Rotary Club Chelmsford Phoenix - Choir Competition 

I had the absolute delight of sharing an evening with our Singing Squad Choir as they competed in the Rotary Club choir competition. I can not explain how proud I am of this group of children who sang their hearts out. Their voices filled an enormous space and their song choices really entertained the audience. Unbelievably, they didn't win, but they are definitely our winners! We also had the best cheer of the night following their performance. 

A huge “Thank You” needs to go to Miss Raban who pours a huge amount of time and effort into making our choir so successful. Also to Mrs Keeble and Mrs Cook who also commit so much to support our children. 

I can wait for next year! 
 

Free Breakfast Club - starting Tuesday 22nd April

We are really happy to have now opened booking for our free breakfast for children after the Easter holidays.

Booking will be under 'Meals' on your Arbor app and will need to be booked at least two weeks in advance.

Breakfast will be open from 8.15am via the school hall door that JAM use.

If you have any questions please email me on mrs.paget@rodingsprimary.co.uk or call me at school.

Bookings for our start week need to be made before the holidays so please make sure you book as soon as you can.

This is available for all children and we are very excited to be part of the DfE Pilot Scheme.

Thank you so much to all those that attended the Quiz Night last Friday, what a brilliant night it was?! We made over £850 profit but most importantly a fantastic night was had by all.

As always, we want to give a massive THANK YOU to Mr Raraty who gave up his Friday night to host the event and his own time to write such a fantastic quiz, we are always so grateful for your support.
