He is taking assembly in both Key Stage 1 and 2 and will also be visiting classes!

A great experience for the children!

Reminders for week beginning 24th February 2014

Firstly, welcome back to you all, we hope that you have all had a lovely half term and that the children are ready for the busy term ahead!

Please remember that school is closed to pupils tomorrow as it is a staff training day. We look forward to welcoming the children back on Tuesday 25th February.

This week sees our annual community week for Key Stage 1 and 2. This has become some what of a tradition for Clockhouse and gives us a chance to get out into our local community and do something for them. If you have not yet returned your consent for please do so on Tuesday to avoid the children not being able to partake in the activities. We also have ex West Ham Player and a former Clockhouse pupil Tony Cottee visiting on Wednesday!

Good luck to the girls and boys football teams who are taking part in a borough competition on Tuesday and Thursday respectively. Families are more than welcome to go along to support.

The grand unveiling of the Parents Room mural (painted by the children) is happening on Wednesday, this will include a visit from the Romford Recorder, so keep an eye out for us in the paper next week!

The February newsletter will be coming out this week, so please look out for this.

Have a good week everyone and here's to another good term for all at Clockhouse!
