CNS Summer Event: Sunday 24 June 1-4pm
            CAN YOU HELP?
Car boot pitches are filling up fast; Dr Bike and Pedal Revolution are working on our bike challenge; the driving school cars are raring to go to give all those big enough to reach the pedals a chance to drive a real car around the CNS field.  Students have come up with a variety of ideas for stalls and activities to run alongside the car boot. Full event details can be found on the flyers that CNS students will be bringing home as well as in the latest e-Echo and on the school website.
So can you help out with the few remaining tasks that need doing?  We are looking for:
- Books for the book stall
- Plants for the plant stall
- Cakes, biscuits and any other refreshments
All of the above can be delivered to school either before or during the event.
We also need some more helpers to come in on the afternoon of Saturday 23rd to help sort out the gazebos and bunting; plus some extra hands to help out on the day.
If you can help with any of the above please contact Alison on 01603 250135 or at alisoncoyle@btinternet.com, or leave a message at the school office.
If you are unable to help with the preparation please do come along on the day to have some fun with members of the school association and local community. All proceeds from the day will go towards more picnic tables and chairs for our students.



Message from Mr Nixon

This week we had the year 6 into 7 Parents’ Evening and my thanks to all those who attended and a very special welcome to those reading the E-echo for the first time.  Starting something new often carries with it a mixture of emotions including excitement and concern and that is natural. 

The start is important whether it be a piece of music, the first page of a book or the open minutes of a sporting event.  Those who get a “good start” have often put in a great deal of preparation beforehand making sure they are well equipped and in the right frame of mind.  They may even have visualised what may happen in the opening minutes and how they would deal with possible events.  Those who succeed often give themselves lots of “starts” by breaking down an event into different sections and not looking too far ahead.  In the weeks to come, Wimbledon players will be trying to win one point at a time rather than thinking a set ahead.  That way the task is manageable and all the effort is put into the here and now.  To achieve a long term goal you have to work hard in the short term.
