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!

This week in nursery we have continued to learn more sounds with Fred the frog! We have learnt the sound ‘S’- slither down the snake and ‘d’- down the dinosaurs body up his tall neck and down to his feet. The children have been practising saying, spotting and writing the sounds independently. They have even been completing their phonics homework and been bringing it back to school to show the teachers! We have also been reading the gingerbread man story and remembering what characters are in the story. The children have been painting pictures of the gingerbread man, cutting them out with playdough and retelling the story using props. We can’t wait for next week when we will bake our own gingerbread man and take it home to eat!

The Y5's have really enjoyed doing lots of experiments in Science. We've been learning all about forces, including air resistance, water resistance and gravity plus documenting our results accurately. Keep it up, Y5!

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!

This week in nursery we have been playing and learning outside. The children have been so busy cooking in the mud kitchen, exploring the water area and drawing pictures. In phonics Fred the frog has taught us a new sound! 'M' - Maisie mountain mountain. The children have been practising drawing the sound and spotting it around nursery. It has been a lovely week learning together with our friends!

In our DT units we have been learning how to make pop up books. We started by looking at some good examples and the kind of mechanisms used in them. After that, we started to build our making skills by trying out the different mechanisms.  We love how these features can bring a book to life - we can't wait to make our own. 

Dear Parents/Carers

We are delighted to let you know that Year 6 will be taking part in a Fun Run at Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park. This is sure to be a wonderful morning for all and is a fantastic opportunity for your child to learn new skills, challenge themselves and have fun with their friends.

The Fun Run event will take place on Thursday 19^th May 2022. The children will be participating in a run around the Olympic Legacy Park, competing against other schools.

This event will be run by qualified instructors (from Sport Links Sheffield) and High Hazels staff will be there to support throughout the morning.

Please ensure that your child wears an appropriate PE kit and trainers for this session.  

There is no cost for this trip. We shall leave school after the register and walk to the event. We will return by lunchtime so your child can have their packed lunch or school dinner as normal.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher or Mr. Sexton.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr. Sexton
