Happy Book Assembly
This week - as a special treat - Mr Drakes was allowed to take the Happy Assembly. Held on a Thursday afternoon, it is a chance for the teachers in EYFS & KS1 to let the children know how they have made their teacher happy during the week. Despite only being in school for three days there were lots of candidates for the Happy Book.
Well done everyone for your efforts with phonics, reading, maths and being helpful to your classmates.

Year 6 Visit the Chicks
This week there have been some fluffy, yellow arrivals in the EYFS setting. When the Year 6 pupils heard about the chicks they were very keen to go and have a cuddle. All of the school have been captivated by the dramatic hatching of the chicks - they seem to be growing before your very eyes.
Bug Man Photos
Would you be brave enough to stroke a Mexican Red Kneed Tarantula? Have you got nerves that can handle cuddling a hissing cockroach? Could you let a Pink Winged Stick Insect crawl through your hair?
Without a doubt we have some very curious, brave and calm pupils who rose to all those challenges. Fitzroy, Connor, Freddie, Nathan and Ayomide were all very intrigued to learn that Lucy (the spider) has the ability to rub her back legs together and fire hairs into the air. These act as an irritant to put off predators.
Likewise the Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches (which come from Madagascar and hiss when attacked) are able to make a noise that scares off creatures who might be looking to eat them for supper.

Welcome Back & Events
Welcome Back!
It is a bit belated, but welcome back after what we hope was a restful and enjoyable Easter holiday. The first few days have been quite busy for the children. On Tuesday there was a visit from the Bug Man (Martin Radley) which saw our youngest children handling a Mexican Red Kneed Tarantula and many other amazing creatures. On Wednesday morning they had a theatre production of Tom’s Midnight Garden, while on Thursday we had More Able sessions at Drapers and a Year 5&6 PE lesson there. Like every other term we are going to try and cram as much in as possible for the children, so it is imperative that they don’t miss a day!
Next Week:
Throughout the week we will be having visits from the School Nurse to carry out hearing and vision tests. The Book Fayre will be open every night after school for your purchases – it will be under the Year 1 canopy. On Thursday we have the Rev Rich Shorter in for assembly with the children. In the afternoon there is a joint School Council meeting at Hilldene and our Year 5&6 pupils are off to Drapers for more PE. We finish the week with a dance workshop which has been organized by Miss Morris.

Outdoor Learning
While the pupils were away for Easter a lot more progress was made with the activity trail. Now the observation deck has gone up, complete with clamber nets and slides. This week the hurdles and clamber frame will be installed. Next to the main playground the super sized sandpit is almost complete - just two more loads of crushed concrete are required! Hopefully the whole project will be finished by the end of next week.

We're In The Paper: Harold Hill Poetry Festival
Last term we hosted an event for all of the Harold Hill schools. Gill and Bill - from the MultiStory Theatre company - came to provide workshops for all the children. They took the poems they had practised and performed them to each other, as well as parents, in a grand finale.
It was so great to see the pupils from all of our local schools working so well together. Without a doubt the event was a great success and one that is likely to be repeated. Watch out for the upcoming videos that will be posted shortly.
