Colmore Junior School

Highlights of the week

We have had another incredibly busy and vibrant week here at school! It was wonderful to see our children stepping up and experiencing a lesson with their new classes this week and welcoming the Year 2 children from the Infant School, while our Year 6 pupils took an exciting step forward by visiting their upcoming secondary schools.  It was great to see our new Year 3 parents in school this week at our presentation and coffee morning. Creativity and history also took centre stage! On Monday, Year 4 transported us back in time with a fantastic Egyptian Day. We have also been treated to some wonderful musical talent, with beautiful performances from our violin and viola players, alongside an energetic concert from our brilliant Rocksteady bands. Thank you to all the children who performed so confidently.

Looking Ahead: Monday Morning & The Big Match!

We know that excitement is building across the nation for the England vs. Mexico game at 1:00 am this coming Monday. While we completely understand that many of our pupils will want to stay up late to cheer on the team, our school day starts at the usual time, and we cannot alter our morning registration. We are incredibly keen to keep our attendance figures as high as they usually are, so we have come up with the following:

• The Match is On! As a reward for getting to school on time, we will be letting the children watch a replay of the match as soon as registration is complete.  Sadly, we will not be able to anything about any spoilers!
• Alternative Activities: We know football isn’t for everyone! For children who are not interested in the game, activities and full work options will be running as normal.

We want Monday to be a brilliant, positive day for everyone, and ensuring your child arrives on time is the best way to kick off the week. Thank you, as always, for your continued support with our school attendance. Wishing you all a wonderful, restful weekend! Warm regards
