This week at Walsgrave…
Sports Week 2017
Dear Parents/ Carers,
The children at Walsgrave C of E Academy have been fantastic this week in braving
the hot weather. Even though we have had 3 days in school with temperatures well
over 30 degrees Celsius, the children have been so sensible, kind and considerate to
each other. A child in Year 1 went and sorted out water and a sunhat for a friend
who was really struggling with the heat – lovely!
Parent Questionnaire 2017
As a school, we are constantly seeking ways to improve and we recognise how
important your feedback is in supporting us in this process.
Our parental questionnaire has gone digital, which will
hopefully make this far easier for you to complete. I’d be
very grateful if you could complete this by Friday 30th June.

PTA Summer Fayre – Friday 14th July from 1:30pm
There are not many weeks to go before we have our Summer
Fayre. The PTA have been busy, behind the scenes, making final
preparations for what will be a really fun family event. If you
are interested in running a stall, please register this at the
school office. (There is a nominal charge of £10 per stall.) We would also appreciate
any donations of bric-a-brac, toys, books or cakes. (Please only bring in cakes during
the week of the fayre.) On Friday 7th July we will be holding a non-uniform day in
exchange for donations of bottles for our bottle tombola stall. More information
from the PTA to follow separately soon.
A lovely sunny sporting week coming up
at Walsgrave C of E Academy next
week.
*Throughout the week the children
will be carrying out ‘healthy lifestyle’
activities to encourage them to eat
and live well.
*On Wednesday we will be having our
annual Sports Day. We will be asking
the children to wear their sports kits
all day and to bring in £1 to donate to
important charities, which currently
feature in the news. KS1 Sports Day
start at 9:20am with KS2 Sports
Day at 1:30pm.
*On Thursday afternoon we will be
having our Fun Run, asking children to
get sponsored at home for the number
of laps they complete.
We look forward to seeing as many of
you as possible during next week!
I hope you have a lovely weekend with your families. If you have a spare moment on
Saturday at 2:30pm, Miss Dymek, Mrs. Freckleton and myself will
be abseiling down Coventry Cathedral for the Global Care charity.
I’m starting to feel a little nervous!!

News from around the School
KS1
Year Two have had a lovely week learning all
about explorers and their discoveries in
history. The children learnt that explorers
helped us find the world that we see today.
They then created a timeline to show their
knowledge and understanding of these
exciting events. The children then had the
opportunity to be designers when they
designed their own pirate ship. The children
have
thoroughly
enjoyed
our
theme so
far this
term.
Lower KS1
Wow 4M's maths
set has been busy
this week. They
have been
investigating 3D
shapes and their
properties. During
the week they had
the chance to build some 3D shapes
and note down how many vertices,
edges and faces
they had. Why
don't you ask them
what is special
about a cone?
EYFS
On Wednesday 21st June the children in
Nursery raised money for Barnardo's by
taking part in a Big Toddle. Grownups were
invited to join us and we walked around part
of the field 5 times, after all that hot fun we
cooled off with an ice pop.
Thank you so much to everyone who came in
to help with the Toddle and to everyone who
sponsored the children. We've raised £140 in
total.
Upper KS2
It has been another busy week in Year 6 with our focus well and
truly being on the upcoming production 'School of Rock'. The
children have been learning lines,
fine tuning their acting and
practicing songs to melt your heart
and amuse. Not long now until our
first performance- we can’t wait!
