On Thursday 26th May, we celebrated the Queens Jubilee at Maldon Primary School! Each class did a range of different activities in order to learn all about the Queens life, we learnt the national anthem and we had a Jubilee picnic lunch as a school with music representing the different decades the queen has ruled. We all had a fantastic day!

A huge congratulations to one of our Year 6 pupils who had her beautiful long hair cut to donate to charity. She did this to support The Princess Trust, a charity that provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people who have lost their hair as a result of cancer treatment or other illnesses. Not only did she donate her hair, but she also raised £700 to donate to the cost of making the wig! What a kind and generous thing to do and certainly exemplifies our Maldon 5 value of recognising that everyone is important!

This week we were awarded our Bronze Young Carer award. We are looking forward to displaying this in school!

Today we supported red nose day by dressing as superheroes, wearing red or coming as the super hero that we are! Check back soon to find out how much we raised!

We really enjoyed seeing the pictures of the children, both at school and at home, enjoying the snow yesterday! There were some fabulous snowmen that were built! It was lovely to be able to see so many happy faces playing out in the snow!

We are delighted to announce that as a school we have been awarded the Bronze Young Carers award! This is is in recognition of how the school identifies and supports young carers! We are very proud of this achievement! A big well done to Miss Neave for running this!

A big thank you to Perrywood Garden Centre in Tiptree for their generous donation towards planting in the EYFS outdoor area. Miss Flint and Matisse Class can't wait to spend the voucher in spring on lots of lovely new plants for their garden!

This week it has been national anti bullying week. This years theme has been united against bullying. Here is a selection of the work we have produced this week.

This week in school we have been learning about why we mark Armistice Day each year. We started the week with an assembly explaining why it is important and we took time to reflect during the two minutes silence on Wednesday. Here is a selection of work created by the children this week.

On Tuesday 10th November, the Mayor of Maldon came in to present our head girls with the schools commemorative VE day coins. Each child will receive a coin on Friday to celebrate 75 years since declaring Victory in Europe during World War Two.

On Tuesday, we went up to the War Memorial in Maldon to pay our respects and lay our wreath in preparation for remembrance Sunday. This year there will be a virtual service.

Throughout October we have been learning about different aspects of black history. Here is a selection of the work we have produced.

This weekend, the Powell family took part in a showjumping competition and all three children came away with rosettes and trophies! We were delighted to be able to see their achievements outside of school. Don't forget to tell us about anything you achieve outside of school as well!

The children have been settling back into school life brilliantly! They have adapted to the changes that have been made including our new phonics and maths sessions with ease. We are incredibly proud of each and every pupil and how they have settled back into the new 'normal'!

This week Banksy class tried out their golfing skills! They completed a crazy golf course and then had a go at pitch and putt!
