Arts Week 2023

We had a great time during Arts Week! We learned about different artists as well seeing live music. IRock was certainly a highlight of the week.

Click on the link below to see what we got up to:




The zoo comes to town

As part of their learning about animals, the children in Nursery and Reception were delighted to welcome the Zoo to Clockhouse. Greenland got to visit as well.

The children were very excited to meet the animals and find out about them. They were very respectful and responsible and showed themselves to be great Clockhouse Citizens.














Year 2 get chopping

As part of our life skills curriculum, Year 2 learn how to chop vegetables.

We are sure you will agree this is a tricky skill but they did so well.

Hopefully, they have been putting their skills into good use at home.







SURPRISE!

So whilst everyone has been enjoying half term, it has been a busy time at Clockhouse. 

Although not quite finished yet, the Reception playground is undergoing a complete makeover for the children in Nursery and Reception to use. This has been a long time coming but we cannot wait to see it finished and the children start using it! 

Exciting times!

From this...







...to this!














Weekly reminders for week beginning 20th February 2022

Welcome back to the new half term everyone!

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school tomorrow (Monday 20th February). We hope that you all had a lovely holiday and are ready and raring to go for the new term ahead!

Please remember that school starts at 8.55am and learning really does start straight away. Doors open at 8.45am and teachers are available from then. We really need to improve our attendance this term so please help us out by ensuring that children are in school everyday and on time unless it really is unavoidable!

'We are...' Week
We have a busy but exciting week with all the children taking part in our annual 'We are...' Week.  Throughout the week the children will be doing lots of different things to inspire them about their futures. We have lots and lots of visitors coming in as well. On Friday, the children are invited to dress as a role they aspire to be when they are older.

Amazing Attendance and Perfect Punctuality
This week is our termly focus Attendance and Punctuality Week. Please make every effort to ensure that your child is in school everyday and on time! We really do need to work together to improve the children's attendance across the school and need your help to do so. Together we CAN DO IT! Look out for the daily updates! Who will win the top prize?

Pancake Day
As advertised before the holiday, the canteen will be serving pancakes as a desert option on Tuesday.

Is your child, or a child you know due to start Nursery in September 2023
We are looking forward to welcoming prospective parents / carers into school on Tuesday 10.00am. Please call the school to book this or a tour later in the term. 

Parents' Evening 
Do not forget that on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week it is Parents' Evening after school. Teachers have been busy making appointments for everyone, so if, as yet, you do not have an appointment please contact your child's class teacher on Monday to make arrangements for a meeting. As you know, we are again offering a blended approach, so if you have not done so already, please do tell the teachers if you want a Zoom or face to face meeting. Please do allow your children to be part of the meeting so that they also know how they are doing and what they need to work on. The importance of the co-education of your child cannot be overstated.

The termly questionnaire for parents / carers came out via Class Dojo prior to the holiday and can be accessed using the link below: 


As always we thank you for your feedback. We do appreciate that this takes time but your feedback is invaluable to us as we continually strive to improve the educational experience we provide for the children and families we serve.
