Dear Parents/Carers,
LATEST NEWS
Hazel Assembly
Thank you to Hazel Class who presented a fantastic
assembly to their parents this morning. The children
chose to do their assembly on World War Two as they
have been learning all about it in their English and
History lessons. Hazel Class delivered many interesting
facts about WW2 and they performed an evacuee
dramatisation. Furthermore, they enthusiastically
performed two songs, ‘A Long Way to Tipperary’ and
‘War’ by Edwin Starr. Well done Hazel on a wonderful class assembly!
Year 1 Postman Visit
Last week, Year 1 had an exciting visitor. A postman came to talk
to us about his job to tie in with our current book, the ‘Jolly
Postman’. We wrote questions to ask him remembering the
questions end with question marks. We found out that he has to
sort letters by the postcode and delivers them on a bike just like
the Jolly Postman. His customers do not sound as interesting as
The Jolly Postman's though... and no one has given him green tea
to drink!
Year 5 trip to RHS Wisley
Year 5 had a wonderful day out at RHS Wisley where we learned more about the
Rainforest. The day consisted of a number of engaging activities; we went to a
large greenhouse and learned about the different plants that can be found in the
rainforest as well as a number of other environments. We especially enjoyed
walking through the rainforest section - complete with waterfall and orchids. We
also explored the green house with magnifying glasses and had the opportunity to
plant cuttings to take home.

During the day, we also had the opportunity to enjoy the play area (the climbing and trampoline
were firm favourites) as well as sketching a variety of flowers and plants. We were so lucky with
the weather - the sun came out for us and the sky was blue. Overall, it was a great learning
opportunity enjoyed by all.
Here are some quotes:
“The glasshouse was fun because of all the tropical plants”
“I enjoyed doing the sketching”
“The greenhouse was really interesting because it was as if you
were in the rainforest”
“The playground was fun!”
Year 6 Bikeability Course
Throughout this week, some more of our Year 6
children have participated in Bikeability. This is a
cycle training programme that teaches them
practical skills and gives them the understanding
and expertise they need to ride their bikes safely
on the road.
Gold Leaves
Congratulations this week to the following
children who gained gold leaves for excellent
work and for going above and beyond: Theo
(Ash Class) George H and Oscar (Elm Class),
Teddy and Dat (Sycamore Class), Liam,
Eleanor, Addison and Zara (Mulberry Class).
INSET Day news
At our recent Inset training, on Monday 27th January, teachers were introduced
to our new scheme of learning at HWPS called ‘Real PE’. The intent of this
scheme is to develop the whole child through physical education and focuses on
six key areas of development; social, cognitive, personal, creative, physical
activity and health and fitness. Through key skills aligned with the national
curriculum, every child will be able to engage with every lesson and achieve their full potential in
PE and Sport and develop learning skills to promote lifelong participation in physical activity.
The day was inspiring, energetic and thought provoking for all staff and we are pleased to now be
able to implement these lessons across the school. I am sure children will be excited to share with
you what they learned in their lessons and how they have achieved their personal best every week.
Feel free to watch Jasmine’s journey at https://jasmineactive.com/ for more information.

Premises Update
We will updating parents and carers shortly explaining all the work that has taken place and will be

We want to assure you that a great deal of time, effort and money is going into upgrading the school
site and facilities.
Regarding our premises, has anyone else noticed any changes in the Infant
