Dear Parents,

Happy Friday, everybody! This week, the children have been taking part in assessments and they have done us all proud! Every single child has given it their absolute all and that is all that really matters. Next week will be Week 6 - our final full week. Thursday sees the return of our Open Evening. We cannot wait for our children to share all their amazing work and learning from the year. You will also receive your child's report next Friday.

Please see below for important diary dates.

LIBRARY VISIT

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week we visited the Rayleigh library and learnt about our project about Britain 1900-1950. And  it was about how schools were years ago going back to the 1900's and we discussed how it was like back then and the person who was telling about what are learning about is called Karen. If you want to get a library card it would look a bit different to the children's one because the children’s one is green and the adults one is orange 

You can borrow books and you can get 14 at a time so you don't have to come back. which is renewing. Essex has 74 libraries. Everybody who brought a library card got one book or some people got two.Thank you to the workers at the library for letting us go to library and talking about what it was like back then and thank you to the people who took us down to the library.

SPORTS DAY

What a day we have all had. The children had so much fun and were so well behaved. Congratulations to all the winners in the sprints and relays, throwing and jumping events. A massive well done to all the children who showed such determination and enthusiasm. Many thanks go to Miss Sharman for organising all the events. And lastly, a huge thanks to all our lovely families. We hope you enjoyed your day with us!

MEDAL CEREMONY

Apologies that we ran out of time to complete the medal ceremony on Sports Day.

On Monday at 3pm the gates will be open for all parents to come and watch the KS2 winners receive their medals. We hope you can make it.

PSHE - CHANGING ME

This half term in Personal, Social and Health Education we are learning about how to cope with change. This includes learning about change in ourselves as we grow from a baby to how we are now. It also includes a lesson next week in which we will be noting the differences between male and female bodies, using the correct terminology. This lesson is very much laying the foundations for future Relationships and Sex Education, which is now a statutory requirement to be taught in schools. We see this as a crucial part of Safeguarding our children and keeping them safe. We are planning to deliver this lesson on Wednesday 6th July.

UNICEF SHOESHARE APPEAL

Once again on the last day of term we are collecting shoes in partnership with Unicef and Clarks, who will cleverly turn our old shoes into money that will help fulfil the rights of children around the world. You can send your child with a spare pair of shoes on the final day this term so that they can place their unwanted school shoes into our collection box. If you have any other unwanted pairs you can send these in too and if you want to get started early with a big shoe clear out, we will have a box ready to take them from Monday 11th July. Shoes must be in a wearable condition with no holes or broken soles and paired together with an elastic band. You can find out more about Shoeshare here; UNICEF & CLARKS SHOESHARE APPEAL.  Our last collection total was 145 pairs of shoes, let's see if together we can smash this total!
