Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Our Year 6 children enjoyed visiting Charles Read to judge the pumpkin carving competition. They also enjoyed a treat decorating Halloween biscuits. Thank you to everyone at Charles Read.
Football
This week, 9 of our pupils took part in the small-schools football tournament in Grantham. Entering as defending champions (pre-covid), there was a lot of expectation from themselves and others, but the boys relished the challenge. They started off with a bang, winning their first match comfortably. Throughout the tournament, they faced some very tough opponents, including local rivals and performed admirably throughout. From recovering from being 2-0 down at half time, to a battling draw against the eventual champions; everybody gave it their all. Eventually our team finished fourth, with one solitary, last-minute goal separating them from second place. The boys were a credit to our school throughout the afternoon and performed admirably, especially considering it was their first time back together in two years. I would also like to extend a thanks to those parents who came to help out and support on the day, as well as all of those that continue to help and support their children as we head towards our next challenge. Well done team Corby Glen!!!
Our year 5/6 boys competed at the football tournament at Kings school this afternoon. They were unbeaten until the final team when they conceived a goal in the last minute. The boys played some outstanding football and showed great team spirit. We are very proud of this huge achievement well done to all those involved.
Thank you to our 'Friends of Corby Glen' for a super Halloween disco. A lovely end to a great half term. Have a wonderful half term break everyone!
Mathematics World Cup
Recently, Brambling Class took part in the Numberfit Mathematics World Cup. This involved the children splitting into groups, competing against schools from across the globe in a test of their mathematical prowess. The children all thoroughly enjoyed competing, especially as it encompassed so much physical and wellbeing activity. After all of their hard work, I am pleased to announce that of the two Brambling Class groups that represented our school, one finished in a brilliant 11th place out of 262, and the other finished FIRST...IN THE WORLD!!! We are all so proud of the efforts and achievements of our pupils’ success and we are taking it forward to compete in the World Series throughout the year.
Our school netball team won all of their games in the first round of the schools tournament. Well done team Corby Glen!
We enjoyed a wonderful Harvest festival with Rev Stephen, it was lovely to be back in the church again with our parents. The children thoroughly enjoyed performing their songs and readings. Thank you to all our families who donated we had so many donations we were able to contribute to two food banks.
This Friday is #HelloYellow day, World Mental Health Day please send your child in something yellow or a yellow accessory. This is a little thing we can do to make a BIG difference to young people's mental health.
We had lots to talk about and share on #HelloYellow day. Look at our website for more pictures and some video clips of what our children thought #helloYellow day was all about.
Corby Glen Community! Can anyone join us on Sunday 26th September 1-3pm for a community gardening session at our school. Pop along if you can help. Any seeds, bulbs or plant donations would be great too.
Dear Parents/Carers,
We warmly invite you to our: Macmillan Coffee Morning Friday 24th September 2021 9 am – 10am
The school is supporting this wonderful annual event by holding its own coffee morning on Friday 24th September. We warmly welcome any donations that you are able to provide which will be sold at a reasonable cost. Perhaps you would like to make a cake with your child?
A slice of cake and a coffee will cost £1.00 and any surplus cake will be sold after school to the children. The event will take place in the school hall once you have dropped your child to school.
All proceeds will be sent to the Macmillan Cancer Trust in support of their ongoing work. The event is an opportunity for us all to come together as a school community and share time over a tea, coffee and cake knowing that we are supporting an excellent charity.
If you are able to make, or provide a cake for the coffee morning, please can you send them in to school with your child on Thursday 23rd September or bring them after school on the same day. This will give the staff enough time to prepare for the event. If you are sending in a cake in a tin, please can you make sure that it is labelled.
We look forward to receiving your donations and to welcoming you on Friday.
