Dear Parents,

Welcome back to what promises to be a very long but eventful 7 weeks before we break up for the summer holidays. I hope you were able to make the most of the fine weather, while the children were home, last week. Sadly it didn’t last into this week so our year 5 pupils had to endure a day of torrential rain and high winds on their residential trip to Mersea. Despite this they had a wonderful time and all returned happy but very tired. The teachers praised the pupils for their fantastic behaviour and excellent attitude- they really showed great resilience.

Some of our year 6 pupils are going to Mersea for their residential trip on Monday-let’s hope they too have a fabulous time-I believe the weather forecast is slightly better!

Our year 1 pupils start their phonic screening testing next week-Good luck to them!

Summer Sun
After the rainfall this week, I am hoping that we will start to experience some warmer weather soon. I would like to ask all parents to ensure that children have sun protection applied before they arrive at school. . It is also recommended that children bring caps/hats into school to wear during outdoor times. We will ensure that pupils have access to plenty of water throughout the day to keep them fully hydrated. Thank you for your support and co-operation in this matter.


Have a fabulous weekend

Yours sincerely,

Mrs L Smith
Headteacher
