Havering Catering Services Competition
KS1
All KS1 pupils should have received a copy of the picture for the colouring competition and I am looking forward to seeing some of the creative menus they have come up with. Each school taking part will have a winner who will receive a terms worth of school lunches (which will be honoured when they move up to KS2). All winners will then be whittled down to 1 overall borough winner and 2 runners up. The overall winner will win a whole academic years’ worth of school lunches and the recipe on the next menu with the name and school and the two runners up will get 2 terms each of school lunches. The initial individual school winner will be drawn on the 12th July and the overall winners will be announced on 17th July.
KS2
Starting the week of 11th June we will be starting a badge collection on specific days. There are 10 badges to collect in total and over a five week period the collection should be complete. In order to collect them, KS2 pupils need to purchase a school meal on the allocated days to receive the badges. Those who have collected all 10 badges will be entered in to a draw when 2 pupils will win a bike with crash helmet each. The draws will take place in school on 12th July and all winners (2 from each school) will be awarded their prize at the Town Hall on 17th July.
Attendance Update
Well done to Canada class who once again had the highest attendance in Y5&6 at 97.9% . Scotland had the highest attendance in LKS2 at 96.8% and Palau had the highest attendance in KS1 and overall at 99.2%. Well done to them!. The overall attendance was 95.5% which is just below our target of 96%!
