Pop up cake stalls results
 Well
done and thanks to all of the children, parents and staff who participated in
our cake sale this year. A remarkable £651.88 was raised for the PTA who are
saving to purchase resources for our learning outside the classroom. The class who raised the most money was EYFS. |
Goodbye Year 6!
 We said goodbye to all of our Year 6 leavers who recalled their most precious memories at Kendall. They were presented with dictionaries from the rotary club and Mrs Carter led prayers for their future. |
Breakfast Club/Dinner & After School Club Monies
 Please ensure any money owing to the school is paid directly to the office by Thursday 19th July. If you are unsure of any amounts owing please contact the office for a final balance. You may want to put your payment in our post-box (on the wall outside the office) in a clearly named envelope stating exactly what the money is for to save time queueing at busy times in the morning and after school. |
Beauty and the Beast Jr
 I
was impressed with every single person who worked as part of the team to bring
the show together; from the technical team who were in charge of the sound,
music and lighting, the stage crew who moved the props effortlessly between the
scenes and the actors who learned all of their lines, and the songs, to make
the whole experience magical. Of course, none of this is achieved by magic!
Shows of this quality which give the children the opportunity to take part in
such a rich, immersive experience of musical theatre would not happen without
our incredibly talented team of Teachers and Learning Support Assistants who
have worked tirelessly to showcase all that our children can achieve. Anyone
who has seen our end of year show will agree that we have some exceptionally
talented pupils who can step up to the challenge and really wow an audience! Mrs French |
Schools in Bloom
Representatives from Kendall’s Gardening Club attended an awards ceremony today (13th July) at First Site where prizes were presented to many schools in Colchester by the Mayor and Mayoress of Colchester. Imagine my surprise and the children’s delight when they announced the 2018 ‘Schools in Bloom - Let Children Grow’ Overall Winner as Kendall! Well done to everyone involved in making this happen. Our thanks to Mrs Gayton and Mrs Palmer who run this club throughout the year for the benefit of all of our children and families who get to enjoy our wonderful grounds that have been truly transformed over the past two years by our dedicated pupils at gardening club. |
PTA Discos 29th June
 Thank
you to all of you who helped the PTA at the discos last Friday. Thanks to your
efforts we raised a super £453.16. Following the
purchase of our amazing outdoor classroom and better wellie store sheds, the
PTA are now raising funds for further resources to support our learning outside
the classroom. |
Sports Day
I think you would agree sports day was a great success! There was such a good turn out from parents, showing their support for all the children, we were blessed with the sun shining all day and the children all thoroughly enjoyed taking part! A big thank you to all that attended and then all that stayed for a lovely picnic outside. From a teacher’s perspective it was lovely to see so many smiling faces and it had a real sense of community spirit! The results: In 4th place were Yew with 1560 points, in 3rd place were Elm with 1670 points, in second place were Birch with 1740 points and in first place were Ash with 1930 points. Well done Ash!  |
Year One trip to Walton on the Naze
 Year One
had a super trip to Walton on the Naze on Tuesday 3rd July. First of all we walked
down to the Hythe Station where we boarded the train to Walton. We
then walked down to the beach and had play on the sand before lunch.
After lunch we had four different activities including compass work, making
bracelets and making sandcastles. The highlight of the day however
was paddling in the sea and jumping over the waves! Thank you very
much to all the parents that came along on the day to help, we could not have
done this trip without you. Well done to all of Year One who behaved
beautifully all day and were a credit to Kendall. |

The owner of the private access road to Kendall C E Primary School, ECL and Scarlett’s Residential Home has appointed National Parking Enforcement Ltd to control and manage the parking and private roadway leading to our school from 24 hour unauthorised use. You will notice brand new warning signage will be installed very shortly along with CCTV cameras and crosshatching on the access driveway. (Our driveway should not be used for stopping, dropping off, parking or turning as this is a main pedestrian access). The control and management of the parking will comprise of periodic checks via their CCTV Security System. The new parking rules will come into force on Monday 9th July and will mean that any parking on the access road (that runs from the corner of Port Lane and Recreation Road to the school gates, Scarletts and ECL) will incur a fixed penalty charge. We have now sent home parking permits with all the children but should you need more please contact the office. We have negotiated revised car park passes for the Old Heath Recreation Ground car park. This entitles you to park for free during pick up and drop off times for Breakfast Club, After School Clubs, PTA discos as well as the normal times.
