Parent Update

West Chinnock Parent

This week a thank you goes out to all our parents and carers for the unwavering support you provide to our pupils. In recent weeks, I have been particularly impressed by the genuine care and awareness for the well-being of others shown by pupils. This sense of empathy is a testament to the values we uphold in our community.

There is a strong sense of belonging, purpose and a genuine concern for the feelings and thoughts of others at West Chinnock. This was evident at the cross-country event on Monday where children ran the very long course at Aldon Hill encouraging each other, proudly wearing their new team bibs.

The Parent Coffee event was well attended, with a special thank you to everyone who came along. It provided the opportunity for parents to connect and learn more about the vital work being done to support pupil well-being. Thank you to SENDCO, Mrs Jaggard, and our Emotional Literacy Support Assistant, Mrs Brimble for presenting the work they do and for their dedication to supporting our pupils. 

This week, pupils and staff celebrated World Book Day, where we were impressed by the creativity displayed in costumes and the book cover competitions.  On the same day and in the spirit of community, we had a visitor from the UK Parliament who spoke to our Key Stage 2 pupils about democracy, the work of parliament and British values.

Lastly, children from Acorn Class visited Carymoor and learned about the seasons and their effects on wildlife and plants. They enjoyed activities, including a muddy walk to spot signs of S Updatepring and even discovered a crested newt! The day was filled with fun, from making pretend pizzas to planting cress seeds and playing bingo outside, using their senses to explore the natural world around them.
