Summer Reading Challenge – Mythical Maze:
This summer, some of our pupils took part in the summer reading challenge through Essex Library Service. The
children had to read a minimum of 6 books during the holiday and answer questions about each book, for each
book read, a sticker was awarded, to stick along their maze. Those children who successfully completed the full
challenge also received a medal and a certificate. I am really pleased that the certificates arrived this week to
present in assembly. Well done to the following children:

yet to complete and return the data sheet with the essentail contact/ home address/ telephone

School postbox
There is now a school postbox in the Reception area (on the right hand side wall next to
the main office hatch). Rather than spend precious time waiting around to see a member
of the Office staff, please drop in any letters or payments here. The box will be emptied
daily and is locked so cannot be accessed by anyone other than school staff.
Website
We are in the process of updating the information held on our school website where we hope to include more
information of galleries of events and an annual parent calendar of key events. Watch this space...
Appointments
Could we kindly request that all parents refrain from making non-urgent medical appointments for their children
within school hours, as this affects the childrens learning and progress as they miss out on key learning in class.
We do fully understand that hospital appointments are more difficult to co-ordinate, however, routine dental
appointments or follow up appointments should be made during holiday periods or after school. Thank you for
your co-operation with this matter.
Well done!
