Weekly Newsletter - 22/03/24

 


Dear Parents and Carers,

A huge well done to the Mead Primary New Age Kurling team for winning the London Youth Games yesterday. They had previously won the local competition and had the chance to represent Havering against the other London Boroughs. This is an amazing achievement and we are so proud of you!


Book Fair

Mead School will be hosting a book fair between Tuesday 23rd April - Monday 29th April.

Please come along and purchase some new books for your children. Each book purchased will help our school to raise funds to put towards new books for the children in our school. The children will be able to use their £1 book token off of any book purchased. The book tokens will be given out to the children next week. Times and the location will be shared nearer the time. You can browse available books at https://shop.scholastic.co.uk/


Bookmark Competition

We are thrilled to announce our exciting 'Make Your Own Bookmark' competition for all children at Mead Primary School! This will give the children an opportunity to showcase their artistic talents while promoting a love for reading. Children may use any materials they wish e.g. paper, card, lolly sticks, or 3D creations.

Children need to bring in their bookmarks by Thursday 18th April. Please ensure that your child's name and class are clearly marked on the back of their bookmark.

There will be a total of 5 winners selected. Each winner will receive a £5 voucher to be used at our upcoming Book Fair, scheduled to take place at the school between 23rd April and 29th April after school.

Remember, the more you spend on books at the fair, the more books the school will receive as a reward. Every purchase contributes to building our school library and supporting literacy initiatives.

Attached, you'll find some images to inspire your child's creativity. Let their imagination soar as they design their very own bookmark masterpiece!

We can't wait to see the incredible bookmarks! Thank you for your continued support in fostering a love for reading.
