7th November 2014 - Colley Lane Primary School

Dear Parents, Carers and Children,
Welcome to the first newsletter of the half term. On Friday we held a special
remembrance service led by our children and the local branch of the British Legion.
Next week, to mark the centenary of World War One the children will be taking part in a
range of activities. This will include the creation of our own wall hanging honouring the
fallen in particular those who attended Colley Lane.
Library Development: The major building work has now been completed providing us
with a large open space on the first floor for our new library and gallery. Mrs Horton is
busy talking to children and staff about the details of the final design which sounds very
exciting. Thanks to our PTA and all your generous contributions we will be able to stock
the new library with £5000 worth of new books, thank you for this fantastic support.
Harvest Thanks: We have received a certificate from the Black Country Food Bank
thanking us for our recent contribution. Thanks to your generosity they will be able to
support eleven families and four individuals for three days.
We have made a difference.
Sporting Success: I am very proud to report we have been awarded the Sainsbury’s
School Games Silver Award. This is in recognition of the school’s commitment,
engagement and delivery of competitive sport in 2013/14. I would like to thank the
children and our P.E. leaders Mrs Dubberley, Miss Carbines,
Mrs Bevan, Mr Williams and Windsor High School for making
this possible. The Gold award will be our next target.
Best wishes,
J.K. White
Head teacher
Year 1 Autumn Focus Day
Wednesday 5th November
In our classes we thought about Autumn and
then went for an Autumn walk in the glade as a
year group. During the rest of the day we did art
and craft activities based on our Autumn theme:
Looking for signs of Autumn in the glade.
“We went outside and looked for red & orange
leaves” - Grace
We made hedgehogs out of clay….
…and some of us used the leaves we collected
to make our own leaf print picture.
We also made a hedgehog picture using Autumn
colours.
Could we remind you that if you have any
shoeboxes to be returned for the Christmas
shoebox appeal could you return them to school by
Thursday 13th November.

You may notice a yellow flag when you
submit payment, this is only a display
problem and the money is being received as
normal. This should be resolved ASAP.
Out of hours school clubs are filling up very quickly
and in order to utilise this service could you please ensure
that booking forms along with payment are received at
least 48 hours in advance. We are having to turn people
away due to the age and child ratio for staffing.
