Information

It is World Book Day on Thursday 7th March. Come dressed as a character (make sure you know who you are!) from your favourite book. You can bring the book to school too.

Children are going to be working in house teams on the day. This means that they will form a group with children from other classes who are in their house team and do an activity together. They return to their own classes at lunchtime and the end of the day.

Your child should have brought home their World Book Day token today. This can be redeemed in many places including some supermarkets.

The PTA will be selling ticket bars next week too – prizes will be one if you have one of the winning chocolate bars!

 

 

Young Voices

Thursday 22nd February was one of the highlights of the school calendar as we took part in Young Voices 2024. This year, we took a choir of 27 children to the Genting Arena. They had been practicing hard for weeks before and all of them were amazing as they were part of the largest children’s choir in the world. They sang with 5300 children from several other schools. We were so proud of them all! Thanks to Mrs Harper-Jones for preparing and taking the choir and Mrs Colin-Stokes and Mrs Wade for accompanying the children too.

This week, we have been taking part in ‘Children’s Mental Health week’. The week started with an assembly introducing the theme ‘My Voice Matters’. Children have been thinking about their proud moments and ways to make a difference. It was great to see so many take part in ‘Dress to Express’. The link has tip for parents if this is something you would like to access at home.

On Wednesday afternoon, eight girls took part in a football competition. The team worked together well and came up with some good results winning 2 matches and losing 1. This saw them into the quarterfinals where they came up against a strong team. Unfortunately, losing 1-0 in the last minute they didn’t progress any further.
The girls played with great respect, determination, and passion well done to; Nancy, Eva, Cora, Nevaeh, Darcey, Willow, Esme S and Sabrina (goalkeeper who made some amazing saves). Thank you Mrs Richardson.
Year 4 welcomed some of their families in to have lunch. They enjoyed one of Becky and Ruth’s delicious roast dinners.

On Wednesday, we had a final assembly for Mrs Bernasconi. She has been at Claverley for nearly nine years and in that time has done a lot to support the children in many ways. She was presented with gifts from the staff, Governors and PTA and she was very grateful for all the good wishes from the children too.

On Thursday, Yellow and Green took part in a Lunar New Year activity afternoon.

PTA – thank you for all the funding raised. The children were desperate for goals for the field. We have one set of large and one set of medium goals.

Finally, here are this week’s Super Stars!

Wishing all our families a lovely half-term!
