Dear Parents/Carers

Here we are at the end of the first half term of the school year.  The children have worked so hard and we are very proud of them.

Although they have homework during half term, we would like them to have a good rest too.

Christmas Cards

Today, your child has come home with their Christmas card design which they can get professionally made into their very own cards. 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 and speech outlining 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.



Have a lovely half term.
Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
