Dear Lord,

I hope people could help our animals and not hurt them. I love all animals so I want them to be safe.

Amen

Mr Bragard’s Weekly Update

This week the British weather has been back with a vengeance with parts of the country flooded and damaged due to the amount of rainfall over a short period of time. In Southend it has not been as damaging but this week did see the beauty of thunderstorms, lighting the estuary at night with its streaks of lightning across the dark sky. Let us have a moment to reflect on this and pray for those who have been affected by the weather recently and hope that they are kept safe and can resume their normal lives. The weather has not been great this week but at Sacred Heart the fun always continues! As well as the superb learning experience the children continue to have every week, we have also had amazing Sports Days held this week for Nursery and Reception. Year 4 have set off on their adventure to Belchamps and will be keeping the adults up all night while the parents get a peaceful night’s sleep. Let's hope they come back Friday tired, ready for another early night’s sleep.

Thank you to those that have signed up for the Summer Fayre after my plea last week and also for all the amazing donations that have been brought to the office it is greatly appreciated!

Bring a Bottle Day 26th June

As part of our Summer Fayre we would like children

to bring a bottle to school on Wednesday 26th June

for the bottle tombola. The bottle has to be

unopened and in date and could be:

● Squash

● Shampoo/shower gel etc.

● Fizzy pop (lemonade, coke etc)

● Beer, Wine etc.

Going for Gold DayNext week FS1, FS2, KS1 and KS2 will be having their reward days. Year 2 and below will be having a range of fun activities on site to reward their behaviour across the year. KS2 will be enjoying a lovely day down at Adventure Island. Well done to the children this year as their behaviour has been brilliant and deserve a day to celebrate!

What’s Coming Up?

RetirementSadly, we will say goodbye to Mr Tallon at the end of this year as he has announced his intention to retire from teaching. Mr. Tallon’s contribution to Catholic Education has been considerable, spanning over many years. We are so very grateful for the many years of service he has given to Sacred Heart School. His dedication and hard work for so many families of Sacred Heart has been significant – this can be summed up in his resolve to remove stabilisers for a young pupil to enable him to ride. This provides a great illustration of his role for our community - he will be sorely missed. If you would like to make a donation to his retirement collection, please do so in the office.







This Week’s News

Bags to SchoolThank you for all the donations for Bag 2 School. All bags

will be weighed and then they will calculate a donation to

give to the school. If you have missed this opportunity

there will be another chance to recycle clothes etc. when

we come back after the summer holidays. PLEASE DO

NOT BRING IN ANY MORE BAGS AS THEY WILL NOT

BE ACCEPTED.

Summer Fayre Donations

Thank you for the increase in donations this week. We

have had teddies, Bric a Brac and jam jars. Please keep

the donations coming. There will even be a reward to

the class that collects the most jam jars for Mr Tallon’s

Jam Jar stall.

Year 5 Music FestivalThe children of St Anthony, Year 5, had a fantastic day last Friday as they attended a rehearsal at the Cliffs Pavilion and then later performed as part of the mass choir at the South East Essex Music Festival. The evening was a great event, with a wonderful selection of songs from across the decades, complimented by the tambourine group who accompanied a couple of songs as well as performing to a medley of Abba, Elvis and The Feeling. They received tremendous applause and the children were complimented for their behaviour and excellent singing. Well done indeed St Anthony, we were exceptionally proud at the way your represented our school!







KS2 Borough SportsWell done to all the athletes who took part in this week’s

Borough Sports. It was a closely contested competition.

There were some wonderful team and individual efforts

on the day including Danyel in Year 3 claiming first place

in the sprint event!

Services for Families

This week there have been many parents asking about services

that can support them at home or with their family. Please look at

the final page of the newsletter to find information and links about

parent support group. If you are attending any parent groups or

using any services that have helped you, please share these with

the office so we can share these with other parents.

Fun Run Final DonationsNext week will be the final week to bring in Fun Run donations. We have received in total around £1000 so far but there are still many children that still need to bring their sponsor money in! Please please bring this to school next week!

Last Weeks of Foodbank

There are only three weeks left to send in your items for our

Foodbank collection! The foodbank will require lots of food over

the summer so please can you send in as much as you can. Even

if you haven’t contributed before, any contribution will be greatly

appreciated.

EYFS and KS1 are collecting rice, and KS2 are collecting tinned

fish.Thank you for your help.







Packed Lunches

Many children at school bring their own packed

lunch. Many parents wonder what makes a good

packed lunch? How many items should I put in their

lunch box? Can I give them left-over take away

from the night before? It is vital that you pack a

balanced lunch and leave the take aways at home.

support please visit:

Sacred Heart Feast Day

We are looking forward to celebrating Sacred Heart Feast Day on Friday 28th June. We hope that as many parents and carers as possible can join us.

We will be marking this special occasion in a number of ways:

• Feast Day mass at 9:30am. We hope to hold our mass outdoors (on the playground) in order to accommodate our growing numbers within the Sacred Heart community. For the outdoor mass, some seating will be available but it will not be possible to provide seating for all. Parents/carers are welcome to bring along a foldable/portable chair if available. In the event of bad weather, the mass will be moved into Sacred Heart Church and attended by all parents and Y3-6 pupils. (It will not be possible to fit all pupils into the church but all parents will be accommodated.)

• After mass, parents and carers will be welcomed into the school hall for refreshments (tea or coffee, with cake). Children will return to class for their own break-time during this time.

• We will then finish off our Feast Day celebration morning with pupils performing a range of songs and dances. We hope that we will be able to host these on the playground; again, this will be dependent on weather conditions on the day.If you wish to join us in school on this special occasion, please book your place on our online system. Entrance will be by ticket only, which are priced at £1.00 (with proceeds going to our school charities). The deadline for booking tickets for this event is Friday 21st June 2019. Please note there is a maximum availability of two tickets per family.

For full details of the event and booking arrangements, please see our Feast Day letter dated 7th June 2019.
