Year 2 had lots of fun during their pickleball taster session! We learned how to hold the paddle safely and practised hitting and controlling the ball. Everyone tried their best and showed excellent listening and teamwork skills.

The children enjoyed working with their friends, taking turns, and cheering each other on. There were lots of smiles and laughter as we played fun games and tried a new sport together.

Year 1 became real geographers today as they explored Hayes Town, identifying human and physical features in the local area. They observed buildings, roads, green spaces and landmarks, and used their findings to help answer our enquiry question: What is Hayes used for? The children showed great curiosity and enthusiasm as they investigated their local environment.

Year 1 have completed an environmental survey. We carried out one survey at school and then walked to Minet Country Park. Thankfully, it was a sunny day!

While we were out, the children looked carefully at the environment around them. They were checking for litter, graffiti, noise and other things they could see and hear. The children were very observant and enjoyed exploring the local area.

The Year 2 children have just started their new topic in T4W. We went on a school trip to the Living Rainforest and had a wonderful time. The children were excited from the moment we arrived and loved exploring the different animals together. They listened carefully, asked lots of questions and enjoyed learning throughout the day. The children had a really wonderful day. 

The school is very proud to announce that is has been awarded the IQM Inclusive School Award. The award recognises and celebrates schools who are committed to inclusion and to creating an environment where every children feels a true sense of belonging and can thrive. The school also achieved IQM Centre of Excellence status as the school demonstrates exemplary practice in inclusion. The IQM report said "Inclusion is at the heart of all the work of the school." Well done to Mrs Dolan and the rest of the school staff for working so hard to gain this recognition and for ensuring every single child's needs are fully met. 

Well done to our attendance winners for trying so hard to come to school every single day! Bronze certificates were given to children who had 100% attendance this half term and silver certificates were given to children for 100% attendance for the whole of the Autumn term. All of these children were entered into the attendance raffle and one lucky winner from each year group was selected for the attendance raffle prize.

Children had a wonderful time at their Christmas parties. There was lots of dancing, games and even ice-cream! But to top it off, Santa visited each class and gave each child a very special Christmas present. All of the children were very polite and remembered to use their good manners with Santa.
