Firstly, well done to our Year 3 football squad who competed in an inter-school tournament at Great Baddow on Monday. They played 9 matches and all the team showed great sportsmanship and tried really hard. Against tough opposition we were placed 6^th overall!

Our Y3-Y6 cross country runners battled with the wet and windy weather (and very muddy conditions) on Tuesday -there were lots of personal bests from all our athletes. Special mention to Thomas W and Brooke N who were placed 3^rd out of all the Year 5 boys and Year 6 girls-well done everyone!

Also, congratulations to our Year 5/6 mixed netball team who played against Bishops school on Wednesday and won 13-2. Both teams played with great skill, determination and sportsmanship! An excellent result!

I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the project work exhibited during our Science Fair on Thursday. The children were immersed in experiments that challenged their thinking and really benefitted from sharing their scientific knowledge and understanding with their peers. It was also a bonus that our school governors came into school to observe the children’s presentations and also that parents came in to look at work across the school. Thank you, Miss Howlett for organising this scientifically insightful day.

Thank you for supporting Friday’s Bandwagon Book Fair. This was a huge success and the school were able to purchase a wide selection of books with the money raised. hopefully this event will help us to reach our goal of enriching children's knowledge through books and foster a love of reading.

Finally , for those of you who may have missed some school news this week (or have not seen our banner), our recent Ofsted inspection report has now been finalised and you can access this either through  our website https://www.perryfields-jun.essex.sch.uk/page/ofsted/137453 or Ofsted.
