FAMILY FUN
Thurrock Community College have launched a range of activities for
families for Saturday mornings which sound like great fun, and a
great way to spend a family Saturday morning. Activities include
Build a Bridge Challenge, Build a Super Hero Challenge and a Raw
Egg Challenge! The Saturday morning activities are £2.50. There are
also some week-day after school courses including Family Yoga,
Food for Fitness, Family French, and Family Arts and Crafts which will
be running in February and April. The cost is £5.00 for the after school
activities. For more details visit https://www.thurrock.gov.uk/

ATTENDANCE CHALLENGE
Starting from Monday 30th January, the whole of the GLC are
taking part in an Attendance Challenge. Our houses,
Armstrong, Redgrave, Seacole and Shakespeare will be
competing against the overall attendance of the other GLC
houses. There are 21 in total. Currently, Armstrong are in 4th
place across the GLC. Herringham won the Autumn Term
challenge recently, and are really keen to hang on to our
championship title! Let’s look for 100% attendance!

PUNCTUALITY
Well it has to be some sort of record –
once again, every single class lost
learning time last week – not one single
class managed to have all of their
children arrive on time. A total of 16
hours and 35 minutes learning time was
lost; considering that the school day is
only 5 hours, that is more than three days
learning time lost across the school.
School starts at 8.45am every morning.
The doors are open from 8.30am
onwards for registration. If you arrive
after 8.45am then your child is late for
school. If your child is late, then they
need to do catch up at break time.
