On 15th October, we were visited by James and Dianne from Generations Church for our Harvest Assembly. Once again the parents and pupils of Great Coates School have been extremely generous and have donated food for the Church Food Pantry. James thanked the pupils and spoke to the children about how important these donations are for the local community.
Parents of pupils in Reception gathered in the hall on Wednesday 14th October for our first parent workshop of the year. Mrs O’Brien introduced the afternoon with a short talk to parents about the Early Years Foundation Stage, how pupils learn in the early years and how parents can support their children at home. They had a go at activities covering each of the areas of the early years curriculum with the children. Everyone had a great time and learnt alot. Thank you to the parents for attending.
On Friday 16th October, some of the best artists in school and the student ambassadors created flags to show what Grimsby means to the children of our school. These have gone to the council to be part of the GY28 Town of Culture bid. Well done to all the pupils involved.

Miss Deans and two of our sports coaches, Mr Francis and Mr Whitfield, had the pleasure of taking our girls football team to Clee Fields for the inter schools football tournament. The girls were a credit to the school and their parents showing determination, skill and excellent teamwork. We had a some great support from parents and it was an excellent experience for the girls.
A great effort from our Year 5/6 boys football team on Wednesday in the inter-schools football tournament at Clee Fields Football Pitches. They worked together well as a team and did the school proud. Well done boys 👏
On Thursday 24th September, Year 4 visited the River Freshney to learn about rivers, wildlife and water safety. We were joined by the very informative James Elliott, otherwise known as the Canoe River Cleaner. The children enjoyed finding out about what James does and went on a wildlife walk. The pupils were inquisitive and asked excellent questions and were knowledgeable about rivers. They were a credit to the school. You can read it on James’s post on Facebook here. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1P6Ve1uz6E/
