Years 5 and 6 had a wonderful day with Vanessa from the Thames Explorers Trust earlier this week. They

explore pathways across rivers, seas and oceans whilst playing games and working collaboratively in teams.

Purple Class had a wonderfully arty afternoon this

week with some special visitors. The children used

acrylic paints and a plethora of objects they had

collected from the seaside to create some lovely

miniature collages. A huge thanks to Mrs Morris for

inviting our special visitors in to share their artistic

expertise. The children had a thoroughly

enjoyable afternoon.

Holidays in Term Time

We would like to politely remind our families that

we have no discretion to authorise holidays

during term time. The Government and Ofsted

remain vigilant in their campaigns for 100%

attendance for every child.

We hope you found the recent

‘Autumn 2018 Attendance Update’ sheet useful.

This week, Yellow Class had the fantastic opportunity to take part in the Castle Point and

Rochford Dance Festival at the Palace Theatre. The children have been working really hard to

master the routine to ‘You Can’t Stop The Beat’ from Hairspray in their PE sessions and

thoroughly enjoyed performing in front of their parents and 11 other schools. Well done!
