Year 3 to Hadleigh Roundhouse

Year 3 to Hadleigh Roundhouse

The Year 3 children enjoyed an amazing day out at Hadleigh Roundhouse. Everyone learnt so much and had a great deal of fun. In the morning we went into the house and went on a scavenger hunt to find lots of facts and information. We also went on an archaeological dig and found a skull with a hole in it. In the afternoon Miss McMillan became a Celtic warrior. We then practised our sword skills and learnt how to defend our bodies with a shield. Our final activity was making bal

Year 6 Camping Residential to Danbury

Year 6 Camping Residential to Danbury

Well, where do I start? Another year at Danbury and after three years staying in wooden cabins we were back in the tents for 2019. Two night under canvas. The children were very excited at the prospect. Mrs Hudson? A little less so! The coach arrived at 10am on the Monday morning and everyone was organised and ready to get going. After loading the bags onto the coach, some of which were rather large for a three-day trip, we were off and on our way to deepest, darkest Essex. J

Portico Cricket festival

On Thursday 4th July, six year 2 children from Porters Grange Primary School took part in a 3T’s cricket competition against Friars and Hamstel Infants. The children competed really well. We competed against Friars first and this was a draw and then we played Hamstel which we lost. This was a fantastic achievement as the children had only learned the game the week before!

Year 6 Southend Week

Whilst most of Year 6 went camping at Danbury, those who stayed behind enjoyed: a cooking experience at Waitrose, creative fun and games at East Beach, and a fun swim on Wednesday. On Monday, the remaining pupils went to Waitrose where they were given a tour of the store and also made chocolate cupcakes (the parents won’t know this as I am guessing they didn’t get any!). On Tuesday, everyone went on the train to Shoebury East Beach and created beach art, out of sand seaweed a

Borough Sports

Borough Sports

Congratulations to the 19 children who took part in the Key Stage 1 borough sports this month. They all practised hard for their event with our lunch-time coach; as a result they made a number of finals and were it not for an accident may well have won the relay! Their behaviour was outstanding; they are a credit to themselves, their families and the school. All of the children gave 100% in each event and we are very proud of them. Well done to them all! A huge well done to t
