COLLINGWOOD NEWS 28th
June 2019
The week has ended with a double-bill
assembly led by Reception and 5A. First of all,
Reception entertained us first with the story
of the Hungry Caterpillar in French (along
with songs!) and then 5A gave us some food
for thought with their group presentations
based on environmental themes -
deforestation, declining bee populations and
over-fishing.
After that Mr Brian Lay, Governor Emeritus,
presented Year 6 with a departing gift of a
thesaurus. Brian has done this now for several
years for all our pupil leavers and it always
provides a poignant memory for all of our 6A
children before they come to the end of their
time at Collingwood.
The highlight of the week was of course our
annual Sports Day at Walcountians. It was
fantastic to see all the pupils competing in a
range of races. Even though Drake were
crowned champions on the day, all the
houses performed with determination, skill
and sportsmanship. The afternoon was
capped off with great relay races, some very
entertaining adult races and a fiercely
competitive Tug of War. Enormous thanks to
Mr Sitch for organising the whole day - a huge
amount of preparation is required to make
the day run as such a successful event.
For our KS2 classes, this week has also been
one of enterprise and entrepreneurship as
each class business prepares for their sales at
tomorrow's Summer Fair. Each business has
invested money in products and will be keen
to make as much profit as possible - do come
along and visit each stall at the fair. We look
forward to seeing many of you there
tomorrow to enjoy the sun!

What is 'broth' another word
for? Is it true that too many
people all trying to do the same
thing at the same time can make
things worse? Can you think of
an example? Are there times
when co-operation is a good
thing? Can you think of your own
modern version of this old
proverb?
Another proverb for this week. Apparently by Jane Austen!

As our Collingwood Tree continues to grow, we will be developing
this analogy of a nurturing, safe habitat even further. The
woodland theme will form the basis for new class identities from
September - they will no longer be called 1A, 2A, etc, but will be
represented by forest creatures or native British trees.

At long last, summer is here. Please ensure that
you apply sunscreen to your child each morning if
the forecast is for a sunny day ahead. Your child
may bring in sunscreen in a named bottle if they
are able to reapply this themselves.
Please also ensure that your child has a refillable
water bottle with them every day, we have a cold
water fountain in the foyer area and in the school
gym.
Please do ensure your child has a sun hat for
outdoor play available from Mapac.
