• Rocketman comes to Church Vale

  Thu 22 Feb 2024

  Church Vale Primary had a Rocket launch day. The children all made and tested their rockets and then launched them to see how far they would fly. Although it was a rainy day it didn’t stop the children having a great time. At the end the parents came to see the rockets fly and the launch of the dynamite rocket. ‘This has still not come back down to earth’ the children said. Everyone had a great day, it was very exciting and the children at Church Vale are budding engineers of the future.  

  

• Chocolate warning

  Wed 29 Nov 2023

  We have been informed that the police are currently investigating reports of people falling ill after consuming chocolate wrapped in gold packaging over the weekend. There have been some allegations that this chocolate is laced with drugs, tests are in the process of being carried out but at present there is no evidence to support claims that the chocolate bars contained any illicit drugs. The chocolate bars were reportedly sold in orange ‘Cali-Gold’ boxes and golden wrappers on Saturday (25 November) in Mansfield Market.  

   

  Anyone who bought any of this chocolate is asked to contact Nottinghamshire Police immediately on 101, quoting incident 180 of 26 November 2023. If you have already eaten this chocolate and developed symptoms, please call NHS 111 or contact your GP. The small number of people who became unwell have fully recovered. Investigations are ongoing about what may have caused the illness. If you have purchased ‘Cali-Gold’ chocolate from Mansfield Market, you should not consume the product or give it to anyone else and should hand it to the police.

  

• Coronation Picnic

  Thu 04 May 2023

                                                                                                                                                                    

                                                                                                               Dear Parent/Carer,

                                                                        

  Just a reminder that our Coronation picnic is happening at 1.30pm on Friday the 5^th of May. We have cakes, BBQ, sweets, drinks, ice cream van, ice pops and our world-famous chocolate tombola happening too. Please bring coins, not notes if possible.

  If you would like to join, please do, bring a blanket or a chair and make a camp on our field. The children can share your picnic and play. Please feel free to leave when you have had enough but please only take your own children. Collect your child from their class teacher from the field - they should be there when you arrive.

  If you cannot make it your child will still take part but will be with their class teacher. They can bring money and some snacks. We do understand that not everyone can make it.

  The children will be bringing home with them a commemorative coin to mark the historic occasion. Please make sure they do not lose them or break them as we have only bought one per child.

  Children can wear red, white, and blue if they like for the picnic.

  In the event of rain, the picnic will most likely be cancelled and rearranged. We will keep our fingers crossed. Look out for texts - if a decision is to be made, we will cancel at the latest by 10.00am Friday morning. 

                   

                          

                                                                           

                

   

   

   

• Sunsafe Letter

  Thu 14 Jul 2022

  Dear parents/carers,

                                                    Your children have coped well with the hot weather so far but as temperatures set to hit 34 degrees next week, I wanted to send some guidance out for you and to let you know what we are doing.

   

  To try and keep your children safe at school we will only be letting them outside to sit in the shade and to do quiet play/book reading. Water is freely available in school but please send your child with any water bottle- it doesn’t have to be a school one. At the hottest part of the day, we will keep the children in the shade or, if necessary, inside. They will not be playing football etc.

   

  To help your child, could they wear light, loose fitting clothes-they don’t have to wear uniform. Nothing with shoulders exposed or shorts that are inappropriate for school. They need to wear a hat and have their water bottle with them. Please send sunscreen too, labelled with their name and know how to apply it. Make sure any child that needs an inhaler has theirs with them and it is in date.

   

  We shall be watching the children carefully for signs of heatstroke, these are the things to watch out for:  

  • a headache
  • dizziness and confusion
  • loss of appetite and feeling sick
  • excessive sweating and pale, clammy skin
  • cramps in the arms, legs and stomach
  • fast breathing or pulse
  • a high temperature of 38C or above
  • being very thirsty
  • floppy and sleepy children

  If your child is showing any of these symptoms at school, we will be sending them home straight away so that you can monitor them and seek medical advice if necessary.

  Any further concerns or anything you wish to discuss please contact the school office.

  Thank you,

  Mrs Yardley
