• Diversity Day 2024

  Fri 09 Feb 2024

  Following our PSHE Unit ‘Celebrating Differences,’ we had a day to celebrate how diverse we are at The Canons. We listened to an assembly which reminded us that we live in a world full of differences and how great that is, followed by a day wearing clothing or bringing items in that represented our heritage, culture, hobbies and interests. We spent time sharing these with our peers and celebrated the many ways in which we are different.

   

  Well done to all of the pupils for ‘living life in all it’s fullness’ by sharing what makes them, them and listening to and learning from others. A huge thank you to the parents/carers too for their support in making this day a success.

   

  Here are some of our thoughts about Diversity Day:

   

  ‘Diversity Day made us feel that we are all amazing! We did a fashion show to music and took some photos,’ Reception

   

  ‘Diversity Day made me feel happy because I got to wear different clothes,’ Year 1

   

  ‘Diversity means that we are different and we have something special about ourselves. We liked talking about what makes us happy and different,’ Year 2

   

  ‘We know that we are all different and not just because we look different. We are all different, but can all be friends at the same time,’ Year 3

   

  ‘I enjoyed Diversity Day because we were able to celebrate things that we might not normally tell people or what people might not know. We all felt included,’ Year 4

   

  ‘I wore two different shoes to show that everyone is different,’ Year 4

   

  ‘I enjoyed dressing up and talking about us. I understand others a bit more now,’ Year 5

• Celebrating Diversity

  Tue 29 Nov 2022

  Following last year's successful celebration of diversity, last week we had another chance to celebrate diversity at The Canons. We had an assembly to remind us what is meant by ‘diversity’ and discussed why it is important to celebrate our differences. On Friday, we celebrated the diversity in our school by wearing something or bringing something in that represented ourselves or our families.

   

  Some of us:

  • Wore clothing traditional of our culture/faith/nationality
  • Wore clothing to represent a skill/talent we practice such as karate, dancing, gymnastics football, rugby, swimming, fishing…
  • Wore clothing to represent a club that we belong to such as Rainbows, Football, Rugby…
  • Brought in photos of our family
  • Brought in food from their culture to share with the class
  • Brought in items, photos or wore clothing to represent festivals we celebrate
  • Brought in medals, certificates, trophies and even a horse to represent the skills and hobbies we practice
  • Taught our classmates how to say some phrases or write some letters in our home language

   

  We enjoyed sharing these with each other and celebrating the many ways in which we are different.

   

  Well done to all the pupils for making our day to ‘celebrate how diverse we are' a success this year too, and as always, a huge thank you to parents and carers who supported the children in understanding and celebrating what makes them special!

• Celebrating Diversity at The Canons

  Mon 04 Oct 2021

  Last week we had a great time learning about diversity and celebrating the many ways in which we are different. We took part in lots of different activities to help us understand the meaning and importance of diversity such as:

  • Reading stories like ‘The Rainbow People’, ‘Shine’ and ‘It’s okay to be different’ and sharing our thoughts on these
  • Investigating the ways in which we are similar and different to our classmates through circle times and discussions
  • Writing a creative piece of writing on the theme of diversity
  • Creating artwork linked to the importance of diversity
  • Watching ‘The Greatest Showman’
  • Completing homework with the help of our families to understand what represents ‘us’.

   

  We ended our week with a day to celebrate diversity at The Canons where we could wear something or bring something in that represented ourselves or our families.

  Some of us:

  • Wore clothing traditional of our culture/faith/nationality
  • Wore clothing to represent a skill/talent we practice such as karate, dancing, gymnastics football, rugby, swimming, fishing…
  • Wore clothing to represent a club that we belong to such as Rainbows, Football, Rugby…
  • Brought in photos of our family
  • Brought in recipes of meals we cook
  • Brought in items, photos or wore clothing to represent festivals we celebrate
  • Brought in medals, certificates, trophies and even a horse to represent the skills and hobbies we practice
  • Taught our classmates how to say some phrases or write some letters in our home language

   

  We enjoyed sharing these with each other and celebrating the many ways in which we are different.

   

  Well done to all the pupils for making our 'day to celebrate how diverse we are' a success, and a huge thank you to parents and carers who supported the children in understanding and celebrating what makes them special!

• Easter Art Competition

  Wed 31 Mar 2021

  We are running an Easter art competition inspired by the popularity of 'The Walking the way of the Cross' Art trial that was held on the field last week.

   

  It is a school-wide competition, and we want to encourage as many children as possible to enter. It will be based on the Stations of the Cross and we would like to create our own art trail with our own pupils' artwork on display. We will choose a winner for each 'Station' to go on display. 

   

  All the children have been learning about Easter and salvation in their recent RE units of work.

   

  Please look at the newsletter, Seesaw and Class Dojo over the Easter holidays for more information. You can also read through this PowerPoint presentation about it.

   

  The children can represent their chosen station in any creative way that they choose (drawing, painting, collage, sculpture).

   

  Please encourage them to bring all finished artwork in to school during the first week back after Easter to be entered. Ensure the artwork is clearly labelled with the child’s full name, class and the ‘Station’ it represents.

   

  We are looking forward to seeing some creative masterpieces after the Easter break!

   

  Many Thanks,

   

  Miss Broadbent and Mr Charlton

• Warwickshire Police - Operation Snap (Updated February 2020)

  Mon 24 Feb 2020 Office

  WARWICKSHIRE POLICE

  For the attention of all Parents / Guardians

  
  Back in October 2019, we introduced you all to ‘Operation Snap’ which was set up to help reduce demand for frontline Policing. We’re aware that the situation regarding parking is a bone of contention for all those affected, either picking up a student, leaving the immediate vicinity or local residents accessing or exiting their own homes. We are also aware that with the presence of marked Police vehicles and uniformed officers, the matters seems to resolve itself for the period of time we are there.
  Members of the public can still, via a secure online form, submit digital footage showing potential traffic offences. It has many other uses, but can utilised for unsafe and illegal parking near to schools. Fines can then be directly issued from this.
  The secure forms can be accessed on the following link:

  https://www.warwickshire.police.uk/operationsnap

  Since the introduction, we can now confirm we have had just under 500 reports resulting in warning letters, fines and reporting for the offences for Bedworth.

  Whilst this is a very good start, we want to keep pushing this to the front of your minds.

  We are aware that the parking facilities are not ideal around some of the schools, however this is not a reasonable excuse and will not be mitigating reason for exclusion.

  Your children’s safety is paramount to us, as it should be to yourselves.

  Please be considerate to road users and pedestrians around the school especially during dropping off and picking up times.

  Police Officers and Police Community Support Officers are still issuing tickets for those causing unnecessary obstruction of the highway.
  
  All students and staff deserve the opportunity to leave the school safely and get home uninjured.

  If you have any further issues, or something you would like to discuss further, then please contact your local Safer Neighbourhood Team by accessing the team e-mail address on the Warwickshire Police website.
  
  Kind regards,

  Warwickshire Police
