E for Effort

Every week, teachers recognise pupils in their class who have made an extra effort. These pupils are presented with the E for Effort cup during our whole school assembly.

Congratulations to all the wonderful children who made an extra effort last week.

Year 2 Trip: Colchester Zoo

Year 2 had a fantastic trip to Colchester Zoo to support their understanding and appreciation of different wild animals. Our pupils were very lucky to be able to feed the giraffes and elephants.

Hacton's Marathon Challenge

Well done to our pupils and staff for taking part in Hacton Primary School’s Marathon Challenge. To support Mrs Norford’s London Marathon run, the children had great fun running a mile to raise money for Sense (a charity helping people with complex communication needs). Thanks to the generosity of parents and staff, our plucky pupils raised nearly £1000!

Summer Term

With the sunshine making a welcome appearance, the summer term got off to a bright start. Despite the return of cooler weather and April showers, our pupils still have a lot to look forward to this term. As usual, we have plenty of inspiring activities planned: school trips, theatre visits, sports competitions and much more! Please check the regularly updated school calendar for an up-to-date list of events and activities.

Year 5 PE: Tennis

The sun was shining down on Year 5 as their tennis lessons commenced for this half term. Developing their hand eye coordination, the children began by throwing and catching with both hands, progressing on to using one hand before using their weakest hand to both throw and catch. It wasn’t long before the rackets came out and they had a ‘keepy-uppy’ competition. Finally, they combined hitting and catching skills to see which pair could achieve the highest number of ball deliveries, returns and catches without the ball hitting the ground. After a full Friday afternoon of sporting activity, Year 5 were well and truly ready for a relaxing weekend.
