It's wedding time at Rodings! Miss Wattis is getting married during the summer holiday, which we are all very excited about. Everyone at Rodings is sending their best wishes to the happy couple. We hope you have an amazing day! We look forward to welcoming Mrs Keeble to Rodings in September.
Essex Libraries Summer Reading Challenge
The reading challenge starts in all Essex libraries this Saturday (20th July) and runs throughout the summer until 7th September. It is open to children of all ages.
Families can find out more about it on the Essex Libraries' website: https://libraries.essex.gov.uk/news/marvellous-makers-the-summer-reading-challenge-2024
Further information is also contained below. I would strongly encourage participation to keep up reading levels over the summer holidays.
Attendance
The Department for Education has issued new regulations and guidance around attendance due to the overall fall in school attendance across the country since the pandemic. The new regulations come into force from August.
I have put a one-page profile together which explains the new regulations for requesting leave of absence and how attendance will be monitored.
The one-page profile will be emailed directly to you, along with a post on Class Dojo.
Finally, I want to say a huge thank you to the children and staff involved in the upper key Stage 2 production of Shrek. It was amazing! So much hard work, rehearsal, blood, sweat (particularly on the final night) and tears went into putting on such a fantastic show. Well done to all involved!
Have a lovely weekend!
Mr Raraty
