Transition Workshop
Friday 19th June 9am Family Hub

Please be reminded that we are holding a parent workshop delivered by our linked family workers, Stef and Julie-Ann, on supporting children through change and transition tomorrow morning.

Transitions are a normal part of growing up and can include moving year groups, changing schools, changes within their family, friendships, routines or other significant life events. While many children adapt well, transitions can sometimes bring challenges and worries for both children and their families.

This workshop will explore:
• How transitions can affect children
• Ways to support emotional wellbeing during periods of change
• Practical strategies to build resilience and confidence
• Sources of further support for families

This session is informal, free to attend and open to all parents and carers. Whether your child is currently experiencing a significant transition or you would simply like to learn more about supporting them through change, we would be delighted to see you there.

Dear Parents and Carers,

The book fair is coming to Brightlingsea next week!

We are delighted to invite you and your child to our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair, which will be held in the KS1 hall from Monday 16th March to Thursday 19th March. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore a wide range of books and encourage a lifelong love of reading!

Reading for pleasure is one of the most important ways to support your child’s learning and development. Research shows that children who read for enjoyment develop stronger literacy skills, perform better academically and build greater empathy and creativity. The Book Fair offers an exciting selection of books catering to all ages and interests, making it the perfect time to discover new stories and authors.

Additionally, for every book purchased, our school will receive free books from Scholastic, helping us to expand our library and classroom resources for all students to enjoy.

As an extra treat, in celebration of World Book Day, each child will receive £1 off their total purchase at the Book Fair.

We hope you will join us in making this event a success and fostering a love of reading in our school community. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at the Book Fair!
