    • Happy ‘ShoesDay’ – Tuesday, 30th September

    October is Walk to School Month, and to kick this off, we will be having a Happy ‘ShoesDay’ on Tuesday, 30th September. Children can wear their favourite shoes to school – shoes that make them happy (no heels please) – to celebrate walking. Please encourage your children to walk/scoot/cycle to school as much as possible in October. Thank you!

     

    • Apply for Pupil Premium Funding: Some of our families may entitled to Free School Meals funding (FSM), which can be used by the school to pay for additional support such as extra tuition, mentoring or after school activities etc. The school would receive this funding as Pupil Premium Funding. If you think that you may be eligible, you can check by going online to https://pps.lgfl.org.uk/ and clicking on “Check Eligibility”. We will receive a notification from Haringey if you are eligible.

    • Instrumental Lessons

    If your child has instrumental or vocal lessons in school it may be necessary for them to miss part of their break or lunch time to attend their lesson. Children will never be asked to miss the part of lunch when they are eating. This should only happen once or twice a term and will be organised on rotation. Instrumental teachers will explain this to their pupils; it would also be helpful if you could also explain this to your children.

    • Before and After School Provision - Bookings

    Thank you to all the parents and carers who book their chid/children’s wrap around provision on Arbor before the booking window closes.

    We would like to remind all other parents and carers that the booking window for Breakfast club is open until 7.30am on the day and the Afterschool provision is open for bookings until 12.00 noon on the day. You can book ad-hoc for the day, for the week or the month. Please make sure that you book on time as the office is not able to make late bookings for you. You will need to top-up before you can book. All top-ups must be done specifically for the club that you want. Thank you.

    • Pick up from Activity clubs and Night Owls (After school provision) – Late Pick-Up

    Thank you to all the parents and carers that pick up their children on time from our after-school provisions. We would like to remind parents and carers, that there is a charge of £5 for every 5 minutes that parents/carers are late in picking up. Please also be reminded that we reserve the right to withdraw the after-school provision for any persistent late pick-ups.

    • Wellies REQUIRED for Green School

    If your child is in Nursery, Reception, Year 1, Year 3 or Year 4 then they MUST have a pair of named wellies which they keep at school for their Green School lessons. This is compulsory - and just as important as their PE kit.  We go out even in wet weather, and if children don’t have wellies, they bring a lot of mud into the school, which is a safety hazard.  Wellies are waterproof and quick to put on and take off, so better than old shoes.  If you are not able to provide wellies for your child, please speak to your child’s class teacher and we will see what we can do to help. Thank you.

    • Flu Vaccinations - Reception to Year 6 – IMPORTANT – Please complete even If you DO NOT want your child to receive the vaccine!

    Coldfall Recipe Book

    Please find attached a recipe book ‘Love Food, Love Your Planet’ containing recipes contributed by the children to make something delicious from food that might otherwise go to waste.

    We are trying to reduce food waste at school (and home) as throwing away food is very bad for the planet, and we invited the children to send in suggestions for how to do this. We hope you’ll enjoy their recipes and perhaps try some of them over the summer!

    Well done and thank you to all the children who sent in recipes!

    Year 5

    Year 5 have been learning about Fairtrade this term, exploring how it impacts communities around the world and supports ethical trade. To mark the end of this topic and the school year, we will be holding a Year 5 picnic on the school field on the afternoon of Thursday 17th July.

    We would love each child to bring in a small item of food to share, which includes at least one Fairtrade ingredient. This can be something homemade or shop-bought, and may be either sweet or savoury.

    Please note that this event will take place during the school day and is for students only. Parents are not invited to attend.

    A few important reminders:
    • All food must be nut free.
    • If your child has a gluten intolerance or any other allergy or dietary need, they are welcome to bring something suitable for themselves.
    • Please clearly label any items that are gluten free, dairy free, or suitable for other dietary requirements.

    We are looking forward to a lovely afternoon and thank you for your continued support.

    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.

    Whole School

    Coldfall and the RNLI

    The RNLI (The Royal National Lifeboats Institution) will be visiting Coldfall on Friday 6th June to deliver some workshops in upper KS2 and to film some promotional material for their education campaigns. (Photo permission forms will be sent separately). We will be planning some whole school fundraising activities so that we can give them a donation on the day. If you or your children would like to take part in any additional fundraising for this worthwhile charity, you could consider taking part in the Mayday Challenge (walking/running/cycling one mile a day for the month of May) or planning your own sponsored event. If you do want to fundraise, or if I can be of any assistance, please let me know. (From Mr Descrettes.)

    Fundraising

    Belle in Year 5 is taking part in the Big Fun Walk with her mum to raise funds for North London Hospice in honour of Gina Manley. If you would like to donate, please follow the link below.

    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.

    Injuries

    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.
