CHJS Newsletter 18 June 2021 CHALKWELL HALL JUNIOR SCHOOL NEWSLETTER 18th June 2021 This week has flown by as we gallop through the second half of the summer term, with much going on and even more coming up! Firstly we have to say a fond farewell to Mr. Gardener, our amazing ICT technician of 4 years who began his journey as an apprentice and now leaves us on an exciting journey in the world of automotive design. We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your service and support and we wish you the very best of luck in your new career and future. The summer Reading Challenge will be taking place in libraries once again and the theme this year is Wild World Heroes. It will be taking place 17th July – 28th August for children aged 4 -12 years old. Children are challenged to read 6 books, collect stickers along the way and get a certificate and medal on completion. There is also an Early Years Challenge, where children under 4 can earn a large medal and sticker. Families can sign up in any Southend Borough Library and pick up a goody bag. Children need to read 6 books during the school holiday. We’re asking parents to award a sticker when each book is read. Each time children collect a sticker they help to improve the environment in the fictional town of Wilderville by putting their transformational sticker on the fold-out map. After reading 6 books, children can collect a certificate and medal from the library. They will also be included in a prize draw to win Adventure Island wristbands in September. If children want to talk about their books, families can book a slot at their local library during August. Children can also write a review or draw a picture and send them to [email protected] or go on Southend Libraries’ social media website. One of the positives to come out of the road traffic accident which occurred on Tuesday 8th June, is that one of our Year 6 pupils took it upon herself to start a petition to improve the road safety around our school site. She has almost 400 signatures from parents and children. It is gestures like this where children show how kind, thoughtful and determined they are which fills me with pride and what an honour it is to work with so many great individuals. This petition will be presented to members of the Highways Department and Southend Borough Council when they come to assess what changes or alterations can be made around the CHJS site. Well done to those Year 5 children who submitted and ordered their published poetry in the ‘Young Writers’ competition. They received their copies of the book today and the school has been given a copy for our Library. Awesome effort from a talent bunch of children! Well done! TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER Did you know that we work in collaboration with a group of local schools, we call our Engagement Group? Along with Chalkwell Infants, Leigh North Street, Earls Hall and West Leigh Infants we have made a commitment to work with, and learn from, one another. The Engagement group has been in existence for a number of years now, but momentum has slowed a little lately, due to other distractions! Next year it is all systems go again, the Headteachers and Deputy Headteachers from all schools are meeting in July to plan the year ahead. **NEW REVISED DINNER MENU ALERT** From week beginning 21st June, we will be WEEK 1 of the new Summer Dinner Menu. Dear Parents/Carers, Unfortunately, we have been experiencing some delays with our school food providers and we think this may continue for several weeks yet. It appears the majority of the hospitality industry is bulk buying (similar to the toilet roll situation when COVID first became evident), which in turn, is affecting others. Due to lack of space/storage and in an effort not to add to food shortages, we are unable to stockpile food items. So for Chalkwell Schools, this means where orders are not received in time, food items from our menu will be replaced with a similar alternative. Where the delivery schedule allows, we will of course communicate this with you as far in advance as possible. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. If you have any comments or questions about the school menu, please email the Infant School Office Manager, Kerrie Lawton, [email protected]. Thank you for your continued support. Mr Hanshaw, Acting Head Teacher Attendance matters Our overall attendance so far this term is 97%. Hop Hop Hurray- your leveret trail is LIVE!!
