Parents' Evening 

It has been wonderful to see so many families at our spring term parents’ evenings this week. As well as getting a chance to talk to your child's teacher, you've told us that you enjoyed being able to look through books and find out more about our curriculum. We know that children do best when school and families work together so thank you to everyone who was able to attend. Unfortunately, we are only able to offer an appointment on an alternative date in the case of truly exceptional circumstances - if you would like to discuss this and make arrangements, please speak to Ms Seamons or Ms Phillips.

 

Term Dates Reminder 

Next week is the last week of the spring term. The last day of school is Thursday 28th March and we finish at 1.30pm. We hope you all have a restful break and look forward to welcoming children back to school on Monday 15th April at 8.40 am.

 

Class Photos 

On Tuesday, our professional photography team will be in school to take the annual class photos. If you need to withdraw your child from this, please speak to a member of the senior leadership team. 

 

Reception visit to beautiful Wanstead Park 

On Monday and Tuesday, Reception children and teachers caught the bus to Wanstead Park. We had a fantastic time looking at the tree blossom and playing in the playground. At the park, we spent a lot of time practising our balancing skills and looking for minibeasts. We had a wonderful time!

Easter Holiday - Free Sports Programme

If your child is aged 4-8, you may be eligible for a place on a free holiday sports programme run by Mini Athletics! There are still a few places available so do check out the website to see if you are eligible for a place.

 

You can see the full menu of funded holiday programmes available in the local area here.



Library Visits 

Over the next couple of months, classes will be going on their annual visit to Manor Park library as part of our reading curriculum. It's a great opportunity for children to be inspired by the wide range of books available to borrow for free! If you would like to know the date that your child is going, you can speak to your class teacher or to a member of staff at the gate. 

 

Don't forget, the library is a great place to visit at the weekend or during the school holidays - they often have special events in the holidays so pop down to your closest one or give them a call to find out more. Contact details for all Newham libraries are here.

 

Lost Property 

Lots of lost property was collected by families at Parents’ Evening. Next week, we will be donating the remaining items to charity - please pop into the office on Monday if you want one last chance to check the box for belongings.

 

RHE Parent Workshop - Reminder

Our Relationships & Health Education workshop will take place on Monday 25th March at 2.45 pm. Please come to the main office to join the session.

After the holidays there will be some changes to morning football clubs. All morning football clubs are mixed gender and run from 8:00- 8:30 am. Please arrive on time to make the most of the session. If your child already has a place, there’s no need to apply again. Please sign up on Arbor from 6pm today.

Sheringham Share Shop 

Well, our first ever Share Shop was a success! During Parents’ Evening, lots of you have given some clothing or books a new home - we hope you enjoy your new items and thank you for getting involved in reusing items instead of buying new! All these little actions are steps towards a more sustainable planet. We hope to run more Share Shops in the future, so watch this space! If you have any questions about it, please speak to Ms Edwards or a member of the leadership team.
