📢📢 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!

Sequencing

Sequencing is so important, especially when making food! Students practiced 'before' and 'after' and then quizzed Mrs Matthews on her knowledge of the text!

Y4 Swimming Sessions

Dear Parent/Carers

I am writing to inform you that children in Year 4 will be starting swimming lessons as part of their PE curriculum on Tuesday, 10th September 2024. Pupils will attend school as normal on Tuesdays and will travel, supervised by school staff, via coach to the Ponds Forge Leisure Centre each week. The swimming sessions will run until Tuesday, 28th January 2025 and will be taught by qualified swimming instructors. The sessions are fully funded by school, and as they are part of the curriculum, all children are expected to participate.

For each lesson your child will need to come to school dressed in their swimwear (underneath their school uniform).

They will also need to bring the following:

  • A towel
  • A waterproof bag
  • A change of underwear

Please ensure you follow the guidance below:

  • Your child should not bring or wear any jewelry, including ear piercings. Taping over piercings is not acceptable and will mean your child cannot participate in a swimming session.
  • Long hair must be tied back.
  • The teacher will ensure any medication which has been shared with school is taken with the child’s group. If your child has a medical need such as asthma, this information has been shared with school and an inhaler has been provided.
  • Appropriate swimwear must be worn each week. Please do not send your child in shorts below the knee, heavy outdoor clothing or underwear.
  • If your child is required to wear a long sleeve top and leggings, these should be lightweight materials and worn underneath or on top of swimwear.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher.

 

Yours sincerely

Miss Field

🥪🥪🍓🍓 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
