and may result in a telephone call
or text message requesting the reason for absence.
We would like to remind all Reception and Key Stage 1 Parents that they should be
dropping their children off at their own classroom door in the mornings.
We are promoting independence in our children, by encouraging them to come into
school and begin the morning routine on their own.
Parents should not be walking through the school to other classrooms or to the School
Office. This disrupts the classes and also is a Safeguarding issue as parents must be
accompanied whilst in school.
