Some people are calling for there to be a prize for the best displays on the day, so watch this space, if they can get us some more evidence, there might just be another prize giving coming up…
On Friday 22nd May, the last day of the half term, the entire community of East Tilbury Primary School & Nursery celebrated an Alice in Wonderland Equity Action in the glorious sunshine! Children had been enquiring into a number of ideas, using Lewis Carroll's famous story as a vehicle, as well as looking into local heritage through the Bata estates. Friday's event was a Hatter's Tea Party, with performances from children across the school, party food, games and work from the half term on display for parents, carers and other visitors to enjoy. Guests at the event included the Mayor Cllr Liddiard and his Deputy Mayor, MP Stephen Metcalfe, some of our Governors past and present, and representatives from local community groups. Children raised hundreds of pounds through this event to support the work of the Bata Reminiscence Resource Centre, making another positive contribution to the local community as active young citizens. Staff rallied round as usual to support the event and make all of our visitors feel welcome. Well done everybody!

Nursery have recently been learning about seasons as part of their Plants and Growth work. Pippa could tell us what she learnt about the seasons:
‘In Spring everything grows.’ ‘In Summer you can wear whatever you want.’ ‘In Autumn all the leaves fall off.’ ‘In Winter you have to wear something cosy.’ Flynn then talked about how he was dressing his person: ‘I’m dressing him up for the winter snow, because it’s a snowy day. He’s wearing trousers because it’s cold and he wants to play in the snow all day.’
Even our very youngest children took part in Aspirations and Enterprise Week. They learnt about trying to sell things for more than they were bought, linking to the idea of profit that older children were learning about. They also enjoyed buying and selling through role play.
East Tilbury Primary School is a busy place. There are always various activities, events and days being planned within the school and the community. Teachers will be providing you with updates about what's been going on in each year group. Feel free to provide positive feedback on the posts.
