La Salette Catholic Primary School

A group of our Year 5 pupils attended Brittons Academy with our Maths Lead, Mr Geary, to take part in the Primary Maths Challenge. They competed against 12 teams to solve complex mathematical questions and we are very proud to say they came 4th! A great achievement for our pupils and a lovely experience for all the children involved!

A big thank you to all of the parents who came along to our first coffee morning. It was great to see so many people there and our HEST Team had some really useful conversations with parents; helping to explaining what services are available to all families through Havering. We intend to hold a coffee morning every half term going forward!

We are incredibly pleased to still be the 1st ranked school for pupil attendance against 58 comparison school in the local authority. A big thank you to all our families who place such a value on the education the children recieve!

Year 2 visited Brentwood Cathedral and met with Father Matus, who gave us a personal tour. They found out all about this special place, what the Bishop does and why Cathedrals are important to us. It was a great way to engage in our Catholic faith.

Year 5 treated us to a wonderful Easter Story Assembly. It was an absolute joy to experience and the effort the children put into learning their parts and all of the songs was amazing to see. It was a real showcase of how confident and skilled the children have become and a lovely way to end the term before Holy Week.

We were pleased to welcome back the Nite owl Company, who brought their winged friends along to introduce to the children. It was a very exciting display and the children learned about each type of owl and the importance of protecting our environment and the animals that live around us.

Year 4’s assembly was a great showcase of the importance of music and singing in our lives, as well as recognising and valuing the unique talents that God has given us. It was wonderful to see the children so confident and proud.

Reading is such a key skill in our lives and provides us with joy, adventure and escape from our daily lives. We enjoyed a fun-filled Reading Week with the highlight being our World Book Day Dress Up. It was great to see the children in their costumes and keen to share their favourite authors.
