Little LifesaversPlease see the attached flyer from Little Lifesavers, if you are interested in being a possible volunteer or you would like to make a donation.
The charity visited our school on 20th June and taught our Year 5s bystander CPR.
Here is a message from them directly:
Dear Parents/Carers,
The children at our school have recently benefited from some free, lifesaving skills sessions run by Little LifeSavers Charity. The charity is volunteer led and is always looking to recruit new volunteers to deliver sessions and help us fundraise.
Could you help the charity by volunteering/donating?
The volunteer process is very straightforward and is all online. It takes just 3-4 hours of your time to complete, and you do not need previous CPR experience. The charity provides full support and equipment. You will need an enhanced DBS certificate which is registered with the Update Service. If you don’t have this, then the charity can apply for it for you for a small one-off contribution of £15.
Volunteering can be great fun with friends, and it is a brilliant way to give back to the community and feel good. By inviting parents to join the charity as volunteers, it means the children at our school and others will benefit from receiving crucial lifesaving skills sessions this year and in future years to come.
Please have a look at the volunteer information leaflet attached and visit www.littlelifesavers.org or email info@littlelifesavers.org for more information or to sign up.
Please note, volunteers do not have to be parents so please spread the word to your own networks if you are not able to help yourself, but you know someone who might be interested.
If you are unable to spare time to volunteer but you are interested in helping the charity fundraise then there are lots of ideas on their website here but we always love to hear new ideas too!
Thank you in advance. - 30 Jun 2025

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!

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.

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.

Years 5&6 Summer Production - invite letterDear Year 5 and 6 Parents/Carers,
The attached letter is coming home with children today as a hard copy. However, as we have some Year 6 pupils at secondary transition days we thought an e-copy would be a good idea to have until every family receives the hard copy. Once you have the hard copy, please ensure the return form is sent back if you want up to 4 family members to attend the production.
With kind regards,
