Year 5's Brazil visit Tower of London!
On Friday, Brazil were the last Year 5 class to visit the Tower of London. We had so much fun discovering the different towers and the history that the Tower of London holds. We spent our morning visiting the crown jewels, learning all about the two missing princes and even saw the spot where Henry VIII's second wife Anne Boleyn was executed! We then finished the day off with a fantastic pirate workshop and a few of us even got involved!

Dedicated Dads event Thursday 1st of February
The next Dedicated Dads event with CAMHS is on Thursday 1st February 2024 in Hornchurch Fire Station (RM11 1SH) at 6-7pm. This would be a great opportunity for Dads speak to HEST and CAMHS about their children’s emotional health and wellbeing. It would also be a good place to socialise with fellow Dads from schools across Havering. We have received feedback about the helpfulness of this event and hope that more Dads will join in the upcoming event.
If any Dads are interested in attending, please kindly let them know by emailing this address (MHSThav@nelft.nhs.uk). Thank you as always for your support.

Dear Parents and Carers,
Pupils in Key Stage 2 represented Mead at the O2 Young Voices concert last Friday. The children spent a very long day in rehearsals before performing to the audience in the evening. The children had worked incredibly hard learning the songs in readiness for the concert and gave it their all. A huge thank you to Mrs Kumszczynska for organising and preparing the choir and also to Mrs Bodle, Mrs Tull and Mrs Porter for supporting the children and making it possible for them to participate. Well done Mead Choir!

End of day collections
If your child is being collected by a different person at the end of the day, please inform the school. If we have not been informed, we will not be able to let your child go until we have spoken to you and have verbal permission, This is part of our safeguarding procedures. Thank you for your understanding.
Appointments
Please be aware that as we continue to improve our attendance and punctuality in school you will be asked for proof of appointments when collecting early or arriving late. This is to allow us to authorise the absence. Proof of appointments can be in the form of a text message or appointment card that can be shown to the office team which will inform the pupils attendance record. Thank you in advance for your support. If you have any queries please speak to Mrs Corless, Attendance Officer.
