Happy Half Term!

Hello everyone!

WOW! We have reached the end of our first half term at school and what a busy one it has been. The children have settled into school life so well and I am very proud of how well they have adapted. 

Today the children have brought home an art folder, this has all the drawings they have been busy creating this half term. Also within the folder are the latest sound cards for this week. As before, I have updated the Phonics section on the Early Years part of the school website and it now includes the sounds from this week. These can be found here. 

Christmas Cards

Also in your child's art folder, you will find a white envelope containing their Christmas card design. This design can be professionally made into Christmas cards and other items. There is a covering letter which explains the process and how you can order your child's cards online should you wish to. If you have placed an order, tick the box on the sheet to show you have and then you must bring the design back into school on Monday 1st November as they are being collected to send to the print studio to be manufactured.

School Council Elections

In the first week back after half term, each class will be holding an election to choose one person to be part of our new school council. During half term, you might like to discuss with your child whether they would be interested in standing in this election. Discuss how a member of the school council needs to be a good listener but also able to express their own ideas and those of their class during meetings. Children choosing to stand might also like to create a poster showing why they think they would be a good candidate for the council. We look forward to sharing the results of the election at the end of our first week back. Happy campaigning!

Harvest Festival Collection

Thank you so much to all of you that have contributed to our Harvest Festival collection this year for South Essex Extended Services. Every single donation does make a difference and is given to children and families in our own local community that need it the most. 

RRS A 27: Every child has the right to a standard of living good enough to meet their physical, social and mental needs.

Finally, I look forward to meeting with you tomorrow. 

Have a lovely half term!
