Fri 22 Sep 2017Week beginning 25th September 2017
Thank you to all parents who came along to the Curriculum Meetings yesterday to find out what your children are learning this year. As Miss Slade’s email this week stated, if you were unable to attend you will be able to look at the presentations delivered on our school website from Monday (Parent Information tab/Parent Workshops).
Year 2 looked fantastic this week dressed up for their Circus day, they all had a great day and great fun! If you follow The Hayes on Twitter, please check out our page to see our photos!
Many thanks for the money raised for Jeans for Genes day today. We will let you know how much we have collected in next week’s bulletin.
Just a reminder for reasons of Health and Safety, children should not wear jewellery to school. Earrings are not permitted on swimming and PE days, but plain studs may be worn on the days your child does not take part in sport. If a watch is worn the responsibility for its safety lies entirely with the owner. Thank you as always for your support and understanding.
Next Week:
*Thursday 28th September – Bags 2 School remember to bring your recycling to the office by 9am. No bedding, curtains, towels, household linen or bric a brac! Many thanks.
*Friday 29th September – Our school photographer is in to take individual and sibling photos.
Up Coming Events:
On Monday 2nd October, The Hayes Primary and Hayes Church will be holding our Grandparents Breakfast again. This is to celebrate our wonderful grandparents who do so much for us all.

We have been pleased to be able to welcome our new Reception families to The Hayes this week. The children have settled in well and it’s been great to see them around the school looking so smart and confident. To see our EYFS in action, please take a look at our website (Gallery) and also on Twitter.
We hope that our parents found the Secondary Transfer Meeting informative on Thursday. If you would like to read the powerpoint presentation, it has been uploaded onto our website (Parent Information tab/Parent Workshops).
Congratulations to all of our children who received their Excellence Certificate today. Well done! Also a massive thank you to our Teaching Assistants who do so much for our children at The Hayes (and staff and parents!) Today is Teaching Assistant day and we celebrated in style by presenting each star with a certificate, reading out lovely poems and singing our TA song. Many thanks to Clare Wetherell who made cupcakes for lovely ladies, they were very well received and deservedly spoilt.
Coming up next week:

On Friday 22nd September 2017 we are fund raising for Jeans for Genes, children can wear their jeans for £1.00 with their school jumpers. This is an opportunity for us to do something amazing for the half a million children in the UK who are affected by a life-altering genetic disorder.

Class Assemblies for autumn term are on the calendar on our school website, please take a look.
We are looking for volunteers to come into school and support our children's learning. You will need to have a DBS check completed, as they are at a cost to the school we are looking for people who are willing to commit to helping on a regular basis. If you are interested please contact Ms Saunders.
May we remind you that we are always here to discuss any concerns or worries you may have. Please do catch your child's class teacher at the end of the day or phone the school office to make an appointment.
