Weekly reminders for week beginning 9th February 2026

Thank you for your support in all we are trying to achieve.

As the last week of the half term approaches, it is full steam ahead at Clockhouse!

EYFS

The children in Nursery and Reception are very excited about welcoming the Zoo to Clockhouse on Friday. This is to support their current learning. If you have any concerns please speak to your child's class teacher.

Year 5

We look forward to welcoming our Year 5 parents / carers on Thursday for Learn with my Child at 9.10am - 10.10am. Please come for as little or as much as you can. As with the other year groups, regrettably we are unable to accommodate younger siblings at these events.

The final meeting for the Condover Hall residential visit is taking place on Wednesday at 5pm. This will be in the Key Stage 2 hall.

Year 6
We look forward to welcoming our Year 6 parents / carers on Tuesday for Learn with my Child at 9.10am - 10.10am. Please come for as little or as much as you can. As with the other year groups, regrettably we are unable to accommodate younger siblings at these events.

Mental Health Week.

As you may already know this week is National Mental Health Week. With a considerable rise in the number of children and young people affected by mental health, this is an event close to the school’s heart. To show our support for this, throughout the week the children will be taking part in various assemblies and activities. There will also be a daily post on Class Dojo and Social Media for you all - watch this space! There will also be activities for the children to get involved in at lunchtime in Tuesday.

Special Dinner Day

There is a Special Dessert Day on Thursday. The menu was sent out on Friday.

Things to be aware of

It is hard to believe that we finish school for the half term on Friday (13th February) and return to school on Monday 23rd February. We hope you all have a great holiday!
