Thank you to all parents who attended parents evening this week. We hope that you enjoyed the opportunity to meet with your child’s class teacher to discuss their learning journey. Many thanks to all of the parents who attended the RWI session on Monday, we do hope that you found this informative.

New menu 

Havering catering services have a new menu that will be starting after half term. The new menu is packed with healthy vegetables and tasty treats to tantalise those taste buds. Remember, that school lunches are free for all pupils. 


Fundraising

We have 300 wristbands for Adventure Island priced at £15 each. This is a great day out for the whole family and at a reduced price. If you would like to purchase wristbands they are available from the school office before and after school, cash only please. 

Mothers’ Day Sale
Once again this year we will be selling Mothers’ day gifts. These are priced at £3 per gift. There are a variety of gifts available, key rings, socks and pretty coasters. If your child would like to purchase a Mothers’ Day gift please send the correct money in an envelope clearly marked with your child’s name and class on the front along with the number of gifts required. You can start to send in money from Monday 12th February, Pupils will choose their gifts after the half term break in time for Mothers’ day on Sunday 10th March. 


World Book Day
As usual, the school is taking part in WORLD BOOK day on Thursday 7th March. Children are asked to come into school dressed as their favourite book character.   You can join us in building your child’s enthusiasm for books well beyond World Book Day by reading together regularly and joining your local library if you are not yet a member. For more information about World Book Day, ideas for World Book Day costumes and ideas on sharing books at home, visit worldbookday.com.
You will be receiving a voucher today which the children are able to exchange for a book at any participating bookshop.
