Weekly reminders for the week beginning 1st November 2021

 Welcome back to the new half term everyone!

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school tomorrow (Monday 1st November). We hope that you all had a lovely holiday and are ready and raring to go for the new term ahead!

Well done to all those who entered the Pumpkin Carving Competition, your carving skill are fantastic! The results will be coming your way very soon!

Parents' Evening 

Do not forget that on Wednesday and Thursday of this week it is Parents' Evening after school. Teachers have been busy making appointments for everyone, so if, as yet, you do not have an appointment please contact your child's class teacher on Monday to make arrangements for a meeting. As you know, we are offering a blended approach, so if you have not done so already, please do tell the teachers if you want a Zoom or face to face meeting.

The termly questionnaire for parents / carers came out via Class Dojo during the holiday and can be accessed using the link below 

Autumn Term Questionnaire for Parents / Carers

As always we thank you for your feedback. We do appreciate that this takes time but your feedback is invaluable to us as we continually strive to improve the educational experience we provide for the children and families we serve. 

Please do allow your children to be part of the meeting so that they also know how they are doing and what they need to work on. The importance of the co-education of your child cannot be overstated.

Reception and Year 3

Reception and Year 3 will be taking part in a workshop all about Diwali on Friday. 

Sport

Good luck to the Netball team who take on Parklands (away) on Tuesday and good luck to the Year 4 Girls Football Team who will be taking part in a borough competition on Wednesday.

Folding, folding and more folding in Year 3!

As part of our life skills curriculum, this term Year 3 are learning how to fold their clothes. We had lots of fun learning this skill and hopefully the children are now showing you this at home! 

Please send us any pictures!

Performance Poetry in Year 6

As part of their learning in English, Year 6 have been learning about Performance Poetry.

They chose to perform 'The Visitor' by Ian Serraillier.

They began by exploring and analysing the poem. They then created a poetry map and thought about how they would bring the poem to life. Finally they added some special effects and then put their performance together.

Here is Fiji's performance!

Forest School is back!

Some of the children from Year 2, along with Miss Burrell and Mrs Montague have had a great time taking part in Forest School on a Wednesday afternoon.

They have enjoyed taking part in lots of activities at school as well as at our Forest School site in Havering Park!

Yum, yum!

The children in Reception thoroughly enjoyed tasting lots of different fruit and vegetables as part of their learning.

The children were really brave and some even tried fruit they had never tried before and some even liked what they tried!

Fabulous Fundraising

We are delighted to inform you that we raised an amazing £491.02 for World Mental Health Day.

We are sure you will agree this a fabulous effort by our wonderful community. Everyone certainly looked great in their yellow!

Such a fantastic cause! Thank you for your generosity - well done everyone!

Happy Half Term Clockhouse!

From all of us at Clockhouse we hope that you have a lovely half term.

Please stay safe and look after yourselves.
