Dear Parents/Carers
Happpy Friday folks!
I forgot to add this to last week's blog.
On Thursday 10th November, some of our Year 6 children were invited to take part in a very special VIP table event at lunchtime.
Since the start of the school year, some of our children have been volunteering to help our Midday Supervisors at lunchtimes, supporting the Early Years children to get used to our lunchtime routine.
As a thank you, the Midday Supervisors and the Early Years children hosted a lunchtime party for all of the children who helped. They made thank you cards, gave little gifts of toy puzzles and set a rather fancy table!

YOUTH SPORT BOARD
Congratulations to Ollie, Lexie, Amelie, Violet, Darcie, Tim, Zeni, Isabelle and Isla, who were all selected by Mr Bish from Deanes to be part of the Youth Sport Board this year. Their first virtual meeting will take place in December. I am sure they are all looking forward to having some input into the kids of sporting events Deanes will look to provide in the future.
THE DEANES COMMUNITY BIKE LOAN SCHEME
Through the work of the School Sport Partnership in partnership with schools across Castle Point and Rochford, The Deanes is pleased to be able to offer a bike loan scheme for families.
We will be offering a ‘free of charge’ bike loan scheme with a stock of bikes securely and safely stored at the cycle hub within The Deanes Sports Centre.
In stock, there will be adult bikes and a range of sizes for junior bikes.
Bookings must be made through the scheme coordinator (Ellie Turner-Powell) on email
deanesfamilycycle@yahoo.com
Families will be able to borrow bikes to enjoy recreational riding for adults and children via bike collection/return on either a Monday or Thursday between 4.30-5.30pm. It will be possible to borrow the bikes for a maximum of 7 days.
We will also provide bike accessories as required including: helmets, bike locks and boot racks all free of charge but a fee will be payable if any of these are lost/not returned).
PYJAMA DAY FOR CHILDREN IN NEED!
Today, we all came to school dressed in our pyjamas to raise money for Children In Need. Thank you for your kind and generous donations. Please see next week's newsletter to find out how much money was raised for such a worthy cause.
BIKEABILITY
Don't forget that Bikeability starts next week for some of the children in Year 6. If your child has signed up for the course, they will need to bring their bikes into school from Monday. Please take some time this weekend making sure that they are roadworthy.
Children need to wear sensible footwear (trainers will be fine) and girls can bring a pair of jogging trousers or leggings to change into if they usually wear skirts to school. Please also remember a helmet.
Homework pages have been uploaded to Google Classroom.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
