Dear Parent/Carer

To build on the success of our last term’s online Parent Teacher Consultation meetings, we will be holding an online virtual parent consultation meeting via School Cloud. These will take place on 6^th-7th of July for FS2-Y6 pupils and for nursery children 7th & 9^th July. This allows you to choose your own appointment time. Once you have booked your appointment you will receive a confirmation email.

Appointments can be made from today at 4pm and will close on Wednesday 7^th July. Should you wish to make any changes after this date please contact the school office.

To support you with using this relatively new system of booking we have attached a short video and crib sheet, which you can access via this link here https://vimeo.com/473882995 You can also access this information on our school website https://www.highhazelsacademy.org.uk/parents-and-community/school-cloud-parents-evening

  If you have more than one child in school, one date of birth will give you access to book appointments for all of your children in school.

Dear Parents/Carers

Our school will be taking part in the 10 day Active Travel Challenge starting on Monday 14^th and finishing on Friday 25^rd June 2021. 

The challenge is for pupils & their families to choose an active way of getting to school over the 10 day period. During the challenge each classroom will have a wall chart on which pupils who have travelled actively will record their journey. Those pupils with 10 stickers on the chart at the end of the 10 day challenge will be awarded a prize. 

Walking, cycling, skating, scooting and park & stride are all active ways of travelling and we hope by taking part in the challenge it will:  

• Improve health & wellbeing of our pupils & their families 
• Encourage pupils and families to be more active 
• Reduce congestion and parking problems around our school 
• Improve air quality around school 
• Promote active travel for the journey to school and for families to continue to do this after the challenge! 

Dear Parents/Carers

We have had another busy half term packed with events and successes, including our most recent Eid-ul-Fitr parties. We have made fantastic gains in learning with all our pupils regardless of their starting point. I have been particularly impressed with our pupils’ strong and positive behaviours for learning and determination to do well in all their learning. This half term the staff have run 26 different clubs free to all our pupils across the school. These extra-curricular activities included: arts, sports, music, cooking, funky fingers, and mindfulness to name a few. We will be running a new range of after school clubs again next half term. Please continue to sign up your child/ren for these clubs as they play an integral part in our offer of ‘Education with Character’.

I am really looking forward to next half term and to having all our pupils back in school. The final half term of the academic year is always packed with events celebrating the successes of our pupils amongst other events. Teachers will be holding another round of parent consultation meeting to share your child/ren’s progress over the year. Our admin and pastoral team will be able to support you in setting up those online meetings if you haven’t yet attended one.

Finally, thank you all for your continued support and encouragement.

Dear Parent/Carer

This half term we are continuing with enrichment clubs. These clubs will take place with the member of staff from your child’s bubble, and only for those children within that bubble will be able to attend. We will follow all guidelines to ensure our staff and children are safe.

We would like to invite your child to take part in the clubs on the allocated day as stated below, and clubs will run from Monday 7^th June to Friday 9^th July 2021. Parents if you wish for your child to attend their class club, please click the consent button on your text message.

The clubs available for Y1 are:-

Y1 Emerald - Handwriting Club - Monday 3.30 - 4pm

The teachers want to say a big well done to Y1 on a fantastic term! We have really enjoyed seeing the children grow and mature further in their learning.

We have really enjoyed reading a range of books such as Beegu and Claude in the City. We loved learning about the alien Beegu and creating our very own planets and story about our very own aliens. The children have shown great determination in their writing and the teachers have seen amazing progress. In Maths the children have really enjoyed their Fractions block and are now experts in finding a half and a quarter!

This term we have enjoyed visiting the computer suite and have learnt lots of new skills such as typing, editing and saving. We also had some time designing our own pictures on ‘Paint’ and working with our talk partners to discuss them.

Well done for a fantastic term Y1, we cannot wait to see you back after the holidays.
