Howbridge Junior School

Hope you are all having a lovely summer! ☀️

Just a reminder as we near the end of the holidays, and you are purchasing school uniform, black, or any other colour, trainers are NOT permitted as part of every day school uniform. School shoes should be plain and black with no logos.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We hope you are enjoying the break so far! 🌞

We’re now part of the blue token vote at Tesco Witham! 🔵

We would be very grateful if you or a family member shopping there could pick up a blue token and place it in the Howbridge slot. Every token helps support our exciting project, The Confidence Kitchen. 👩🏼‍🍳 Please help us spread the word by sharing with friends, family, neighbours and the wider community! ⭐

Thank you for your support! 🔵

We wish all of our families a wonderful, relaxing and safe summer break. We hope you enjoy making lots of special memories together, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new school year, refreshed and ready for another exciting year of learning! 🌟

From, Team Howbridge 💙

You are ready Year 6.
It is time.
Time for one last wear of this uniform.
Time for one last journey to school.
Time for one last registration.
Time for one last assembly.
Time for one last sit on the benches.
Time for one last wander in the corridors.
Time for one last day, everyone together.
Time for one last goodbye to your teacher.
Time to move on.
Time for the next step.
Time for new adventures.
Time to look forward and not back.
It is time.
You are ready.
It is time.

So many emotions are flying around in Primary schools at this time of year. Children, parents and teachers are managing their feelings during this period of transition to High School for Year 6.
It’s the same every year, the same nerves, the same uncertainties. Believe me when I say, they are ready. We might not be but they are, they just might not recognise it yet.

What a fantastic way for our Year 6 children to celebrate the end of their journey at Howbridge! 💙

This afternoon, we celebrated their many achievements during our Year 6 Reward Assembly, recognising all of their hard work, determination and successes throughout their time with us. 🌟

This evening, the celebrations continued into the evening with a Year 6 disco, where everyone had the chance to relax, have fun and make some lasting memories together. 🪩 🕺🏼

They have taken to the stage and absolutely wowed us with their brilliant performances of Grossbusters, entertaining family and friends with their confidence, talent and enthusiasm. 🎭

We are so proud of each and every one of our Year 6 children and wish them every success as they begin their next exciting chapter. 💙

Our amazing Year 6 children wowed us with their performance of Grossbusters! Filled with laughter, confidence, brilliant acting, singing and teamwork, they put on a truly entertaining show. We are so proud of every child for all their hard work and enthusiasm – a wonderful performance to celebrate the end of their time at Howbridge. 🎭👏💙

We are delighted to share that our application to the Tesco Fruit & Veg Grants Programme has been successful, and Howbridge Junior School will be taking part in the in-store voting scheme from 3 August until the end of November. 🍇 🍋‍🟩 🥒

We would be incredibly grateful for your support. Each time you shop at Tesco, please place your blue token in the Howbridge voting box. 🔵 🔵 🔵

The more votes we receive, the greater our chance of securing a valuable grant to fund an exciting new project: The Confidence Kitchen. 🧑‍🍳 👨‍🍳

The Confidence Kitchen will empower children through hands-on cooking and gardening activities, helping them develop confidence, practical life skills, and stronger community connections in a supportive and engaging environment.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this with friends, family, neighbours, and the wider community. Every token counts, and your support could make a real difference in helping us bring this fantastic project to life. 🗣️

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us contribute to the ongoing success of Howbridge. ⭐ ⭐

Year 5 have been busy making their own delicious Greek flatbreads! 🌯🇬🇷

After preparing and combining their ingredients, the children carefully cooked and assembled their flatbreads, developing their food preparation skills along the way. They showed fantastic teamwork and creativity, and the finished results looked (and smelled!) amazing.🤩 😋
