‘The best that I can be’
Dear parents/ carers,
This week has been packed with fabulous Christmas activities.
Singing in Romford Shopping Hall
‘Shoop’ conducted the school choir on Wednesday, as they sang beautifully for shoppers in Romford Shopping Hall. We had a collection bucket with us which Michelle, the Centre Manager, circulated amongst the shoppers. We raised a fantastic £106.62 towards the Playground Project. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Chagger and Mrs. McCormack for transporting the children and all the parents who came to support.
Cinderella- You Shall go to the Ball!
West End in Schools treated us to a fantastic pantomime in school on Tuesday afternoon. The children really enjoyed the show and the singing was amazing.
‘The Wind in the Willows’ at Brentwood Theatre
What a fabulous time we all had at Brentwood Theatre yesterday: the show was fantastic and the children behaved really well. Please ask them about the show and who their favourite characters were. Each child has been given a free ticket to return to the show (accompanying adults and siblings will need to pay).
Christmas Lunch
We had a lovely Christmas lunch today and enjoyed wearing our Christmas hats and jumpers. Thank you, Debbie, for cooking it for us!
Netball: Dame Tipping vs Clockhouse
Our new netball team made a valiant effort against the very proficient Clockhouse team on Wednesday. Whilst they didn’t win, they showed spirit and determination. Thank you to Mrs. Fletcher for coaching the team and organising the match. It was lovely to see so many parents cheering them on.
Doors and Security
We are having trouble closing our front and back doors at the moment. They are due to be replaced in the New Year. Until then, please make sure the door is slammed shut when you leave (check by trying to open it after you exit). If you are unable to shut the door, please let the office know so that we can come and shut it for you.
Large Boxes for Reception
If you have anything large delivered for Christmas, please flatten the boxes and bring them into Reception so that they can be used for large paintings. Thank you.
