EFDC Christmas Giving CampaignPlease read this message from Epping Forest District Council:
The spirit of Christmas is all about giving, and this year, we’re on a mission to ensure that every child in our district feels the warmth of the holiday season.
No child should face Christmas without a present due to their circumstances. With your help, we can change that! Last year, we raised nearly £2,000 through your generous donations, providing gifts to local children aged 2-17.
Ready to help? Follow the details on the attached flyer. - 06 Nov 2024
Rockvember 4th to 29th NovemberGood afternoon families,
Thank you to everyone who has been supporting their child in Year 3 - Year 6 to log onto TT Rockstars and practise their times tables. This is an absolutely vital skill, and they need to master all of their times tables to 12 x 12, by rote, by the end of Year 4.
To help engagement even further, we have set up a 'cross-school' competition with lots of other local primary schools in the Epping and Ongar area called 'Rockvember'. The aim is for all children to log onto TT Rockstars throughout the month of November, to collect as many points as possible by playing in any zone of the game. The school with the most points at the end of the month will then win a trophy!
Please encourage your child to log on and take part on a regular basis. The optimal time is 20-minute sessions 3 times a week, but the more the better when it comes to times tables!
With kind regards,

TTRockstars Battle of the BandsGood afternoon families,
To promote our use of TT Rockstars, and the importance of all children being secure and fluent in their times tables, we will be hosting regular 'Battle of the Bands' competitions between classes in KS2.
The first battle will begin today (Monday 30th September) and last for 2 weeks. To gain points for their class team/band, children need to log onto TTRockstars and play in any of the game types. Each time they play, they will collect points for correct answers, and the points will be added to their class total. The winning class will be the class with the highest 'average per person', therefore, it is vital that all children log in and get involved to add to their class average.
Times tables are fundamental skills for all pupils, and every child must be secure in their times tables to 12 x 12 by the end of Year 4. Times tables feed into so many areas of maths (fractions, decimals, percentages, word problems etc) so is it vital you support us in helping your child to learn them. The best way for them to do this, is to log onto TT Rockstars for a minimum of 10 minutes every day - this should be happening anyway as it is part of our 'must' homework expectations every week.
The system has a smart algorithm built in which will identify times tables each child is less secure in and prioritise these when they practice.
My advice would be to get children to practice in 'Garage' mode regularly, as this will be working on the specific times tables the class teacher has set for your child. Then when they are feeling confident they can play in other areas, or 'Studio' mode, which will give them a 'Rock status' and give them the opportunity to practise a mix of all the times tables.
I hope you will all get on board to support your child in this. Let the battle commence!

Book Bus Visit - Does your child have a library card?Dear Families,
Today your child has come home with a paper copy of a library card membership form.
This year, to promote our love of reading, we have teamed up with Essex Libraries to give children access to an even bigger range of books.
On 26th September, a mobile reading bus will be coming to school full of books! Children will be able to go onto the bus and take a library book off to borrow and read. The book can then be returned to the library once the children have finished at your earliest convenience.
In order for your child to be able to take part in this, they will need to have signed up for a library card. If your child already has one, we will send you a reminded closer to the time to bring it in on this day and no action is needed now. If they are not already a member, we would love for you to sign them up by completing the attached form, or the paper copy that was sent home with your child today. Completed forms must be handed in to the office by 16th September 2024 to be processed ready for the book bus visit.
I would love to see all children able to take part as the book bus does get very exciting!
Kind Regards,
Miss Nicholson - 06 Sep 2024

The PTA is pleased to present the school Spring Disco.Dear Families,
There are a maximum of 60 spaces per disco, which will be allocated on a first come first served basis, so to avoid disappointment please return your form ASAP to the office; no later 29th Jan. If the disco is oversubscribed a waiting list will then be compiled and you will be notified if your child is on the waiting list. If there are any cancellations, then the first on the list will be informed.
Please provide information if your child has any allergies.
If you can volunteer, please let the PTA know as without enough volunteers, events may not be able to take place (which we know no one wants).
If another parent is picking your child up from the disco, please indicate this on the form or let your class rep know no later than 29th Jan so a list can be compiled as any changes on the day detract from us from providing your child with a fun event.
Please check your child's book bag for a hard copy of the attached letter

Year 3&4 Information for Ancient Egyptian DayDear Years 3 and 4 Parents/Carers,
With our Ancient Egyptian workshop taking place on the 17th January in the school hall, below are a few things we want to share with you.
It is a whole day event and children are invited to dress up so they can feel part of the action. It does not need to be a complex costume, children could wear plain clothes and make a headdress or belt. The attached sheet from the company organising the day has more information on, to help you and your child prepare.
Also, we will need 10 parent helpers for the day to support the groups of children around the different activities in the Hall. If there is anyone who is willing to come into school for the day to help, we would be really grateful! If you are able to volunteer your time, please come and speak to your class teacher or leave your name at the front office for us to contact you back.
With kind regards,
Year 3 and 4 Teaching Team - 20 Dec 2023
