Corner

Good Work Certificates

Teddy has been very busy this week receiving lots of lovely letters and pictures

from the children.

He is getting more independent and has learnt to jump up onto chairs. He now has a new ’comfy spot’ on Mrs Hillyard’s office sofa!

Teddy is supporting the Poppy Appeal with a reflective poppy on

his collar, ready for autumn walks.

He has also been admiring the Scarecrows that have been brought into school for the Scarecrow Festival.

We are asking the children on Monday 11th November to wear World War Two outfits, e.g. evacuees, officers, land girls.

Harvest Assembly & Scarecrows!

Scarecrow Festival Thanks to everyone who came to our Harvest Assembly & Scarecrow

Festival. We had a great collection for Bedworth Foodbank and Rev. Gail from St Giles Church and Angela from the Foodbank joined our

celebrations.

We had an amazing collection of scarecrows, some funny, some scare, some big, some small but all were brilliant and lots of hard work had gone into

making them.

Some photos are included at the back of the newsletter, look out for more on Schudio and our

website, along with the details of the winners.

Thanks to everyone who joined in!

Goodbye

Miss Ruddock, in Daisy Class teacher, is moving on to a new job at a different

school in January. We shall be very sorry to see her go but wish her well. We are delighted to confirm that we have an excellent teacher lined-up to start in January. Mrs Hunter is an experienced teacher, who has worked with us at Exhall Cedars before. We look forward to welcoming her back. She

will be working closely with the Y2 team in December to ensure a smooth transition for

the children.

You may have noticed the team working on the playground in all weathers this week. They have been repainting our playground markings. What a great job they have done! They children are all very pleased and looking forward to some nice

autumn weather to make the most of them.
