Meriden C.E. Primary School Week ending Friday 17th April 2015 www.meridenceprimaryschool.co.uk Welcome back to summer term! During the holidays we ran a children’s club, now voted by the children to be called Mischievous Monkeys. The children (and staff!) had a fantastic time making biscuits and cakes, doing crafts, playing games...the list goes on! Have a look at the photos later in the newsletter to see what they got up to. Bookings will start being taken next week for May half term and the summer—details will be sent out next week. Over Easter we had a few alterations made internally and now have some group rooms within the Wild Room to help pupils concentrate on their learning. A further partition was put up next to the Key Stage 2 coat pegs. Work has also started today on the area by the top car park—this is being turfed for the children to use as a chill-out zone at break times. Staff news...Miss Walton has been appointed as Literacy Leader at a school in Coventry and will be leaving us in July. We wish her the very best of luck and many congratulations! Mr Pete Woodward, after returning to school following a long fight with cancer, fell ill just before Easter and decided to hang up his mop. I’m sure you will join us into wishing him a long and relaxing retirement. Any good wishes can be passed on by the office. On an entirely different note, can I remind you that we do not accept bad language and aggression on our site. We will act to ensure it remains a safe place for pupils, staff and all other members of our community, therefore if you do behave in a way which is unacceptable, you may be banned from the school. If you do have a strong concern come straight to me rather than approaching staff aggressively. Please help us to demonstrate our school value of respect this half term. Lucy Winkler Happy Birthday! These children have had birthdays since 28th March up until today.

Thank you for your continued support Meriden School PTA The Weather Lottery Monday 13th Apr 2015 Monday 6th Apr 2015 Costs £1 per week, £4.34 per month Monday 30th Mar 2015 Found! We have asked all our spectacle wearing pupils if these belong to them but no one has claimed them! Does anyone recognise them? As you know during the last week of term we all leaned about saving the environment during ’Earth Day’. As part of this Miss Knight asked families to switch lights off for an hour on Saturday 28th March. She ran a competition for the best photograph of children doing this. Avani won first prize (tickets to the safari park!) for the fabulous photo of her reading by torch light! Thank you to everyone who sent pictures in and well done to Avani and her family! “We went to the farm and learned how to feed animals and about their babies.” Ava, FS1 “We went to the farm and saw lots of baby animals. There were goats that were greedy!” Grace, FS2 “We have learned about the plague and researched masks worn.” Erin, Year 4 “We have been learning about nocturnal animals and what happens at night time.” Emily, Year 2 “We have been thinking about our new topic ’Under the sea’ and we have made our own jelly fish.” Cerys, Year 1 “We have been learning about place value up to at least 1000000.” Maisie-Jayne, Year 5 “We have written a postcard to Biscuits and Tim (from the book Buried Alive by Jacqueline Wilson) about how to spot bullying and what to do.” Ayyub, Year 3 “We have been learning how to add, multiply, subtract and divide fractions.” George S, Year 6 Prayer Corner Dear God Thank you for Meriden Church of England Primary School. Help us to work hard and do our best. Please bless our school And everyone who steps inside. Amen
