Mobile Library The mobile library will be at school on Wednesday 9th June. Please make sure that your child returns all books on loan to them.
School Website As many parents have already noticed, the school website has gone through many changes over the last few months. We have recently created a new page for PAWS, to help them keep parents up to date with their full schedule of activities. We have also added pages for four of the subjects being taught in class (more subjects to be added soon). So please come and visit the website and see how we have made it more accessible, more informative, and more enjoyable for parents and pupils.
I hope you all have a lovely half-term break, see you all on 7th June.

Storybags– Help Needed We are looking for parents, grandparents and carers who can help with a literacy project we are involved in. Anyone who is willing to donate time to undertake tasks such as sewing, colouring, cutting or sorting and packing materials please let Mrs. Allen know as soon as possible.
Sainsbury's Vouchers Please continue to save these vouchers and bring them in to school to put towards P.E. equipment for our children. The offer runs out in June, so please send them in before then. Thank you.
Uniform At Glade we believe that school uniform encourages a sense of pride in the school and an appropriate attitude in the children’s mind for the daily work. It discourages peer pressure in regard to fashions and the emotional and financial implications that we wish to avoid. The uniform is as follows:
Regular Uniform and P.E.Uniform
Yellow polo shirt/white shirt
Green sweatshirt with logo/Green cardigan
Yellow/Green check dress
Black/Grey trousers
Grey skirt/pinafore/shorts
Black shoes/trainers
P.E. Uniform
Plain white T-shirt
Black/Navy shorts
Black/Navy leotard
Black/White plimsolls
Please note that jewellery is NOT a part of school uniform and only watches should be worn.

Puzzle 1: Mr Kitto was exactly 5 years older than his wife and they had two children, who were twins and went to the local comprehensive school.

“As you are aware I was the announcer at the ESSA Division 8 gala held on Sunday at Loughton Leisure Centre. I am writing to say how impressed I was, as were others, with the team you bought along. They were polite, extremely well behaved and looked very smart in their school tracksuits. I think they were a credit to you as their team manager and their school as a whole, I hope you are all very proud of them. I wish them all the best of luck with their future swimming
competitions.”
