Dear families

At the opening ceremony of the new library on January 17, the first children through the door audibly gasped as they finally got to see what's been going on behind the scenes and discover the treasure trove of books inside.

High Hazels reading lead Farhana Ali said: "It started out as a small project but it grew so quickly. We are a big school and we needed to do it justice.

"It was a lot of work but the estates team have done amazingly and the attention to detail is amazing. Even the radiators are beautiful."

Ms Elliott said: Reading is at the core of our curriculum. Our phonics and whole class reading sessions are designed to make sure all our pupils are able to read fluently and proficiently by the time they leave Y6.

The opening ceremony on January 17 also included a reading and workshop with Sheffield children's author/illustrator Bethan Woollvin.

Good morning families,

Please join us in congratulating our Y6 pride and value award winning pupils this week.

Year 3 are writing twisted tales. To help them generate ideas they were given special boxes with random objects relating to a fairytales. This inspired us to tell the tale from a different viewpoint.

"The FS2 children have had a busy morning decorating crowns and goblets ready for their royal banquet this afternoon." 

Our Y6 board games club is underway! We really enjoyed learning a new game, working together and, of course, getting competitive! 

Yesterday was a very special day for Year 1, we had our favourite author Bethan Woollvin in our school and she has shown us how to draw characters from her books. Y1 also had their first ever book signing experience and they LOVED it! Thank you Bethan, we will cherish these books forever.

Last week FS2 Garnet got 100% attendance for the week! Wow! well done! Bringing your child to school everyday gives them the best chance at success! 

Year 4 have been invited to work with Sheffield Music Hub on something very exciting! Here's a snippet of our first practice with Liam. Stay tuned for more information.
