  Bonnet Parade

  The traditional Cookley School Easter Bonnet Parade will start from school at 9.15am.  Our youngest children are accompanied by our older pupils during the parade.  The parade will start along Lea Lane, along Austcliffe Road to Drumart House.  We will then make our way up onto the Beeston, Clee , Gaymore and Staite loop and then head back down the pathway to Austcliffe and then return to school.  We hope some of you will be able to watch us on our parade - and please let the villagers know too.

  So remember...

  • To come in your school uniform
  • Your bonnet

   

   

  NSPCC Colour Run

  All of the children will participate in the 'run' itself (it will replace our Daily Mile just for today)

  Please make sure that you have given permission via the Gateway for the cloud.  We WILL NOT let them run through the cloud without permission.  (If you are joining in with the run you can join the cloud too or just watch - it's up to you!)  Please also make sure that the children have a change of clothes.  The paint cloud 'may stain clothing' so don't send them in their Sunday Best (just an old pair of joggers and a tshirt would be fine)  It would also be sensible to provide a pair of sunglasses to help protect their eyes from the paint.

  Parents are invited to join in.  The gates will open at 2.10pm.  Please make your way to your child's classroom to collect them and then make your way to the start (by the adventure playground).

  The paint cloud will be 'fired' at the end of the run (these paint cannons are similar to giant party poppers).  Pupils whose parents are unable to join us will do the run with their class teacher.

  So please remember...

  • Send your child with a change of clothes (and sunglasses to protect eyes)
  • To give permission via the Gateway (under payments - no payment necessary)
  • Arrive at 2.10 if you would like to join us

   

  The Friends of Cookley School will be holding their Chocolate and Bottle tombolas too tomorrow afternoon.  All the money raised from the tombolas will go towards purchasing some new computer equipment for the children.

• Summer Term Clubs

  Wed 10 Apr 2019

  After Easter we will be offering the following clubs after school.  They are all available to book via the Gateway.

  Monday - Drama Club with Miss Hickman 

  Tuesday - Martial Arts with Kidderminster Self Defence

  Wednesday - Mini tennis with Mr Wheeler

  Friday - Futsal with Midlands Football Academy

   

• Colour Run NSPCC

  Mon 08 Apr 2019

  Please make sure that you have given permission via the Gateway if you wish your child to run through the colour 'cloud' during Friday's Colour Run.  They will need to bring a change of clothes too as the paint may stain - sunglasses are also recommended.

  The permission is under 'Payments' (although no payment is necessary)

  Parents are welcome to join us from 2.15pm.

• Reception Class Tesco Express Visit

  Wed 27 Mar 2019

  On Friday 29th March we will be visiting our local Tesco Express to learn more about 3D shapes and also for each child to purchase a chocolate paw! This visit will conclude a week's learning about money and also enable each child to purchase an item (handing over cash and receiving their own receipt). We are grateful to Tesco for donating the chocolate paws and the school will finance any additional costs. Therefore, children will NOT need money from home. If you would like to join us please let the staff know in advance so children can be grouped accordingly. You will then need to meet at the school office at 1:30 on Friday.

  Many thanks, Miss Allardice and Mrs Roath.
