The finale of Children's Mental Health Week was a wonderful celebration of "What Makes You Happy."

Throughout the week, the children excitedly auditioned for their chance to shine in the spotlight, showcasing their many talents with confidence and enthusiasm. The final show was filled with music, dance, laughter and creativity, a true celebration of individuality and joy.

To make the day even more special, everyone was invited to "Wear What Makes You Happy." From sports kits and superhero costumes to colourful outfits and favourite accessories, the children proudly expressed themselves and what brings them happiness.

It was a fantastic way to celebrate wellbeing, self-expression and the importance of sharing what makes us smile.🎭🎹🦸

Year 4 enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of sport at Chelmsford Athletic Centre, where they took part in the annual SuperStars competition.
The event is held over several days and brings together schools from across the Chelmsford area to compete in a range of exciting athletic activities.

We are incredibly proud of all the children for their enthusiasm, teamwork and determination.

A special congratulations goes to the team for winning bronze and silver medals in the boys' and girls' events, as well as achieving an overall first place for St. Anne's in our heat.

Well done Year 4, a brilliant achievement!🌟🥉🥈

🌟Crazy Hair Day for Cancer Research UK🌟

We’ve all enjoyed seeing the fantastic crazy hair designs around school today! There were so many creative and colourful hairstyles and decorations on display! Well done to all the children and staff who took part.

So far, an amazing £141.60 has been raised for Cancer Research UK. Thank you to everyone for your generosity and support.💆‍♀️🤩💆

Mr Trivedi is a Principal Software Engineer who is generously bringing real world industry experience into our school. He will be volunteering with our Year 6 pupils for six weeks, sharing his coding expertise and supporting them in a collaborative project.

Together, the students will work in teams to design and build a computer game, developing the code, testing functionality, and refining their work through modification and improvement.💻👾

Our Year 6 students enjoyed an enrichment drama day with pupils from Boreham School.
Through acting out the story, stepping into the characters’ shoes, and enjoying some carefully choreographed stage fighting, the children brought Shakespeare’s world to life. They explored the language, themes, and characters of Twelfth Night, gaining a lively and hands-on insight into this classic play.🎭

✨Happy New Year from St. Anne’s Preparatory School✨

🎄Year 2 Christmas Reading Bingo!🎄

Over the Christmas holidays, our Year 2 pupils have a fun challenge:

✨complete as many Reading Bingo activities as you can!

The main goal is to enjoy reading whether you’re reading independently or being read to and to share lots of lovely Christmas stories along the way.📚

And that's a wrap!

This time of year invites us to pause, reflect, and give thanks for the many blessings and shared accomplishments that have shaped our school throughout the past year.

As we break up for the Christmas holidays, we wish everyone a joyful, restful, and peaceful festive season. May your days be filled with warmth, togetherness, and plenty of festive cheer!

We look forward to welcoming you all back in the new year, refreshed and ready.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from all of us at St. Anne’s!🎄🎅🏻❄️
