On Wednesday 8^th June 2022 we will be celebrating the Platinum Jubilee. This is our day to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s 70^th anniversary of taking the throne.

To celebrate this day in school we are asking that children dress up as a King or Queen. We would really like children to make their own costumes and we will be looking for the most creative costume.

Here are some websites to help you create a great outfit.

Throughout the day, children will be taking part in activities celebrating our Queen such as a tea party, creating their own crowns and a corgi treasure hunt. We hope the children enjoy this day and come together to celebrate this special occasion.

Thank you for your continued support

In Celebration of The Queen's Jubilee this year, Year 3 have read 'The Queen's Knickers' by Nicholas Allen, and having been inspired, designed a brand-new pair of knickers for the Queen. Check out our creative 'Queen's Knicker's' bunting that pupils created using card, fabric, and paints!

Year 3 have been loving their Moving Monsters unit in DT! We learned all about pneumatic systems and how they work, designed our own moving monsters, and then created our monsters based on our design criteria. Check them out!

Enrichment clubs have begun in full flow this term, and Year 3 have been enjoying them all thoroughly. This week in Origami Club, pupils made little dogs with a cute, animated face to give it some character. We are excited to make Origami flowers, boats, ice-cream and even Pokémon over the next few weeks!

Dear Parents,

Update on Leadership at High Hazels Academy

We wanted to update you on progress with appointing a successor to Mrs Maqsood-Shah as Principal of the academy.

The recruitment process is, unfortunately, taking longer than we had hoped as we are very keen to choose a candidate with the appropriate mix of skills and experience to suit the school and its community.

Whilst we continue with the process, Mr Paul Graham, who is Principal of our Abbey Hey Primary Academy in Gorton, Manchester and knows High Hazels well, will be working with the Senior Leadership Team to support the successful running of the school. Mr Graham is a highly experienced headteacher and is looking forward to spending time at High Hazels. He will be liaising with Mrs Maqsood-Shah and the Vice Principals this term so that he is fully involved with the planning for the next academic year.  

We will update you on the recruitment process for a permanent Principal when a successful appointment is made.

Yours sincerely

Tanya Hughes

Primary Regional Director, United Learning

Dear Parents/Carers

I would like to wish Eid Mubarak to all our families who will be celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr.

As a whole school, we will be having Eid parties on Friday, 6^th May 2022.  As done previously, we are asking parents/carers for a £1 contribution per child to be brought into class.  The money will be used to purchase party food and drink for all the children.

Please note that the 6^th May will also be a non-uniform day for all the children.

As always, if your child has any allergies then please ensure their medical records are up to date in the office.

Thank you for your continued support

Mrs A Maqsood-Shah

Principal

Dear Parents/Carers

As we are approaching warmer weather please can parents ensure that children bring a water bottle to school each day.

Many thanks

In Writing, Year 3 have been learning all about Fables. We read the story of 'The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing' and retold it using talk for writing. We created actions for the sinister, cunning wolf, lone shepherd and the oblivious sheep. After learning the story, we are excited to innovate it and write our very own descriptive fables!
