Love God Love Learning Love Life

The students have really embraced today’s celebration of David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday with some brilliant costumes and well though out outfits. Henry in Kingfisher Class designed his own t-shirt full of facts and James in Owl Class wore an upcycled t-shirt designed by his 16 year old sister Bella, a former Corvedale pupil, and budding designer!
Next week in school we have SATs for our Year 6 children. Thank you to all the parents who have volunteered to put on the SATs breakfast which is a tradition here at Corvedale that really helps to relax the students and make it more positive experience for everyone involved.
Then to finish the week on Friday 15th May children across the whole of school from nursery up to year 6 will be taking part in a day of RE Workshops aimed at enriching the curriculum with stimulating and educational hands on activities exploring the vibrant world of faith.
Please note that next week will be our final Stay and play this half term as it will not be running on Friday 22nd May.

The Seedpips gardens group have been hard at it again this week, laying all the tree bark down, planting onions and digging the beds ready for more planting over the next few weeks. The group worked very hard and the garden is already starting to look like a proper, useful working community garden space.
Thanks again to Jo, Jackie and Colin for all their hard work.

We would again like to extend our thanks to our volunteer coach Thomas Bird who delivered the first afterschool football club session on Thursday evening. We has some fantastic feedback from students and parents, and it was wonderful to see so many children across years 3 to 6 taking part. For some students this was a great way to extend the skills they already have, and for others this was their first try at a new sport, however, thay all played brilliantly and it was fabulous to see everyone supporting each other!
