This week at Lawford featured Harvest church celebrations, Year 3 Stone Age projects, and cutting-edge LEGO EdTech coding. Don't forget warmer PE clothes, food bank donations, and Tiny's pre-hibernation soak!
This week, Lawford Primary students enjoyed an explorer visit in Year 2, new 1:1 devices in Year 4, and personal well-being sessions in the Life tent. The school community also celebrated the PTA Sunflower event, toured "The Hive," and launched a Harvest Food Bank collection for Manningtree ahead of the October 8th church service.
You’ll find key reminders on healthy break-time snacks, PE earring safety, and our upcoming School AGM. We’ve also shared dates for the Travelling Book Fair and details on how to support the Manningtree Food Bank for our Harvest Festival.
We have welcomed a newest resident, Tiny the tortoise and to named our new outdoor classroom, 'The Hive', but our hearts and thoughts remain deeply with our wider community during a difficult week.
We have had a great first full week back in school, with our Reception classes now in school together for the whole day.
A very warm welcome to all our new Lawford families.
Lawford Primary welcomed students and new staff for the term, unveiled a PTA-funded Nurture Space, resolved communication system issues, and requested mindful parking during ongoing local gas works.
