Welcome to the week!

Homework
Just a reminder to clarify homework.  This week year 1 have maths homework, and year 2 have maths and comprehension.  Please bring completed homework in by Wednesday each week.  On Friday this week when homework is given out again, it will also include a phonic task for all children, which will currently be given on a fortnightly basis.  Reading should be completed every day if possible and every read noted in the diary so that we can reward and praise where appropriate.

Eco-Councillors
Thank you all for helping your children to make such excellent Eco-Councillor applications.  It is a tricky task to select only one pupil for each class, but watch this space as names will be announced soon.

House Photo
Thank you all for sending in the photograph of your house.  If you have not sent it in then please do so as soon as possible, so that we can use it this week in our project work.  Remember you can send by email to:  office@downhall.essex.sch.uk.

Parent Evenings 21st and 22nd October
Appointments are live on the Scopay site so if you have yet to make one please do so!

Happy Monday everyone!

SHOESHARE SUCCESS!



Thank you to everyone from Down Hall Primary School who took part in Shoeshare
in conjunction with Clarks of Rayleigh. 

Together we collected this huge tower of shoes to be sent for re-use.  
For every tonne of shoes collected, a donation is made to UNICEF which goes
towards education programmes around the world, helping children to enjoy their rights wherever they are.


Article 27: Every child has the right to an adequate standard of living to meet 
their needs. 

Article 28: Every child has a right to an education.

Article 1 & 2: Everyone under 18 has these rights, regardless of ethnicity, 
gender and religion.
