Week Beginning 2nd June 2014
Fri 23 May 2014Please find attached your weekly bulletin for the first week back after half term….
Week Beginning Monday 2nd June
Welcome back to school, I can’t believe this is our last half term! June sees the start of our Healthy Schools month in which we shall be encouraging the children to think about how they keep themselves fit and healthy. Throughout the month they will be participating in special assemblies and activities linked to healthy eating, cooking and physical activity. All children will be looking at the website ‘Food a fact of life’ with their class teachers. Our catering provider Eden, will also be holding Nutri-skill workshops for all year groups across the school. We are proud that all of our children will be raising money for The British Heart Foundation, through participating in the ‘jump rope for heart’ event, which is designed to help children skip their way to health! The Dogs Trust will also be holding workshops linked to keeping animals healthy and helping our children to develop their respect for animals as well as themselves. We will also be having visits from the police to encourage the children to think about how they can keep themselves safe on the roads. A huge thank you to Mrs Meadows and Mr Blundell, for all of their hard work in organising these fantastic opportunities for our children.
We wish Mrs Evison the very best of luck as she begins her maternity leave and as she eagerly awaits the arrival of her new baby. We welcome back Miss Zoe Stratman as she will be teaching Class 4 for the rest of the year. She has been teaching at The Hayes covering different classes throughout this school year and we are delighted she will be joining the team, as she already knows The Hayes well.
On Tuesday morning twelve of our Year 5 children have been invited to participate in a design and build project at Trinity School. You will hear on Monday 2nd June if your child has been selected to take part in this fantastic opportunity. They will be taken to the venue and returned back to school by minibus. If your child is attending they will be required to bring a packed lunch to school on that day.
On Thursday our Year 5 children are at a sports festival all day at Coulsdon Oasis Academy. Also a small group of our Year 5 and 6 children are taking part in the gymnastics final at Fairchildes Primary School.
On Saturday 7th June we look forward to our School Ball at Woldingham golf club. The evening will start with a complimentary drink, and also includes dinner, a fun casino and dancing. We thank the PTA for organising such a wonderful event and hope that all who attend have a superb evening.

Thank you to Class 2 for their wonderful assembly based on the story ‘Giraffe’s Can’t Dance’. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the children speak and dance so confidently in their wonderful costumes.
Next week is our last week of this half term- where has the time gone! Please note that this is only a three day week, followed by the Summer half term break. As the weather appears to be getting warmer can we just remind you to apply a high factor sun lotion to your child in the morning. They can also bring in a sunhat to wear during the playtimes.
Please do not forget that this Saturday, 17th May, our Year 5 and 6 children, parents and staff will be fundraising for much needed ICT equipment for The Hayes, via a bag packing exercise at Tesco Superstore in Purley. Please do go along to support them with this. A huge thank you to everyone who have said they are willing to spend an hour of their time to help with this. As mentioned before the children need to attend in their school uniforms.
On Wednesday 21st May we have entered a team of our Year 6 children to take part in a Kwik Cricket Tournament at Addington Cricket club. If your child is taking part they will need to be collected from school at 12.30pm and from the event venue at 3.30pm.
On Thursday 22nd May the school is CLOSED as it is polling day.
