Live Fully, Laugh Often, Learn Deeply, Love as God Loves You and Let Your Light Shine

Dear Parents/Carers

We said goodbye to our Chinese teachers

last Friday, on Pyjama Day for Children in Need, and on Secret Shop Day run by the immensely hard-working PTA.

The Greeks visited last

week in a display of great power and authority.

Thank you 6A for your

inspiring assembly.

Mrs Rourke is being prepared to meet

all the visiting maths teachers before last week’s demonstration lessons. Thank you,

hairdressers!

Meet the Ukulele Club who meet

on Fridays. Year 4 are drawing to

the end of their term’s worth of lessons, and then those who wish to continue may join this club.

Thanks to Mr Barlow and all those who

helped the whole of KS2 get to the cinema and back safely and happily on Monday. We all had a great time, walked over 10,000 steps, and the children enjoyed a film packed with meaning and strong values.

Future engineers and animation designers

Lunchtime Menu—Week commencing 27th November 2017

On Monday, a group of children participated in a Boccia, Kurling & Archery Event at

Chelmsford Sport and Athletic Centre. All the children really enjoyed themselves and finished in a highly commendable fourth place.

Congratulations to those children who were selected by West Ham United to

attend their Development Academy, and to all who were invited to the trials.
