Dear
Parents/Carers,
We hope
you are having a lovely weekend and enjoyed the football celebrations!
Thank you
to all those parents who were able to attend our Farm open day and our sports
day. Despite the heat, the children all did an amazing job, persevering and
tackling each activity. We are waiting to find out which class scored the most
points overall and will reveal the winner shortly.
Well done
to Barbados class who had 100% attendance last week and to celebrate will be
having a cupcake party on Monday.
We have
another busy week ahead planned, with each class visiting Central park and
having their class picnic. The children will be busy making jam sandwiches in
preparation for their visit.
A little
reminder Wednesday is our PE day, please ensure your child has their named PE kit in school. We
have a lot of lost property accumulating in school which cannot be returned to
their rightful owner as they are unnamed.
With our
continued heatwave, please ensure your child comes to school with a sun hat,
sun cream and water bottle.
If your
child has needed a change of clothes, could you please ensure these are sent
back into school as we now have no spare clothes in school!
This week
is Week 3 of the Havering catering services. Monday's choices are:
Red- Hot
dog with Wedges
Blue- Cheesy Tomato
Pasta Pot
Green- Veggie hot dog
with Wedges
