The Chronicle

Dear Parents

I do hope that you have been able to avoid the wintery showers and stormy weather this week.  It is very clear to see that the surrounding fields and ford in Kenilworth have felt the effects of the rainfall this week.  Despite the wet weather, I am sure that the children have managed to exercise outside and burn off some energy.    I know that many of our Key Stage 2 children are participating in Mr Stedeford’s Key Stage 2 Fits a Knockout and mini leagues have now been created.  Don’t worry if you haven’t qualified yet as there is still time.  Your teachers will be let you know how to take part.  There will be a new challenge each week and these only take one minute of your time so everyone can take part.  There will be a grand final for each year group and I look forward to hearing the results, with possibly some photograph or video evidence too.

I would like to wish our Junior 6 children the very best of luck this weekend as many of them are sitting the Princethorpe Entrance Examination.  This year, it will be different to any other, as the examination is online but I know that they are prepared and supported by their families and teachers.  I spoke with the children online this week to personally wish them the very best and I have every faith in each one of them.  They are strong in character and have worked incredibly hard at school and remotely.  Boys and girls, I will be thinking of you all tomorrow, do your best because that is all that we ask of you.

In assembly this morning I was delighted to announce the following Stars of the Week: Katie, Sloane, Thomas, Savannah, Jude, Isaac, Blythe, Ralph, Amalia, Elsie, Henry, Niamh and Henry.  Your certificates will be on their way to you shortly so keep a look out in the post next week.

Bronze awards were awarded to Thea, Felix, Alfie and Francesca in Junior 1G for their kindness and consideration towards others.  Well done to you all for showing such kindness.

There has been more excellent work recognised this week with the following students receiving Da Vinci Awards: In Junior 4 Jia and Olivia received their award for Drama.  Also in Junior 4 Joseph, Arisha, Amelia and Penny received their awards for English.  In Junior 2 Daiya received an award for English. Daiya was the first Junior 2 pupil to receive full Da Vinci this year.  Such super work by all of you; congratulations!

Please do take a look through this week’s Chronicle as we have received many updates from your home learning experiences.

Girls and boys, keep working hard, keep smiling and keep being helpful at home.  I hope that you all have a lovely weekend.

God Bless

Mr Duigan
