JUNE

CRICKET FESTIVALS

A team from Year 2 joined other schools at a cricket festival at Hadleigh and Thundersley Cricket Club. They really enjoyed the experience and represented the school fantastically.

Both our girls’ and boys’ teams have participated in cricket festivals since half term. They really enjoyed playing against other schools. The girls finished third winning a bronze medal.

Our boys team showed great sporting behaviour and performed impeccably, narrowly missing out on winning a medal.

Thank you, Mr A Keys and Mr H Keys, for training them after school over the last few weeks.

ATTENDANCE

Well done 5BM who won the cup (full of sweets) for best attendance for the first half of the summer term.

Y4 MTC CHECK

How quickly and accurately you remembered your tables, Year 4, as you completed your table check on an iPad. Once mastered, tables are rarely forgotten (I can still remember mine!).

YEAR 1 PHONICS CHECK

Well done to all of our Year 1 children who completed their National Phonics Check with Mrs Brooks this week. All of you tried so hard and have made great progress this year.

PARENTS/CARERS RSE MEETINGS

Thank you for the parents/carers who were able to attend one of the sessions led by Miss Hartley. The Year 6 children will be having their sessions this half term.

CLIFFS

What fun you all had singing and dancing at the South East Essex Schools music concert at the Cliffs. It was even more fun when the audience had to join in! Well done choir – a fantastic evening!

SPORTS DAYS

Although sports days had to be postponed, the rain stayed away for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 rearranged sports days. I am sure you agree with me how well they all did. Hopefully the sun will shine next week for Key Stage 2.

YEAR 6 MATHS COMPETITION

Two groups of our Year 6 mathematicians joined children from Leigh Beck, Winter Gardens and William Read for an inter-school maths competition. It was extremely close with the lead changing several times. Eventually one of the Northwick Park teams finished in first place and the other one just out of the medal positions. Well done to all of them.

YOUNG CARERS

At Northwick Park Academy, we are committed to ensuring that all students who are young carers are identified and supported effectively. If you think your child might be a young carer, please contact our Young Carers Operational Lead,

Mrs L Cooper by email at LCooper@northwickpark.essex.sch.uk.

Any information given to her will be treated sensitively and no information will be shared without your knowledge.

YEAR 4 ESSEX MUSIC PROJECT

Year 4 have had the opportunity to participate in an Essex Music project called “Lights, Camera, Score: Seeds of Hope”. Each class composed and performed music scores for an animated film, guided by a visiting composer. The concept of the animated film is based on the 1953 Canvey Flood.

The children experimented with different instruments and composed a soundtrack using their own ideas. Our classrooms were turned into a professional studio to record the soundtrack!

Some of the children had a fantastic time performing collaboratively with the English Chamber Orchestra musicians and other local schools at the Towngate Theatre.

CHILDREN’S UNIVERSITY GRADUATION

What a wonderful afternoon we had celebrating the achievements of our Children’s University Graduates. Well done to all of them.

Thank you to the group Year 5 and Year 6 cheerleaders who not only graduated but put on a stunning display to start this very special event.
