Learning & Growing Queen Boudica Primary School Happy New Year! We can’t quite believe that it’s 2023, but are back in school this week and enjoying hearing about everyone’s holiday activities. We all send best wishes to you and your families, and hope that 2023 will be a happy and healthy one for everyone. Whilst it still feels very dark in the mornings and evenings, I know that the daylight is gradually increasing and that the Spring weather will be here before we know it. Our Spring bulbs are appearing around the school grounds, which is very exciting to see. We all greatly enjoyed our Christmas celebrations and were so pleased to see so many members of our school community joining us. It truly was a ‘Season of Goodwill’ as we all came together to care for our community and share the joy of Christmas. We were very privileged to have been able to take part in several ‘community goodwill’ events over the festive season, reinforcing that true meaning of Christmas for us all. A very big ‘thank you’ must go to our families who had responded to the School Council’s request, and who generously donated items of food. We took these to Colchester foodbank and I know that every item will have made a difference to a family. We were also very fortunate to have been part of Dunelm’s ‘Delivering Joy’ project this year; what a wonderful campaign that was. Thank you very much to Dunelm for including us, and to everyone who donated gifts to the campaign: it was so kind of you and was greatly appreciated by our community. We are also very grateful to Myland Council for their generous donation of funds, which we are going to utilise this term to benefit all our pupils: thank you very much! You may have seen in the local press that our school choir visited Woodland View Care Home to share some Christmas spirit and festive fun with the residents 31
