Letter to Parents – Scarlet Fever

Although we have a higher than normal absence of pupils in school at the moment, this is due to the nasty winter bugs that appear to be circulating.  Please note that we have no known cases of Scarlet Fever / Strep A in school.

As a matter of precaution, and as previously communicated, we have increased our cleaning of classrooms and touch points as part of the risk assessment we have in place.

Thank you.

OUR AMAZING FPTA!

Christmas Wreath WorkshopEvery year, our FPTA try to come up with new and exciting activities for families to take part in in order to raised funds for our school.
This latest activity is sure to be a hit and is a great way for mums, dads, grandparents, or the wider Coton community to get together away from the school gates for a catch-up, giggle or natter.
The FPTA Christmas wreath making evening will take place at Coton-in-the-Elms Community Centre in the village. Pupils will have already received a booking form but if you haven’t seen this and would like to attend, please speak with Mrs Mack or Mrs Best on the school yard, or alternatively call the school office on 01283 761361.
We hope to see you there.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Black History Month2

During the month of October, as part of Black History Month, our pupils learnt about our diverse world and honours the important people, events and contributions of inspirational black people.

There was also a common thread linking these amazing people to our school values; perseverance, compassion, excellence as well as enjoyment and awe & wonder.  Through all of their struggles and challenges that life presented them with, they all strove to pursue their end goal and much more, being fantastic role models for those who followed.

Here are some of the many people the children learnt about, who make history in their respective fields:

Alma ThomasAlma Thomas – an African-American artist and teacher who lived and worked in Washington, D.C., and is now recognized as a major American painter of the 20th century.

 

Barack ObamaBarack Obama – an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he was the first African-American president of the United States

 

 

 

Ignatius SanchoIgnatius Sancho – born into slavery and brought to England in the 1700s. Incredibly, he taught himself to read and write and eventually managed to earn his freedom. He went on to be a successful composer and businessman.

Jesse-OwensJesse Owens – an astonishingly gifted athlete who excelled in the 100m, 200m, long jump and relay. In 1935, he managed to set three world records within the space of an hour at a meeting in Michigan. It remains a feat that has never been equaled.

Martin Luther KingMartin Luther King – an African American church leader and the son of early civil rights activist and minister Martin Luther King Sr., King advanced civil rights for people of color in the United States.

 

Rosa ParksRosa Parks – an American activist in the civil rights movement best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery bus boycott.

 

 

 

 

Mary Seacole – a British-Jamaican nurse and businesswoman who set up the “British Hotel” behind the lines during the Crimean War.

 

 

 

 

George Washington CarverGeorge Washington Carver – an American agricultural scientist and inventor who promoted alternative crops to cotton and methods to prevent soil depletion. He was the most prominent black scientist of the early 20th century.

 

 

 

John EdmonstoneJohn Edmonstone – a former enslaved man who taught the young Charles Darwin the skill of taxidermy. This skill helped Darwin preserve the birds that fermented his ideas about evolution.

 

 

 

Bishop Wilfred WoodBishop Wilfred Wood – a Barbadian-British Anglican who was the first black bishop in the Church of England.

 

 

Nelson mandelaNelson Mandela – a South African anti-apartheid activist who served as the first president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country’s first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election.

 

 

 

Dr Mae JemisonDr. Mae Jemison – an American physician and the first African American woman to become an astronaut.

 

 

 

 

The children were so shocked at how black people were treated differently to those of white skin and, as a result, there were so many important discussions which took place across the classrooms:  Should it make a difference to who you are, whether you’re a boy or a girl or what your skin colour is?  They talked about how we can all learn from the difficult lessons in History and how we can ensure we plan for a better future.

A resounding message coming out from all classrooms was that we should be kind to one another and that we are all God’s children and should be treated equally.
