Whole School

Photo Day 11th June

Tuesday 11th June is class photo day! Please can children come in in their uniform polo shirts even if it is their PE day or Sports Day. They can bring a PE T shirt to change into. Sports day will not be affected by the photos.

It would be nice to take a photo of the Year 6 classes in their uniform and one in their hoodies if possible.

Dressing for the weather

As the weather is very up and down at the moment, please ensure children are dressed and prepared for the weather. Sun cream should be applied before school, and children should still bring a waterproof jacket to school in case of rain. We want children to be able to play outside even if it is a little wet. Thank you.

Head Lice

We continue to have several cases of head lice throughout the school. Please would you kindly check your child’s hair thoroughly over the weekend, and if necessary, treat them immediately to avoid further infection. You can treat head lice without seeing a GP, or you can speak to a pharmacist for a recommended treatment. You should check everyone in the house and start treating anyone who has head lice on the same day with ongoing weekly treatments for a duration of at least three weeks. Thank you.

Summer Reading Challenge/ Book Clubs

The children have been given their first book for the Summer book club: Rune. The Y6 Book Club will be on Monday 16th June at 1.15. The Y4 Book Club will be on Friday 20th at 1.15. Mrs Gardner will let the Y5 children know when their book club will be.

Italian Brainrot

‘Italian Brainrot’ are AI generated cartoon characters that are popular on TikTok, Youtube Shorts and games like Roblox. They include characters such as: Ballerina Cappuccina, Bombardiro Crocodilo and Tralalero Tralala. I’ve heard many children mention these names in the corridor.

We strongly advise that children do not watch 'Italian Brainrot' content, or only do so under your supervision with extreme caution. The characters and videos often include surreal, chaotic humour that may seem harmless but can contain offensive stereotypes, inappropriate language, or disrespectful portrayals of religion and culture—including Islam. While some of the content may appear silly or nonsensical, it can desensitise children to harmful ideas or make them repeat phrases without understanding their meaning or impact.

Tesco Stronger Starts

We are pleased to announce that you will be able to vote for Coldfall for Tesco Stronger Starts from July 2025 until the end of September 2025. The school could win up to £1500 to improve our OPAL play even further. This will be available at Colney Hatch Tesco Extra, Brent Cross Super Store, Finchley Super Store, New Barnet Express and many more. Thank you for your support

Picking up from school, Nursery, Activity Clubs and Night Owls

Once you collect your children, please do not remain on the school site. You should collect your child on time and then exit the site straight away. Children who have been collected are not permitted to play on the climbing frame etc. Thank you.

Parking

Please do not park in the disabled parking spaces near the school under any circumstances. These spaces designated for specific residents, not the school. This issue frequently causes disputes with local residents with disabilities who are prevented from using the spaces to access their homes/vehicles.

Choir and Junior Chorus Assemblies

On Friday 4th July Junior Chorus will be performing in a whole school assembly. Parents of children in Junior Chorus are invited to attend.

On Friday 11th July the Choir will be performing for the whole school at 9am. Parents of children in the Choir are invited to attend.

Sweets/Party Bags

A reminder not to allow children to bring any sweets to school (including delivering party bags from parties at the weekends). Some children are not allowed to eat sugar for various reasons and this can cause difficulties for them.

Term Dates

On 27th June the school will be open as normal and before and after school provision will be available as usual.

The Summer Term will end on 18th July.

Lost Property

Please note any clothing that is not clearly named will be donated to Friends of Coldfall each Friday for their second-hand uniform sales.

Any named lost property will be returned to your child’s class or can be collected from the playground every Friday after school.

Year 2

As part of our geography curriculum, we will be learning about ‘What goes on at an airport and a train station?’ To bring this to life, we are organising an in-school Airport Day on Friday 13th June 2025. The children will participate in lots of activities in the classroom and playground to support their learning.

Children can wear ‘summer holiday’ shorts and t-shirts but sensible trainers/shoes. Please can they also bring a small item of luggage (backpack or small suitcase) as we will be making airport style luggage labels and checking in luggage for our flight!

There is no need to buy anything new for the day. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to speak with your class teacher.
