Dear
Parent/Carer
We have had
a busy few weeks.
Remembrance
Day was commemorated beautifully with a whole school assembly and the children
keeping a minute’s silence. Every child
also made their own poppy and placed them carefully around the focal point in
our hall.
Children in Need was a roaring success. Staff and children dressed up in superhero
costumes and pyjamas. The school council
arranged our trade fair on the yard where all the children were able to buy a
wide selection of books, videos, toys etc. as well as being able to have their
face or nails painted or even throw water sponges at ‘Superman’! In total the school raised a fantastic £423.82 which has now been forwarded
to the charity. Thank you to all the
families who contributed to this worthwhile cause.
The children also had a great day yesterday with the author Mark
Dorey where everyone had the chance to listen to storytelling and participate
in writing workshops. The children have
also been challenged to take part in next year’s BBC2’s ‘500 words’
competition.
However, due
to the mishap with the gate to the Junior Yard, the author has agreed to visit
the school again next week to sign books and meet parents in our new library
area.
If you are
interested and would like to meet the author, please contact the school. Depending on the numbers of people
interested, I can then contact Mr Dorey and arrange a day for him to visit
again!
Year 5 and 6 – Grease at Hawthorn High School
Please ensure the children are in school for 8.45am
on Monday 24th November. The
coaches will be picking up between 8.50 and 9.00am as the performance will
start at 9.30 am.
The children will need to bring their own snack and
drink for break as the canteen at the High school is cashless.
Coaches will pick up at 12.30pm from Hawthorn to
deliver the children back to school – arrangements have been made for children
to eat their lunch a little later than usual.
The children will be supervised by school
staff throughout
Nursery and
Reception
Tickets will be available soon for the ‘Nativity’
as performed by our superstars in Nursery and Reception. We will have 2 tickets available per family
for each of two dates (10th December and 11th
December). Each of these performances
will be at 1.30pm. We hope that Year 1
and 2 will be able to watch the children rehearse on 9th December.
Parents’
Evening for Hazel Class
As Mrs Jones was ill during the Parents Evening in
October, appointments will be made available early in the Spring Term. Thank you for your patience in this matter.
Thanks
Mrs
Loveridge
