Dear Parents/Carers
This week, children in Year 5/6 have been learning classic poetry. We have been studying The Highwayman. Children spent some time learning a verse each to recite. They all tried exceptionally hard and most managed to remember and recall the poem well.
Hares About Town
This summer, if you head into Southend, you are in for a "hare-raising" surprise! The Hares About Town trail starts on the 1st July. There are 30 hares dotted all around the town, each with their own story to tell. Accompanying the hares are over 50 leverets, including our school leveret Lenny.
Miss Wakefield and Mrs Holmes were very lucky to have a sneak preview of all the Hares on Tuesday. They are AMAZING and include a hare that has been created by one of the parents at school. Mrs Cairns' hare "View of Lepus" can be found in Priory Park.
We have been given some trail maps to sell, on behalf of Fair Havens. The suggested donation for these is £1 and we will be selling them at the gate, after school next week.
PE Kit Reminder
Please be reminded that PE kits must consist of: plain navy blue shorts, school T-shirt and black
trainers (not plimsolls). In winter, children should wear a navy blue track suit or sweatshirt
for outdoor lessons.
It has been noticed that some children are wearing PE tops, trousers and shorts which are
black or have logos e.g. Puma and Nike.
We appreciate that if PE kit no longer fits, people are making do with what they have until the summer and this is fine, however, please be mindful of our uniform policy when restocking in the holidays.
Next week, we will be taking part in phase group sports days during our PE lessons. We will remain in our class bubbles and have organised this in line with Government Guidelines.
We will announce the winning house in the newsletter next week.
Have a lovely weekend
Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall.
