🎨🎨Monoprinting🎨🎨

In Y2 this week we have been looking at monoprinting pictures of different patterns we found around school. We rolled ink onto our page and drew around an outline of a picture to print it in our ink. It was so much fun 🙂

📢📢 Asda Cashpot For Schools 📢📢

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 2nd September and 30th 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!

For more details, visit asda.com/cashpotforschools

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

🥪🥪🍓🍓 Healthy Packed Lunches & Snacks 🥪🥪🍓🍓

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.

Attendance & Punctuality - Everyday counts

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!

Attendance & Punctuality - Everyday counts

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

New School Uniform for September 2024

Dear Parents and Carers

In a bid to make things more affordable, we have decided to change our school uniform slightly.

We have swapped our v-neck knitted jumpers/cardigans for navy blue sweatshirts/cardigans either with or without the logo.

We will no longer be having ties and children will be able to wear black jogging bottoms as well as trousers and black trainers or shoes. 

White Polo shirts can be worn instead of plain white shirts and girls can wear a pull over type (not loose) scarf in navy or black.

Parents will be able to order the sweatshirts and cardigans, book bags and Pe bags as usual from the school office.

New Price List – Please note Pinders have changed ownership and therefore have new suppliers, you will notice the change in price of our book bags and shoulder bags.

Sweatshirts - £8.50

Cardigans – £9.00

Small Book Bag with logo - £4.50

Shoulder Book Bag with logo - £9.00

Pe Bags with logo - £3.00

 

As usual it is expected that children wear their uniform everyday unless otherwise instructed.

It is also expected that all children have their PE kits in school everyday so that they can change clothes for their PE lessons.

There are some picture examples of our uniform and PE kits on the weekly sway page.

If you have any questions regarding uniform, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your continuing support.

Yours sincerely

Ms Elliott
