Firstly, thank you so much for your kind words and the support you have shown to us and the whole community during this difficult time. As the family that we are we will get through this together.
It is hard to believe it is the last week of this half term already - where is the time going! Whilst it has been another half term like no other, we cannot thank you enough for your understanding, your continued support and your patience. Again we are lucky to work with such a wonderful community.
Year 1 Trip
Year 1 are off to Thorndon Country Park on Wednesday to look for the Gruffalo. We are sure they will have a great time. If you have not paid for the trip or handed the form in, please do so by Monday at the latest.
Natasha Brind's Bright Day
On Thursday, for a small donation, we invite our whole community to come to school in bright colours. It would be lovely to see parents / carers getting involved as well. This is in memory of Natasha, our much loved member of staff who sadly and very unexpectedly passed away this time last year. Any money raised will be donated to Cancer Research, a charity dear to Natasha and her family, in her honour.
Is your child, or a child you know due to start school in September 2021
We are looking forward to welcoming prospective parents / carers into school on Thursday 21st October either at 10.00am or 4.00pm. Please call the school to book this or a tour later in the term. Places on each tour are limited.
OCA (Our Clockhouse Association) Sweet Stall
OCA will be holding their first event of the year, after school on Thursday. Look out for the sweets stalls around the site on Thursday after school. Sweet bags are 50p. Please do support them.
School Closure
Please do not forget that Friday 22nd October is a staff training day and therefore the school will be closed to children.

It is hard to believe that we only have two weeks of this half term left - where is the time going! Well done to the whole community for all that you are doing during this time which is difficult. I really do appreciate your understanding when you get a letter from me alerting you of a case in the class. This is not easy for anyone but your understanding is so gratefully appreciated.
Thank you to you all for your support shown during Yellow Day, we will of course let you know how much we have raised in due course. Thank you also to all of those who showed their support for the school on Thursday by having a school dinner!

On Wednesday, Mr Deen, the Principal of Bower Park Academy, along with one of the Assistant Principal will be visiting Year 6 to talk to them about their transition to Secondary School.

Another good week was had at Clockhouse last week with another busy week coming up. As always thank you for all you do and your on-going support.
Special Dinner for all
On Thursday we have the first special dinner day of the year. It would be really good to get as many people as possible having dinner on Thursday as this determines some of our schools funding. We really do appreciate your help in this matter.
World Mental Health Day
On Friday we will be supporting World Mental Health Day. This is a charity close to the school's heart and for a small donation, we ask that the children come to school in non-uniform including something yellow - this can be a small as a hair clip, a pattern on socks etc. If your child has PE on Friday, they can still wear yellow. Thank you in advance for your support.
