Water Bottles
This is a reminder that every child should bring in a water bottle so that they can have a drink of water during lessons and stay hydrated.
Cross Country
A first for our school! We had two children who went through to County cross country finals and, not only did they get through, but they did extremely well. Well done to Sydie Peck who came 1st (yes 1st in Essex) and Charlie Pegrum who came 4th! We are very proud of your achievements.
MacMillan Cancer Support
I received a letter this week thanking everyone involved in the MacMillan Coffee morning. We raised £51.10.
