Weekly reminders for week beginning 22nd April 2025

Welcome back to the Summer Term everyone! 

We all hope that you have had a fantastic Easter Holiday and enjoyed some time with family and friends! We hope you also enjoyed lots of chocolate! Thank you for the support you showed to St. Francis Hospice before the holiday - the charity are so grateful for our on-going support.

As you are aware we are back to school tomorrow (22nd April) and are looking forward to seeing everyone bright and early! As always our focus on attendance and punctuality continues so do please make sure that the children arrive on time everyday!

Please can I take this opportunity to remind you of the importance of the children coming to school in full school uniform and full school PE Kit on PE Days. School uniform is part of the children's identity with the school and is therefore very important. Thank you in advance for your support and please speak to us if there are any problems. Uniform can be ordered online by following this link - https://www.mapac.com/education/parents/uniform/clockhouseprimaryrm53qr

Highly successful tournament ends in cruel exit for Clockhouse

On a sun filled day our Year 5 boys football team took part in a 7 a-side knockout competition at Harold Wood School. 
 
We began with a hard fought 0-0 draw with St Joseph's with Jayden going close twice to scoring what would have been a deserved winner! We followed this with a second consecutive draw with home school Harold Wood, George scoring a well-deserved equaliser ending the game 1-1.In our third game against RJ Mitchell, we hit top form! Despite going a goal behind, Clockhouse triumphed 5-1 with goals from Jack, Caleb, George and Elliot! We completed our group games with another 0-0 with Upminster. 
 
Clockhouse finished a superb second in our group qualifying for the semi-finals!!!
 
In the Semi's we faced Nelmes who had just won their group. We fell a goal behind, but in true never give up Clockhouse fashion the boys drew level with a great strike from Jayden! Despite both teams best efforts, neither could find a winner and we entered the dreaded penalty shoot-out! 
 
Both teams scored their first two penalties (Reean and Caleb). For our 3rd up stepped George whose fantastic strike was matched with an equally fine save from Nelmes goalkeeper! Unfortunately our keeper Harry couldn't quite manage to keep their third penalty out and we bowed out at the semifinal stage without losing a single game in normal time.
 
Despite the disappointment our boys were gracious in defeat showing true sportsmanship, staying behind to congratulate the eventual winners Nelmes! 
 
They made us all so proud - well done boys!
 
Team - Harry N (China), Caleb (China),  Jack (India), Harrison (China), Jayden (Japan), Elliot (China),  Frankie (India), Reean (Japan) and George (China)

Greenland show their Families how to do it!

Greenland had a great time learning with their families. 

It was such a lovely afternoon and a good opportunity to celebrate how fabulous our Greenland children are.

Thank you to all the families who took the time to join us, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we all did as well as learning something new.

Food Champions bring about change in the Community

We are so very proud of our Food Champions who have been working with the Local Authority to help bring about change in Collier Row and ensure healthy choices are on offer in the shops and food chains.

Their impact has been significant and we could not be more proud of them and their determination.

Mrs Savidge said “I’m delighted that we have been able to participate in the research and have the expertise, which is much needed.  The Practitioner was dedicated to understanding our community and the barriers we face. The fact that children’s participation has played a role in influencing decision-making has been empowering for both the children and the school. There is a clear need for this initiative to continue and be implemented on a larger scale within the borough”.

Well done and thank you Food Champions!

Sand Pit comes to Key Stage 1

Following the success of the sandpit installation in Key Stage 2, the children were very excited to see a slightly smaller version arrive in Key Stage 1.

Following our own observations and feedback from the children and families we are continuing to work hard to develop our OPAL provision in the Year 1 and 2 playground.

Watch this space!

Year 2 head to the Church to find out about Easter

A huge thank you to Deacon Sarah Rigby who welcomed Year 2 to the Methodist Church to support the children's learning all about the Christian festival of Easter.
