Dear Parents and Carers,

A reminder that the school will be closed next Friday due to our last staff training day.

Sports Day

Sports day on Monday was a great success and all the children thoroughly enjoyed the event.  It was a shame that parents and carers could not come and watch. The Park had to cancel the event from being held outside because the fields were very waterlogged following the heavy rain we had over the weekend.

Industrial Action – not affecting Christ the King

You may have heard that some schools will be close next week, due to industrial action. WE WILL BE OPEN AS USIUAL.

Headteacher’s Awards

It has been great to have such a positive feedback about the Headteacher’s Awards that we introduced in January. It would always be the expectation that each children receives at least one award per year, however because we started several months into this school year, it is unlikely that every child will receive an award by July. Any child that does not will receive an award by the October holiday in their new class.

                       

Celebration Assembly

The next Celebration Assembly will be on Monday 4^th July at 9am, where the following children will receive their Headteacher's Award:   Destiny (YR), Archie (YR), Channelle (Yr1), Kash (Yr2), Noella (Yr2), Christiana Yr3), Chad (Yr4), Anastasia (Yr 5), Archie G (Yr 6)

Clubs

Week beginning Monday 4^th July will be the last week for school clubs.

Hot School Meals

Eden has confirmed that the school price will not be increased from this September, therefore it remains at £2.25.

All children going into Year 3 from September (our current Year 2) will have to pay for their hot meals.  If you think you are eligible for Free School Meals please see the school office who can help you apply.

Final Staff Training Day

The last training day, when the school is closed, will be on Friday  8^th July.

Old Phones and Tablets

We are looking into interesting ways in which we can use old technology to support learning in school. If you have an old tablet or mobile phone please pass them onto us so that we can use them in class.

Christ the King Culture Day – organised by children in Year 6

Culture Day will be on Wednesday 6^th July – the day when we all learn about different countries, cultures and traditions.  The children will be learning about different cultures in their lessons during the day.  Children can come into school dressed in the traditional clothes for any country or culture that they wish to celebrate.  Children can interpret ‘traditional clothes’ in any way they like (e.g. it might be day-to-day clothes that people wear in the UK. But can we ask for no football kits to be worn. Year 6 children will be explaining this to the children during assembly.

Lost property

There is a lot of lost property in the school.  It will be placed outside today and Monday, please come and look for any items that might belong to your child.

Attendance! Attendance! Attendance!

This term, as well as rewarding 99% and 100% attendance, we will also be rewarding classes that demonstrate a big improvement in attendance.

Unfortunately, no classes have achieved above 97% attendance this week.
