Dear families

Our first set of Opal (Opportunities for Play and Learning) equipment went out onto the field yesterday. It was Y6 field day, the building site, mud pit and sand pit were a great success. The children were engaged and genuinely upset when lunchtime ended.

On our new building site some of the Y6 boys role played for over 40 minutes!

In the sandpit the children built sandcastles and some of the girls built a volcano.

More photos will follow as more areas develop

Dear families

We’ve got some exciting news to share with you.

Parentkind – a charity that supports school PTAs - have teamed up with Asda, who is making millions of pounds available to donate to primary schools across the UK through their ‘Cashpot for Schools’ initiative. To support our school, all you have to do is opt-in through the Asda Rewards app, shop and scan in store or shop online at Asda.com.

Between 2^nd September and 30^th November 2024 – every time you shop with Asda using your Asda Rewards app, Asda will donate 0.5% of the value of your shop to your chosen Primary school. Also, every time somebody opts-in to support our Primary school, Asda will give an additional £1 to the school Cashpot. Plus, it doesn’t stop there – Asda are also giving £50 to every school to get them started.

The supermarket has joined forces with Joe Wicks to support the initiative – look out for the TV advert, radio ads and social media coverage!

It’s as easy as 1,2,3

1. Download the Asda Rewards app, register and opt-in to Cashpot for Schools (make sure you have the latest version of the app installed)

2. Choose our Primary School – either searching by name or postcode

3. Shop instore across Asda and George, or online at Asda.com and start filling your Cashpot as you shop

Asda does the rest, all money raised will be donated to schools to spend on the things they need the most. 

Remember, anyone can sign up – so start spreading the news and raising funds for our school.

This initiative is on top of the existing Asda Rewards benefits you get as a shopper – so you won’t lose out on any of your own earnings or Cashpot, so everyone is a winner!

In the last couple of days our parents have already raised £63, thank you to all our families who have helped so far!

Dear Parents/Carers

On Friday, 18^th October the Year 1 children will be going on a visit to Sheffield Crucible Theatre. This is part of a music project that they children have been involved with. They will see a performance of the story Giddy Goat and be able to join in with the songs. Children will leave school at 9am and will be back in time for home time.

The cost of the visit will be £2.00. This will cover the cost of the bus. Please can parents bring money in a sealed named envelope to the school office at least 1 week before. Please consent for the trip on the arbor app/parental portal.

Children will receive a packed lunch from school. If your child has an allergy, please provide their lunch for them.

They will need to come to school in their uniform.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask any of the Year 1 team.

Yours sincerely

Year 1 team.

Dear families

At High Hazels we strongly believe in promoting healthy eating and encouraging a balanced diet. Snacks play an integral role in a child's daily nutrition, providing them with necessary energy and nutrients, and healthy snacks contribute positively to their well-being. We ask for parent’s support in ensuring that snacks sent to school align with the principles of healthy eating. Please see healthy snack ideas on the picture attached.

Dear families

It is important that your child has the right start to their day. Children who arrive late miss learning time and start the day with an unsettled routine. Our school gates all open at 8.40am, and close at 8.50am, all children are expected to arrive between 8.40 – 8.50am and be ready to learn in their classrooms by 8.55am.  Children arriving after 9am will be registered as late.

Good attendance is linked to a child's achievement at school.  Appointments with doctors, dentists or hospital should be made outside of school hours or in the holidays.

Don’t forget every day counts!

Good morning families,

We hope that you have all enjoyed your summer break spending time with your children and loved ones. All staff have returned to school today to complete training and ensure that our school is ready to welcome all children back on Wednesday 4th September. School will be open from 8am for breakfast club, and all other school gates will open at 8.40am.

We would also like to wish all our previous Year 6 pupils’ good luck on starting their secondary school adventures this week!
