Our Year 1 pupils walked to St. Mary's Church this week. It was lovely hearing the Christmas Story in the oldest building in Hayes. Thank you Father Wheeler!

Representatives from Hayes Town Forum visited the school this week to present prizes to the winners of the Hayes Town Treasure Hunt 2023. The winners were awarded £20.00 in cash and a wrist watch which were donated as prizes by local businesses. Well done to the winners and don't forget to take part next year for a chance to win some great prizes. 

This week, all year groups enjoyed watching the Pantomime "Jack and the Beanstalk." We couldn't believe that the giant was trying to take over the village. He even gave Jill a cursed potion that made her evil! Luckily, Jack and his mother rescued Jill and cut down the beanstalk. We joined in with their dancing at the end of the show.

Reception children enjoyed a visit to Botwell Green Library and listened to an exciting monster story whilst we were there. Amy, the librarian, sang songs with us and told us all the different things we could do at the library. For example, go on computers, read stories, play on the games table and borrow footballs. 

The Hillingdon Holiday Activities and Food Programme will take place from Tueday 2nd January to Friday 5th January 2024. The programme is open to school-aged children who receive benefits-related free school meals.

As part of their history topic, 'Toys from the past,' our Year 1 Children had a visit from Chertsey Toy Museum. They were able to explore toys from the past with a range of real and replica toys from 120-60 years ago. They also looked at how different toys work and how they have changed over time.

Year 2 enjoyed a Superhero themed visit to Botwell Green Library. They learnt about the services the Library offers, listened to a story and designed their own Superhero.

What a fun filled day we had at Minet for World Children’s Day on Wednesday!

Children learnt about the importance of:

Article 42-You have the right to know your rights! Adults should know about these rights and help you learn about them, too.

The whole school did activities to learn that rights are for all children, everywhere. They are equal and they are connected. They cannot be denied and are your rights until you are 18 years old. From looking at the rights, to making recycled instruments and writing about their ideas for World Peace, our children showed a very mature understanding of rights and we are really proud of them!

We also took part in Shoeshare and as a school we have collected approximately 200 pairs of shoes! Well done to Cameroon class who collected 21 pairs and together we are helping more children access their right to:

Article 28-You have the right to a good quality education.

We will be taking these shoes to Clarks and also helping the environment by them being recycled and not going into landfill. 

The children in Year 2 enjoyed dressing up as their favourite Superhero for our themed Superhero day. They all looked fantastic and were very excited about our new book ‘Traction Man.’

Year 2 visited the Mosque Masjid in Northolt as part of their RE learning. They looked at different features of a Mosque and the artefacts used in the Islam religion.
