World Book Day
Thank you to all the parents for making such a wonderful effort for World Book Day. The costumes are amazing and the children have had fun reading their favourite books. Thank you to the parents who attended – this helps to make it a really special day. Books Rule!
Snow Day
Thank you to our parents for sending some wonderful photographs of your ‘Snow Day’. It was lovely to see families having fun in the snow.
Ofsted Report
We had our most recent Ofsted inspection just before Christmas 2019 and were delighted with the findings. The inspector spoke at length to children, parents, governors and staff and she really got a clear understanding of what it is to be a child in Cockton Hill Infants’ School.
Inspection of Cockton Hill Infants’ School by Ofsted
We have been informed that the school will be inspected by Ofsted on 4th and 5th December. You can tell Ofsted your views about the school by completing Ofsted’s online survey, Ofsted Parent View at www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk
Please complete the online survey by 11am on 4th December 2019.
If you prefer you may speak to the inspector at the start of the school day in person or by telephoning the school.
Bling Your Bikes and Scooters
It was fantastic to see how many children came to school today on their bikes and scooters, all decorated with tinsel, baubles and lights! Mr Raine, who organises this event each year to encourage more active journeys to school, was delighted with the response.
All the children in school and nursery paraded around the playground enthusiastically. Well done, everyone!
Shoebox Appeal
Thank you for your donations for the Shoebox Appeal. The children from our school council enjoyed filling the boxes and we were able to take 29 to the Wear Valley Christian Centre where they will be sent on their journey to children in other countries who are in need and will hopefully get joy in receiving them.
Diwali
This week in Reception we have been learning about Diwali – the Hindu festival of light. Throughout the week the children have tried special foods, dressed up and danced to Indian music. The children have listened to the story of Rama, Sita and The Demon King. The children can confidently retell the story remembering that Ravana, the Demon King, had 10 heads, 10 arms and 20 eyes! We compared this story to a non-fiction book called ‘Diwali’ and noticed the differences. We have used chalk and powder paints mixed with water to brush fireworks onto the yard. The children have painted rangoli patterns and made them on the light table with loose parts with superb attention to detail. In the malleable area the children have used clay to make diva lamps. A very busy week!
Forest School
In our final Forest School session, the children were treated to some campfire cooking. During the session the children showed great perseverance when hollowing out their oranges before we filled these with a chocolate cake mix and cooked them on the campfire. The children were excited to taste their creations and had their patience tested as they discovered that cooking on a fire isn’t as easy as using the oven!
