Many thanks to everyone who collected the Sainsbury's Active Kids vouchers.  We received an amazing 13586 vouchers!  This is enough to help us achieve our goal of a healthy and active school.

Thank you for your continued support.

The Year 6 production of Oliver was a smash hit.

The School was joined by Halstead Pre School for a fantastic sports day.

Something strange and wonderful happened on the playing field at Richard de Clare School on Monday evening.  The trees began to grow books from their branches!

To take advantage of this, the current Reception children and children starting in September were invited to come and explore the forest of books and share them with their families.

Parents and children had a great time sharing their favourite stories or exploring new books.  They even discovered a fairy garden and teddy bears’ picnic hidden amongst the trees.

As part of our ongoing E-Safety education Key Sage 2 pupils were visited this week by "The 2 Johns" from E Safety Training. They explored pupils attitudes to staying safe online and practical tips to ensure their safety.

Our last full day began with rain and it looked like the weather was going to try and spoil our fun, but not so.  After a brief shower the sun came out through the clouds and everyone warmed up.

We awoke to find that the rain had gone, but it was still quite windy. Nonetheless the children were raring to go after another good nights sleep and a big breakfast.
