Dear parents/ carers,
How wonderful it was at drop off this morning seeing the children dressed up in such a wonderful assortment of clothes and costumes! I’d mentioned last week it was wear what you want day in aid of Comic Relief, and I thank you all for really getting into the spirit with such a fantastic assortment of pyjamas, super heroes, casual wear, princesses, plus some fantastic hair styles too! I should think many of you had to get up extra early!
Thank you so much for those of you that gave a donation this morning. We are still collecting, so if you haven’t dropped off your £1 donation, you’ve still got time, just pop it into your child’s class teacher. I’ll give you a final amount raised in next week’s newsletter.

Over Easter they are launching over 65 ActivAte clubs across Essex, including specialist clubs for SEND pupils and mental wellbeing hubs. These clubs are completely free for young people who are eligible for benefits based free school meals or working families who need additional support this Easter holidays.

Henham Mental Health Day, Wednesday 24th March. Non-uniform day! We all know how important it is to look after our children’s mental health, and next Wednesday, all classes will be taking part in activities and lessons to support this. It will be a non-uniform day and children can wear comfy/ casual clothes 😊
Finally, as next week is the last week of the spring term, school will finish at 1.15pm on Friday 26th March. Breakfast club will run as normal on this day, but there will be no after school club for this afternoon only. Breakfast club and after school club will resume when we return after the Easter holidays, on Monday 12th April.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone, at last the sun is shining!
