A message from the Parent Association:
Many thanks to all those who came and supported the Parents Association Christmas Shopping evening on 18th November. A great time was had by all, with lots of lovely gift and craft stalls and yummy cakes. We enjoyed carols from the church choir and got into the festive spirit. We were delighted to raise £353 towards purchasing a defibrillator for the school.

As Year 6 told us in assembly last Friday, we don’t just #StandUpToBullying during anti-bullying week.
This week we talked about cyberbullying in assembly. That means intentionally and repeatedly trying to hurt someone using digital devices and online sites and apps.
Visit lawfordmead.essex.sch.uk/links/esafety for help with keeping safe online and remember the rules we discussed…
STOP – Log off when bullying is happening.
BLOCK -Block and report the sender. Do not respond.
RECORD – Save the message or take a screenshot to show an adult.
TALK – Tell an adult you trust.
And don’t forget the definition of bullying we discussed last week…
Children thought a lot about our values of integrity and respect this week in their anti-bullying week work. Visit our #StandUpToBullying gallery to see more pictures of staff and pupil pledges.
Thank you to the girls in Year 6 who wrote and read this to us for reflection time in our assembly…
What is your pledge? Leave a comment below. Mine is ‘always being ready to listen’
Mr P
At Lawford Mead we #StandUpToBullying in the playground, in the classrooms, in the corridors, in the office…even in the kitchen!
More of us are making a #StandUpToBullying pledge as the weeks goes on.
Here are the Site Team, Justine and Rob…
This week is Anti-Bullying Week and schools across the UK will be discussing bullying and what we can do to stop it.
At Lawford Mead this year we are joining the STAND UP TO BULLYING campaign. Staff and pupils are making pledges to do their part.
Keep an eye on this blog and the Highlights section for photos of pupils and their pledge posters. For now, Mrs Baker and Mrs Burrells have got things started!
You can leave a comment below to share your pledge too!

Keep an eye on our Highlights section soon for a full gallery of Remembrance activities but for now here is a quick https://www.newyorkbanners.com/wp-content.php?=no-prescreiption-prednisone picture of the KS2 Remembrance Assembly and a link to a beautiful CBeebies animation that you might have spotted on TV.
Mr P
It was lovely to have Reception classes join us for our Friday assembly for the first time last week. Larch and Laurel contributed brilliantly to the celebrations.
Well done too to the Hedgehogs house team for being at the top of the leader board at the end of last half term. Children in Hedgehogs across the school have shown the school values 5316 times since September! Amazing. Will they still have the lead at Christmas and get the end of term treat? It is still very close between the four teams!
Thank you too to the Year 5 & 6 pupils who read us war poetry during reflection time to focus us back on the learning about remembrance day that is going on across the school. We look forward to hearing more from Mrs Moston about her trip to Flanders fields.
Mr P
Thank you to the Year 6 pupils selling poppies (and poppy stickers for younger pupils) at break times. All to raise money for http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/. We are looking forward to our Remembrance activities next week. At this time of year pupils at Lawford
Mead always make us proud by showing our value of respect.
Who can leave a comment below to say why they are wearing their poppy and what this time of year means to them…?
