  Sun 29 Nov 2020

  Well as we all know last week was not the best week for Clockhouse, but your support and lovely messages made it all that bit easier. We keep going this week and making the best of the siuation. Together we will  get through it.

  As we move further through the term and December hitting on Tuesday, this week we are really going to get into Christmas at Clockhouse. 

  The school is taking shape and the children certainly enjoyed the challenge of decorating it on Friday! But do not worry if you were at home this week, there will be plenty of time to decision rate when you return.

  We look forward to welcoming France back on Friday!

  Winston's Winter Wonderland
  This week the children will meet the character Winston, a little mouse, from a book will become a very special at Clockhouse as we move through the month of December. Even if they are not in school they will still get to meet him. Each week up until Christmas we have lots of lovely things planned which will be integrated into the children's learning. We hope this will ensure that the children have the best time possible in the lead up to the big day.

  Well our annual Remembrance Service, although different to normal years, provided us with a great opportuniity to remember. We hope you enjoyed our video of this which also showed you what we got up to during Best of British Week. As always, the children were outstanding during our Remembrance Day Service and showed the upmost respect, whether they were laying poppies or were in classrooms. It was wonderful to see the whole school community come together virtually for this. Thank you for the lovely comments regarding the poppy displays and the video.

  Thank you to you all for your overwhelming support and generosity for the very worthy cause that is Children in Need, there was certainly some fabulous spotty outfits. As soon as we have done all the counting we will let you know how much we raised!

   

  Thank you also for your overwhelmingly positive feedback your gave to use in the questionnaire we sent out. We are busy looking at this and will communicate our overall findings with you in the near furture.

   

  School Photographs
  Following the letter that came out last week, please remember that individual school photographs will be taken on Thursday 19th November. This will all be done in a Covid safe way. We are sure you can understand that this year siblings will cannot be photographed together and apologise in advance for this.

   

  Odd Sock Day

  As you may already know this week is national Anti-Bullying Week. In order to recognise this and celebrate difference, on Friday, we are asking the children (and staff) to come into school in odd socks. Throughout the week the staff will be talking to the children abouy anti-bullying. Please do also talk to them about this at home.

   

  No Cost Uniform Shop
  Please do not forget! Should you have any unwanted uniform that you are willing to donate to our No Cost Uniform Shop, this would be gratefully accepted. Please place this in the blue bin by the Key Stage 1 Office. If you need uniform from the Shop, please complete your order using the link below:

  We hope the children enjoyed Best of British week and the children were excited to come home and talk to you about this. We also hope they enjoyed the challenge of No Pen Thursday! Thank you for your responses to the questionnaire as well as your positive feedback from Parents' Evening. We hope you found the meetings useful and were proud to hear what the teachers had to say.

   

  Remembrance Day
  On Wednesday we will be holding our annual Remembrance Day Service. Although this will look slightly different to last year we still felt it important to recognise this. Look out for the displays on the school fence as always. The children have certainly been working hard with them. Please do send in photos of your poppies displayed in windows at home for us all to see!
   

  Children In Need

  On Friday, we are once again supporting the very worthy cause of Children in Need whose theme this year is 'Together we can'. Together we will come together by wearing spots. In doing so we will be having a non-uniform day where we will be showing our support by coming dressed in something spotty (a small donation in the bucket is all that is needed)! Should your child have PE on this day, they can still wear something spotty for the day but will still be doing PE. Please keep this in mind when deciding what your child will wear. All donations received for this will be sent to Children in Need. Please help us support this worthy cause!

   Welcome back to the new half term everyone!

  We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school tomorrow (Monday 2nd November). We hope that you all had a lovely holiday and are ready and raring to go for the new term ahead!

   

  Well done to all those who entered the Pumpkin Carving Competition, your carving skill are fantastic!

  
  We have a busy week to get us started this term!

   

  Best of British Week

  This week we will be celebrating Britain and the British Culture with our annual Best of British Week. We have lots of exciting things planned and, although it will be different his year, are still looking forward to having a mini street party on Friday as part of this, which will also see the Great Clockhouse Quiz. A letter about this came out before the holiday via Dojo.

   

  Thursday will also be No Pen Thursday - we wonder who will manage the challenge!

   

  Parents' Evening 

  Do not forget that on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week it is Parents' Evening after school. Teachers have been busy making appointments for everyone, so if, as yet, you do not have an appointment please contact your child's class teacher on Monday to make arrangements for a meeting. As you know, due to the current situation, as far as is possible, this will be on Zoom. Please do bear with us as this is obviously the first time we have done anything like this. 

   

  The termly questionnaire for parents / carers came out via Class Dojo yesterday and can be accessed using the link below 

   

  Autumn Term Questionnaire for Parents / Carers

   

  As always we thank you for your feedback. We do appreciate that this takes time but your feedback is invaluable to us as we continually strive to improve the educational experience we provide for the children and families we serve. 

   

  Please do allow your children to be part of the meeting so that they also know how they are doing and what they need to work on. The importance of the co-education of your child cannot be overstated.

   

  Please look out for the Zoom Guide for parents coming home on Monday and ensure you adhere to this when signing in to the meeting.

   

  Year 6
  Year 6 have Miles to Mole visiting virtually for a workshop on Friday. Please do take the time to talk to the children about this when they get home.

   

  Following the announcement from Boris Johnson last night, obviously we will continue to do all we can to keep the school as safe as possible and again I will not promise anything I cannot deliver to you. All that we ask is that you all do your bit as well and stick to the rules! Thank you in advance.
