Young Carers Day
Today, Rhupinder from Young Carers led a whole school assembly in aid of Young Carers Awareness Day to raise awareness of the challenges faced by young carers and campaigns for greater support for them. The children shared their views by answering different questions and they listened well to the personal experiences of children who are young carers in Coventry. More information will be sent home. If you believe your child may be a Young Carer, please make an appointment with either Mr Ray or Mrs Smith.
Children in Need
Rugby
On Wednesday, Year 5 and 6 were visited by Coventry Rugby Club. The players will be returning in the new year to do reading sessions, sport sessions and will run a club for Year 5 and 6. The after school club will start on Tuesday 14th January for 6 weeks and costs £12. All details can be found on SIMS Pay.
For more details, please speak to Mrs Amphlett.
Young Carers
Young carers are people aged between 5 and 18 years old who have a responsibility for looking after or helping someone else to look after a person who has a disability, a long term illness, mental health illness, Autism/ADHD or someone addicted to drugs or alcohol. That person could be your mum, dad, brother, sister, grandparent or even a close friend or neighbour.
Thursday 30th January is National Young Carers’ Day. We will be holding an assembly in school to raise awareness.
Here is the Young Carers New edition for 2019:
Christmas Dinner
Everyone enjoyed a fantastic Christmas Dinner by our amazing Aspens staff. The food was delicious; it was enjoyed by both children and staff alike. The parsnips and roast potatoes stood out amongst a very competitive field as being particularly tasty! The presentation of the food area was excellent. As always, our Aspens staff go the extra mile to make the event extra special. Thank you!
Spring Term Clubs
We have confirmed out list of clubs for the Spring Term. Following recent parent voice, we have ensured that all year groups have access to at least one extra-curricular club. To sign up, please go online to SIMS Pay.
Children in Need
The children had a great time raising money for Children in Need on Friday. Everyone took part in the Joe Wicks workout in the morning – the staff found it more of a challenge than the children! In the afternoon, our ‘bring-and-buy’ sale was a bit hit. Thank you all for supporting Children in Need.
