Weekly Newsletter : Friday 3rd July 2020
Dear Parents,
As you were aware Miss Parry has been Acting Head of School for the past year.
The Governors were very keen to allow her the time to settle into the role and to put
her mark on the school. However, I can now inform you that following a successful
interview last week Miss Parry is now the permanent Head of School at Carrwood.
I am delighted that Carrwood will have the stability that it needs in the Leadership
Team and I hope that you will wish her well and continue to support
her as she continues to drive the school forwards for your children.
Mrs Nicky Kilvington
Executive Headteacher
Kelsie-Leigh, in Year Six,

What are you reading?
Have you read a book that you’d love to
recommend?
Write a recommendation with title, author, your
name and reason why you’d recommend it. Please
email your recommendations into school, to be in
with a chance of it appearing in next weeks news-
Read it or watch it?
Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers is currently on the CBBC iPlayer. Enid Blyton has sold
over 500 million books. She wrote Malory Towers after the Second World War and
injected her stories with tales of hope and camaraderie. The programmes are often
good but nothing beats reading the book first. Read these books and then
watch the programme – email us to let us know which you prefer
and why..
An Interview with Miss Ulrich
What’s your favourite children’s book and why? My favourite children's book is
Hetty Feather by Jacqueline Wilson. It is set in Victorian London and follows the life story of a
fiery-haired girl who is brought up in the harsh institution of the Foundling Hospital. She is sent to
live with a foster family in the country, where she comes across the dazzling Madame Adelaide
and her six performing horses at the circus. I love historical books and find it very interesting to learn how we
used to live. There are 6 Hetty Feather books in total, each one has a different adventure be it performing as a
mermaid or as the circus ring master. There are also some very funny character names, which Hetty plays on,
such as 'Matron Stinking Bottomly!'
Book or Kindle? Previously, I only read books but recently found that I prefer a Kindle much more as I
can have all of my books in one place. When I’m on holiday, I do prefer books as there is always a book
swap somewhere - a great way to broaden my taste!
Currently reading?
I am currently reading 'Inside The Worm' by Robert Swindells. After we started reading 'Room 13' in Year 4
Ruby as part of our Whitby work, I found the author's work really intriguing as each book has an eerie feel.
Sports Day Challenges
As we are all aware, Sports Day at Carrwood will not be going ahead this year,
but that doesn’t mean Sports Day doesn’t have to happen. We are inviting you to
have a go at Sports Day at home. Each week we will be setting you challenges
that children (and adults) can participate in. You can record yourself or take
pictures and send them in to celebrate your successes on our weekly newsletters or
social media pages.
This week the challenge will be:
Three Legged Race / Hopping Race
Time how long it takes you to get from one side of the garden/room and back by
hopping on one leg.
Ask someone in your household to have a three legged race, if you have space. Tie
your legs together and see how long it takes you to get from one end of the garden
to the other.
Try the races in your house, garden, the park and even in the street if it is
safe to do so (with social distancing rules).
