Dear Parents/Carers,
Dear Parents and Carers,
We have come to the end of a very busy half term, full of learning, school trips and extra -curricular experiences. Thank you for all your ongoing support and we wish you a very happy half term break. School opens at the usual times on Monday 1st June.
Thank you to all our parents and carers who came into school today to look at their child’s learning. It was wonderful to see the children sharing and celebrating their achievements.
This week our thought of the week has been ‘How can I stay active?’ We discussed this in assembly and in our class. Our pupils are very active and many shared the great opportunities they have outside of school too. These included football, dance, martial arts and boxing. Many children also explained how they love to play outside, in the garden or at the park with friends and family. Enjoy being active over the half term break.
We have a large number of school coats in our lost property. If you child is missing a school coat please check with the school office.
We are pleased to share that our local football team, Dagenham and Redbridge are hosting a football camp on their site over half term. Please see the flyer below for more information.
Please see the link below for a half term dance club at the Riverside Church, Parsloes Avenue
